Very exciting project, go Eritrea, we love you 🇸🇴
I remember this project also had created so many jobs for the people, and turned a dessert to green area. It was a life project for the enviroment and the people there.
Thanks sea water organisation
Thank you. Maybe the changing political situation in Eritrea will allow us to bring this project back to life.
I hope so
@@howardwaz
Just come back and launch it . You will be amaized how much forward we have moved in the economy.Stop talking politics and do your science as simple as that.After you we hace built a thousand dams and have collected a billion cubic meter of water.Solar has become a standard in almost all villages of Eritrea.Come help us change the ecology.
@@howardwaz The project is exciting. But the documentation seems to be a few years old. What happened to the project? How was it continued?
@@gjkkhfdsdfjkvfhjk8718 the dictatorship government forced them to leave in 2001/2002, its been almost 20 years since everyone there were kicked out and the project was abandoned.
so wonderful! As usual anything I have seen Neal Spackman involved with a group of wonderful people are associated!
Eritrea my country i wish best beautiful the full hope land future
I am excited seeing this greens with sea water... thank you!
thanks for the great job you have done, god bless Eritrea
Interesting project.
thanks you for sharing
I am from eritrea I want to say u thanks but thanks is not enough
I missed the place Iwas born and grow and proud. Of Eritria the few the brave and common sense in the horn of Africa
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏿
Our Beatiful ERITREA😍Self Reliance is the key, thanks for this video👌✌by the way for your info Eritrea is been ILLEGALLY under UN sanctions for 10 years.
shepard! we're at farm. No one wants to admit it but the farm's under drought.
Thanks and i watched this again all i can say is the people of eritrea and way of thinking of the government is amaized me .
I now they will be a winner with there goal. western and woyane enterferiance didnt neildown eritrian people Thanks god for
showing me all the result of isayas plan thanks again
Proper ganda
Long live jeganu deqi eri 🌹
Thankyou for the green news !
Love it . We the Eritreans in the foreign countries are complaining about the government as if they not doing any thing but when I see this footage oh my God fills me with happiness. Keep going viva Eritrea
Do you that the dictatorship government of eritrea forced them out of eritrea in 2002 right? It’s been abandoned since then.
Nice one Howard! Love the higher video resolution!!
+Dan Asher Gracias. Stilling looking for the high res version of the 28 minute version
+Howard Weiss De nada mi hermano. Has an attention span; will watch 28 min version many times if it becomes available. :D A condensed, best of 5 minute version or so would be ideal for sharing with the busy business folk decision makers of the world... The 17 min version is my personal fav.
God bless you my coutry
Yes yes egein We Eritrean Hopp for GOD MERSI AMEN.
This project shows the potential of innovation, and how solutions are out there for the world's most difficult problems. Unfortunately, I understand that this project did not proceed further and is no longer operating due to the political situation.
Thanks Joe for your positive comment. Know that over 20 years later we are still pursing projects.
@@howardwaz I am glad to hear you are still developing projects. There is such a need for this type of solution due to climate change and worsening drought conditions. Imagine if this solution were to be deployed all along Somalia's coast; no more famine, and a viable economy to divert people from piracy and conflict. Politics is always the hard part. The fact that the model was successfully demonstrated in a difficult environment such as Eritrea is valuable proof of concept.
I like shrimp farm that doesn't destroy mangrove
After watching 15 years of youtube videos, this is the MOST important video ever released on youtube. Please people, take this seriously, and Upgrade Mr Trump and Scott Pruitt a bit.... The world has to educate itself and Understand this concept.
Eddie- Thank you for your very kind comments... and for "getting" what we're about. You might be interested in watching the full half hour show that this is extracted from: th-cam.com/video/ibWYfC8z9co/w-d-xo.html as well as a "Proposal Video" for a similar, though 50 times larger project in Egypt that got stopped (hopefully just postponed because of the Arab Spring) . th-cam.com/video/R6IYyqXQdZU/w-d-xo.html. I just put up a new website that will be expanded significantly over the next month. There's a place for you to comment and leave us your contact information. www.seawaterworks.com. Looking forward to being in communication with you.
Excellent thank you for the info. My own ADHD behaviour likes the shorter 17 min summary more. Factual and concise. I'm from Cape Town, and the water crisis with dams drying up, and ground water drying out at rapid rate, and no one admitting that 1 000 mega litre desalination plant that national government won't easily do (due to cost), is the only way out for us.... The technique of salt water farm can really improve the lives of people and help the environment at the same time. Very good video. Hope the Egypt one works out, will ook at it's video now. By the way: trying to garden with several fruit trees and vegetables on 50 litres of water a day is a tough challenge, especially when one see trees blossoming each year earlier and earlier, winters getting warmer, plants not getting any cold sleep rest, plants burning leaves in the summer, shorter growing seasons etc.. Water is Life.
Smart man we have in somalia one. Ore 3. Naturl
Definitely have to agree with you, this concept can be used anywhere in the world from so-called 1st to 3rd world countries, to help with food security and creating employment and uplift communities.
I love this idea. Have you found a sustainable food for the shrimp? Will it make local ground water more saline?
Great question about "sustainable shrimp feed"! We will indeed be "tweaking" feed on our next project to see if we can develop a feed LESS dependent on bycatch or other animal protein (We're hoping for an animal-free answer- but it's unlikely.) MINIMIZING animal protein is our goal at this point.) As far as salination of fresh water- it's a matter of designing the farm properly- proper drainage is the issue. Interestingly, if done correctly, you can engineer the site in such a way that you get MORE fresh water available by creating "fresh water lenses" that have fresh water FLOATING on salt water www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.researchgate.net%2Ffigure%2FConceptual-model-of-a-freshwater-lens-of-Hawaii-and-illustration-of-the-Ghyben-Herzberg_fig1_225132691&psig=AOvVaw37UTQEK3zEv1zZrHlZar-1&ust=1622329970904000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCPDEop7A7fACFQAAAAAdAAAAABAJ
As the seawater is going into the plants as water, what is happening to the salt? Will these fields and forests be salt flats in a century? Or is there a return flowage to the sea? Or do the plants also take in the salt?
Great question Poppa San. The land we choose has to have good drainage characteristics, so there is minimal salt buildup. We irrigate at much higher levels than the plants need to survive (3-4x), so the soil is "flushed" of excess salts. We have 50 ha in Mexico that have 20+ years of crops, and it's still useable. Irrigation with salt water needs to be MANAGED if it's going to work. You can see the crops starting at about one minute into this CNN video. This was shot wne the farm was about 20 years into operation. th-cam.com/video/PVxDClrBAAA/w-d-xo.html
@@howardweiss1686 So you are returning water to the sea with a higher salt concentration than you withdrew. Is this high enough to create local dead zones as I have heard rumored about desalination plant discharge? Do you need government "dispensations" from environmental rules to allow this to happen?
@@poppasan1873 again, good question. Salicornia and other halophyte do indeed take up significant salt, and we’re not allowing a salt build-up with our “over irrigation”. We’re about to start up an new project and I’ll bring up the issue, but it’s hard to believe based on the amount of water we return that there is an issue. WE are NOT desalting, so we NEVER have brine issue.
Solutions should be developed together with local people & working with nature. This way there is a chance for sustainable impact. Permaculture...
Good job, in afghanistan we have drink water rivers but we can not pump them upstreams so we are so dry
🇪🇷✊🏾❤️
Su Zhu would sponsor many of these, ask 3 Arrows Capital for funding!
Thank you for the lead!
Ertrean the one cute country
love the video but we're not running out of fresh water.
went to Eritrea when they first got their independence.
friendly and nice people couldn't stop laughing told me
They were civilized because they drank cappuccino.
neighboring country do not
There's a lot of water on our planet, but sometimes not in the right places. www.e-education.psu.edu/earth103/node/766 And yes, coffee is a big deal in Eritrea. I participated in a lot of coffee ceremonies--- always made with fresh water!
If it wasn't for poor political leadership in Eritrea,this project would have been a hit.
You pegged it right!
Carrie Oakey Why would you say that what are your facts??
@@E1991. I'm Eritrean, the problem is not just poor political leadership. The one ruling party has been in power for almost three decades now. they did not manage to build a single international university but they did manage to run more than 300 prisons. 23-27 years ago they arrest 15 top political leaders including ministers, and another journalists, wealthy people, highly educated people and no body has seen the sight of them since, nor a single court trial they just put them in some underground prisons. no body knows where are they. Even the patriarch holy father of the orthodox Christian has been jailed now for almost 2 decades without any explanation to the public. There is even demonstration going on in this week in United States for support of our Holly father.
Owwwww sheen u must be kidding what the hell u doing in my country I like that
