When most of us think of the Middle East and Saudi Arabia, we think of scorching sun, endless ocean of sand dunes, and one of the inhospitable climates on Earth, that wasn’t the case in the not-so-distant past. About 10000 years ago and before it was a place of rolling grasslands, forests, and jungles watered by torrential monsoon rains just like in tropical southeast Asia. Thanks to huge water resources deep beneath, Saudi Arabia could be able to transform desert into farmlands.
Interesting stuff I found for myself:

Back in the mid ‘50s , my father was the first agronomist hired by ARAMCO to help local farmers with introducing and managing new crops; this was in eastern SA. I really enjoyed this video to see progress made in agriculture of the KSA. Best wishes to you.
Very cool!
By SA you south Africa?

That's awesome

Mangoes! What?!, Potatoes...how is it possible(indoor farming?)

There are many food crops that can grow well in the Arabian peninsula. One example is tomatoes, it can withstand hot climates. Other plants are sorghum, cotton (cotton used to be grown in Bahrain 1000 years ago), millet, flax and sisal and many more. I would say build more dams to use and control the rainwater on the western slopes of the mountains and some of this water can be used to recharge the underground aquifers. With science and technology you can do wonders in Saudi Arabia and the rest of the peninsula.
Great. Arabs will prosper even after oil
Brain's+ water=food=national wealth.good luck Saudi people from NZ 🇳🇿
hahaha do you have any idea how much oil money they have from selling fossil fuel. you left out money
@@galehess6676 fair call mate👍not really a good example aye, considering how wealthy the country is! it's great to see how water can transform the countryside tho.cheers
Nevertheless, the Saudi government introduced desalinated water into every home through a giant national water network that reached even rural and remote areas at nominal operating prices, which helped the population to dispense with and provide groundwater.
But groundwater is cleaner and more nutrients
@@hassanjamal4212
Although it is safe for health, we do not use it for drinking and preparing food, but for other uses
@@you_ss7f so what do use for drinking water
For every liter of fresh water, 1.5 liter of toxic brine is created, discharged back into the ocean. Unfortunately there is a dark flip-side to desalination.
@@DrsHWolfenstein brine are fancy word for salty waters... guess what, sea water are salty 😁
Center pivot irrigation isnt effective for water management, it is effective in the sense that it does not require a lot of work from the owner. Drip irrigation is _much_ more effective to preserve water. But in both cases, draining the aquafier is an unsustainable strategy, and people on the US west coast are currently experiencing it.
Correct! Even the Netherlands with plenty of water, use rockwool combined with drip system to exactly control nutrients and the water need of the plants, with it reducing the water use to less than 10% of what was previously used.
@Nashtark 111 how do you know it's Mineralised? Also do plants not absorb them?
For those folks that have never visited the Pacific Northwest, let me say this, you should and come between November and February. Why, because anything that will hold winter rains is full and on the move to the ocean. It boggles my mind that politicos cannot grasp the fact that billions of gallons of water flow in the ditches of the I5 highway into a river and out to the ocean very winter. Anyone with a little ambition and not even a big budget could redirect that water to where it’s needed. Instead nothing happens and people moan and fret over no water. Take a page from Bryan Slats book, and figure it out. The I5 highway starts at the Canadian border and goes south to Mexico
@@islandgardener158 You are over simplifying it. Diverting this water would have serious ecological impacts, it is not like you can gather it right before it touches the beach, it would have to be much higher up. And by doing so, it would mess up the ecosystem downstream. It is very naive to think that you can divert a huge amount of water without impacts.
Agreed, we introduced drip irrigation in Saudi arabia 35 years ago to compete with CP in terms of water conservation.

Was finding these kind of comments

Exactly the 1st thing that came to mind. We’re not expecting the signs of the hour, we’re watching them intensify before our very eyes.
I saw this video in recommendations and I was reminded of the prophecy. I came here just to see whether anyone else is reminded too. SubhanAllah we r nearing the day of qiyamah.
Brothers and Sisters - let’s make a collective effort to protect ourselves by remembering to read the first or last 10 verses from Surah Kahf every Friday.
Am from kenya, East Africa, am in love with what u guys r doing, keep SA green.
For the people who don't know, one side of Saudi Arabia gets snow every year the other side is really like a forest with green mountains and gets rain regularly, the red sea side is filled with chains of mountains, and only the middle is where the fair golden sand is but even that part gets rain for few days/weeks and it's rewlly heavy rain that flows like rivers in the middle of the deset.
It's oftne known that the middle-east was forests and river before and infact it will be like that again but naturally, not by man. The more I see the climate changes the more I am sure I might live to see the beginning of the end lol.
Your country has a unique geography indeed
Climate always change. Humanity has negligible impact on it
so dam up the wadis and save that flood water.
excuse me, but countries with desertifcation are re-greening thier land and it's by human means. After all, Adam was a gardener, wasn't he? it's what most humans are created to do. manage the garden ie the earth and including replanting things.

@@dead_on_departure Sorry to break your incorrect theory But I am from a small town in Saudi Arabia There is a lot of groundwater in my town, The Saudi government did not take possession of our land, but gave the landowners money and the ease of extracting the water for agriculture And all the crops of my town feed most area’s in the north of the kingdom, and literally all the farmers in it are local Saudis, and even they are over 50 years working with their sons and daughters, Never again stick your nose into something you don't know

Long term pumping water from underground in a desert is catastrophic for the environment
it might get replenished from sea water seeping in underground and being filtered by the earth. losing its salt.
Very interesting effort to plant trees in the sand and receive rain as a result. Here in SriLanka it is greenary always but still we used to plant trees either side of roads as well.
Sri Lanka has rain, Saudi Arabia lacks rain. But nonetheless you're right. Mountainy places in the future might get a lot of precipitation. Vegetation increases humidity, and in terms increases precipitation.
What ever said and done there is no country better than
Sri lanka and the proud history
Sunil Chandrasiri: The most magical place I ever visited was Sri Lanka; I was there so long ago that it was still called Ceylon. Being only 10 years old, I was enthralled with the monkeys (they were everywhere), elephants bathing in rivers, as well as the exotic flora and beautiful gardens. Really too much beauty to describe adequately.
It's not sand in first pale
Only a small part of Saudia Arabia is coverwith sand

You are going to need alot of water for that. Where are you going to get it from? Sea water Desalination?
@@jackolantern6719 I am not up to date with all the details but the type of trees they will use are more suitable for the kingdom's climate, and I think that the trees will need only 3 years of irrigation

@@aboalazbh in ethiopia, we planted about 400 million trees just in one day, and still we are planting more and more before the rainy season goes away
@@Omer1996E.C press [x] to doubt. that would be like if every person in the whole of ethiopia planeted 4 trees all in a single day.
I think their problem is the same thing as the Oklahoma dust bowl. They don’t have enough vegetation that have DEEP root systems to hold the water to the local eco system
And terribly destructive farming methods. We have learned nothing. The "dirty thirties" mistakes are made now on a scale larger by orders of magnitude.
This is a good thing and I am glad to see SA spending money on real productive projects and not silly sand islands and other such real-estate disasters that will not feed the country or diversify away from oil total dependence at all. Manufacturing , agriculture , mining and services , tourism last if at all .

True that
Not sure why you focus on Nuclear when Saudi Arabia is so well suited to solar. Agrivoltaics should be of particular interest in that region. Using the solar panels to shade the land and reduce water use for agriculture. I am not against nuclear per se, but solar (agrivoltaics in particular) appears to be clear winner in this case.
Solar is not efficient nor reliable. When reach above the 30% energy from solar things start to be muddy. Most countries have more than 30% are struggling.
Our future will be energy from multiple sources, both renewables and fossil fuels.
Correct me if I am wrong but won't setting up solar panels in a desert require more water to clean the panels of all the accumulated sand?
@@user_ascii no .. sand generally doesn't stick to solar plates..they can just be dusted off..
And the dusting Also won't be required on a daily basis
@@swagotombhattacharjee3455 electrostatic cleaning?
@@CountingStars333 Yess ! Given that the installer is ready to bear the cost. Those electrocleanser set ups are costly. Given the solar panel itself is costly. Otherwise electro static cleaning IS the most efficient
As far as i know and learned at my studies in the university, Dessertification isnt drycut a problem of overgrazing. Cutting down trees is a problem however there is strong discussion leaning towards that herding animals over these water poor lands, helps create a healthy soil, and therefore grasslands. Grasslands in it self further binds the soil and prevents the soild degradation to continue.
By God,It is mentioned in Hadith
that The Arab land will again become green
The word Again is referring to that Arabia was once an Fertile land
Ok for information it's Ayat not Hadith.

Saudi Arabia is smart. If all countries did this, instead of spending on weapons, tanks, guns, rockets, bioweapons, etc, this world would be a better place. It just needs the will to do it!
Also trees attract or create rainfall through photosynthesis, and respiration, so they can aid in changing the climate in their favor. All power to Saudi Arabia! Well done!
Its not smart, its a short term solution. It will backfire heavily
@@Kelvinpierre99 I bet if people started practicing this it would rain conveniently everywhere and the planet would cool And white Christmas would Return the old Norm to us
Saudi already runs the largest desalination plant, is creating a very interesting city/township, is working on solar desalination and now this! Saudi should try micro drip irrigation..that would save even more water. Great!
With a lot of oil for a lot of energy Saudi can afford desal for now. As fields decline, they have to try passive desal. It will be interesting if the northern Saudi dome desal project to come on line this year actually works.
Saudi Arabia has the capability to generate electricity entirely from solar energy while being to able to export it's gas ⛽ entirely at the same time.
Imagine the amount of wealth it can generate
Consider the amount of sand they'll have to remove from sheets every day. Expense will Bezos

@Rahul das there's an Adani solar project in Tamilnadu. It's in a village and their biggest challenge is dust. In desert it might be a bigger problem.

Would be awesome if they add elevated solar panels to shade the ground and see if grass grows beneath the panels slowly changing the landscape
Pretty good idea

Isn't that's amazing that this kind of information has been spoken about it 1400 years ago and its happening and we are witnessing on it in our times ❤
Now I finally know what all those green circles I saw while on a flight were.
More trees will bring more rain but it’s desert soil that holds less water….ambitious but good as science progresses in future maybe there will be solution for this too…..good job KSA 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Yes brother more trees will bring more rain. But their reason transforming only for commercial (chinese mentality )may be fail this mission in future.
That’s why you don’t start in the middle of a desert to try and jump start greening. You start where there’s already arable land and expand the edges of that land into the deeper desert. Along the way you’re turning unproductive sand into healthier soil
Good point
There are trees in places because there is rain in that place, not the other way around.
@@Dionisio_Aragao it’s mostly like greenhouse there are filling up land with arable soil

I remember hearing about this few years ago, this is amazing to rewatch and refresh! Nice video, glad I was subbed! I'd personally suggest to think about, what if they don't just build crops, so that water cycle can also be restored and more oasis zones are created?
No crops = no food for the world. Also these oasis/aquifer zones can take hundreds to thousands of years to form. Best we can do I reduce water usage
@@rodrigogonzalez3789 yes, of course. But I think it's important to improve water management in all its escales (^^) also, geographic characteristics and others affect this issue... challenging but interesting
They're not doing it for the US; they're using our resources and when they run the aquafer dry, they'll move on. Sort of like giving the finger to the US.

Deep in the deserts of Saudi Arabia, a team led by Oxford University has made a startling discovery: a giant, 325,000-year-old tusk belonging to an extinct species of elephant, remarkably preserved and embedded by an ancient lake.

They also need to balance the water shortage due to pumping inside internal water ways.
Your video was very detailed, very informative and organized with facts needed to be presented at that point, Good Work
Saudi Arabia is drilling for a resource possibly more precious than oil.
The green fields that dot the desert draw on water that in part was trapped during the last Ice Age.
Saudi Arabia reaches these underground rivers and lakes by drilling through the desert floor, directly irrigating the fields with a circular sprinkler system. This technique is called center-pivot irrigation. 2:48 [NASA Scientific Visualization Studio]
Really enjoyed this as a professional Hydrologist 😃
this is a sign of the end of times stated by the prophet Muhammad PBUH. he said “the hour will not come until the land of the arabs returns to being filled with greenery once again”
everything is a signe in the ideology
🤦🤦
Here we go
Right.. It's in Hadith
🔥🔥🔥
I agree with that
Your videos are so interesting. It seems like desert countries are fighting a losing battle farming where there is no water
I bought some cooked beetroot from a store some years back, it was from Saudi Arabia.
Brilliant article; money, trees, great circular irrigation ( no water waste) inspiring. Thanks from New Zealand.
Actually with pivot irrigation there's a spray of water from above the crops, so there's plenty of blow off when there's a warm breeze. Drip irrigation or sprayers low between rows captures far more water. Up to 80% losses
Hands down, this video is the best video about agriculture in Saudi Arabia I’ve ever seen! Keep up the good work 👍🏼
While travelling over gulf countries on the way from USA, I took several pictures of these circles. I thought they were probably oil wells back then.
Center pivot technology is used all around the world to produce a variety of crops. Current technology allows farmers to control their pivot's operation with a smartphone, tablet, or computer.
Each center pivot irrigation system rotates around a pivot point, most commonly located in the center of a field. Pivot irrigation is often viewed as a sustainable solution for growers that work with different crops. Center pivot irrigation systems are among the most water-efficient ways to irrigate crops, with anywhere from 85 to 98% water use efficiency. The main disadvantage is the relatively high cost of acquisition of a center pivot irrigation system. 1:23 [AGRIVI; Alabama Cooperative Extension; Groundwater Foundation]
I saw these dark circles from the airplane a few times and always wondered what they were. It Probably must have been at a season with no crops being cultivated but it always amazed me.
Excellent educational discussions and factual analysis.
Most important news I have learned about this subject.
This is the best blessings of nature for our friends in Saudi Arabia.

There is the urgent need to build canals under the mountains from West to east, under the mountains, like kariz in Iran to transport rain water and prevent run offs into the ocean
Instead of spending on desalination plant this is the best idea. Rain water is pure.
@@soniasheel5301 well understood and presented.
I live in Indiana, U.S., in the middle of farm country. We know that 20-25 days after the farmers start watering their fields, we will run out of water at our house. Maybe that is just here since there is no way of accurately mapping underground water.
the usa is over farmed at least for field crops and irrigation. Need permaculture and more trees and bushes, perennials, that need little or no watering by humans. Just rain.
Nice explanation and video!
Have you some more infos about how the crops/fruits etc. be farmed when they ready?
Oh thanks for telling us about these, i was wondering what the hell those circles are.
That was really fascinating. Granted, it will be a long time before Saudi Arabia runs out of oil. But if they would invest in this idea, they could change the usefulness of their land for future generations to come. They could use the immense fortune coming out of the ground in oil and perfect this technology that could then be used by countries around the world to make their less than desirable lands to be more productive. Great show! Thanks!
And if they invested in solar and wind they could be feeding a lot of the world needs for electricity all by themselves! And they could grow the crops under the solar panels with less water loss! All of the dessert areas could do this
I believe they are already diversifying their investments to get a head start on becoming less dependant on oil.
They are draining their aquifers and when those dry up, all that agricultural land will revert to desert
@@terry2346 we have whole cities with clean energy by the way. People develope things based on the idea of being sustainable when we sell our last oil barrel.
@@amblincork actually if you know anything about the Saudi, it gets really heavy rains every year for few days/weeks that actually flows like river beds. Their mountains are really different and rocky and dark, even where I live on the borders that faces Saudi we get a gew days of few heavy rain and the desert turns green and camels and sheep eat from the groud.
it is intersting that the UK is covering much of it's best fertile farmland into solar farms, where the sunlight is "poor" for much of the year, particularly in winter when power demand is highest.
Yet, here, Saudi Arabia, where sun is strongest all year around, they are turning solar into food directly.

Well done to them but they need to update their methods; indoor farming using hydro/aeroponics is even more water efficient and it's better protected from environmental damage like sand storms.

Interesting irrigation concept. There is an ancient dam and retention lake/settling pond at the base of Jebel Al Lawz in north west Arabia. It has about a dozen hand dug wells along the shore rim that filtered the collected mountain runoff water for potable uses. On the other side of the mountain there is also a giant 3 story tall rock split down the middle by geiser water jets forcing up from the aquifer. There is good HD drone video over @Discovered Media on youtube.

@@normanwells2755 there are places where the people get together and plant food forests. you should get your locals together and do this.
@@theCosmicQueen I'm still waiting for wolfman to tell me where he gets free vegetables and what vegetables they are.

If you think getting together with my community to grow a 'food forest' is practical you don't know most communities. Everyone here does their own thing.
Amazing - got to admire this!
I finally discovered why there is many circles in the google map, It's Amazing!
I wonder if this could be used in the arid Southwest US (Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, etc.). Many of the Native American tribes are suffering from water shortages. Some of it is due to natural forces and some due to political forces (connected forces get first pick of the resources).

As much as the weather, the big challenge of farming in desert regions is the poor water holding capacity of the soil.
Work on agricultural practices to improve it, So that reduces the irrigation water demand and as a consequence also the build up of salinity.
Keep safe
Desert Control (DSRT) will change that, it's game changing.
Kiamat semakin hampir. Seperti yg pernah dinyatakan Nabi.
Wow very nice and good Video. Thanks.
Beautiful and brilliant idea--
Prophet Shalallahu'alaihi wa Salam didn't lie. Arab land really is turning greener.
To even think he would lie is a crime
@@Ray-bf9cx Yes one of the minor signs
@@Ray-bf9cx Yeah, the signs are becoming Crystal Clear
Do you guys always have to bring prophet and religion into every topic of discussion?
@@prodigiii712 Do you have to look at it, no! Do you have a problem.
Why do people have to be negative about our religion? when people see the truth false hood try’s to take it over.
I hope our Scientists concentrate first in rehabilitating planet earth before their ambitious plan to terraform Mars. There are many deserts here on Earth that need transformation from lifeless to livable land. Saudi Arabia is showing to the world that desert land can be useful by turning it green. I'm sure these scientist has better ideas on how to do it more effectively.
yes, and they are far from being the first to do this re-greening. israel was doing it for the whole 20th century and more so in the last 50 years. Now also Lebanon and Jordan, and China. The Old World was badly deforested and desertified by the past 5000 years of mankind paying no attention to what they were causing.
My curiousity is now answered.
I have an idea for easier desalination using solar energy: Build a large structure over the water at the coast, preferably in a place which has tides. It should be mostly clear, so sunlight can reach the water surface. It needs to have walls, but only above the surface. The bigger the area, the more slanted the walls you could have, to mitigate wind load. Presumably towers would keep the roof up, so if these extend through the roof then wind turbines can sit on top of those, generating electricity.
Tide replenishes water so it does not become too salty (which is a problem with desalination plants). Basically, large area instead of focusing sunlight.
Alternatively, concentrated solar desalination plant, where brine is collected and used to extract lithium and other elements we need rather than releasing it back as toxic sludge would be a nice touch. Its a quite sad that we use large amounts of land for salt production (with negative environmental impacts), mine brine inland to extract lithium (with negative environmental impacts) and simultaneously release brine as toxic sludge from desalination (with negative environmental impacts), when all of this could be done in a 1 stop shop. Remarkably short sighted.
Similarly, it's depressing to see CO2, which is a REALLY useful chemical, being treated as waste in large industrial processes. Holistic approach, anyone? If CO2 was a PRODUCT of quicklime production, rather than waste, it would help a lot. Imagine not needing to pump oil for jet fuel, but rather converting water and limestone (or sea shells?) into quicklime and methanol, all with concentrated solar as power source.
If only the world would run out of oil sooner, we might start seeing solutions instead of problems.
Cool idea except it’s not original
@@isaacyap9207 So it's being done somewhere?
According to this video, I think they need to focus on the project in the western slope of saudi arabia even if it times consuming. This project sound fascinating.
