I saw these circles when my plane flew over canada, i never understood why there are disk , so its a water thing?
aside from the water issue, I just want to appreciate the fact that you didn't use cliche Arabic music (Oud) in the background
Growing up in a small town in the middle of the desert in Saudi Arabia, I remember more than 20 years ago that we would get occasional cut of running water coming from desalination. But credit goes to the consecutive governments of Saudi Arabia for expanding desalination projects that we never had a shortage of water supply in small towns or anywhere. Now desalination factories in the Red Sea use solar panels as sustainable source of fuel for powering the plants.

Ironically, it was drilling for water that led to discovery of the oil caches under the sands of the kingdom.
I've always wondered if planting saltwater mangrove trees along desert coasts will have an effect on the local climate. Trees release water vapor which becomes rain. Kind of a natural desalination plant
“countries without river” idk why i’m so blown by that
Plot twist: They live in a desert.
its crazy that you actually have VERY accurate information!! i mean im Saudi so i do know these info but wow! great job! subbed too!
I have been living in Saudi Arabia for more than 20 years and I did not experience any water shortage. Amazing country.
The strange fact is water is very cheap in Saudi Arabia & Gulf Arab countries! The government pays 80% of the water bill & 20% on the costumers! Lol
I really love the nature of comments here. They’re addressing the subject of the video and not branching to other unneeded topics. Thank you! 😊
Am I the only one who think this is could be a vox video?
Not trying to sound like a crazy person, but what if the just put all the desalination plants inland and pump the water from the ocean. Then make a man made lake to hold the brine and use the desert heat to evaporate into a flat like the salt flats in Utah. You could move these lakes every couple hundred of years to let it fully evaporate to harvest the salt. Use solar power for the pumps and plants, you're in the desert so it would be efficient with solar. I don't know? Saudi have leading scientists they know oil only last so long, time to invest in a new market.
I really enjoyed reading the comments. So many educated people here
The brine from desalinization plants could be used to produce salt when dried in the sun and doesn't necessarily have to go back to the ocean with negative impacts

Saudi Arabia is about the only Arab country that I'd like to visit when I watch the horse racing which the Saudi,s love they all seem so polite and easily approachable, I know that desalination needs a lot of power to get it drinkable but surely with the solar power that is available it could be made more easily
