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.
@rai0ony
aside from the water issue, I just want to appreciate the fact that you didn't use cliche Arabic music (Oud) in the background
@thefrub
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

Ironically, it was drilling for water that led to discovery of the oil caches under the sands of the kingdom.
@joycecornista7884
I have been living in Saudi Arabia for more than 20 years and I did not experience any water shortage. Amazing country.

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
@Keeblor
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 love the nature of comments here. They’re addressing the subject of the video and not branching to other unneeded topics. Thank you! 😊
@faisalalmuhawes6701
I really enjoyed reading the comments. So many educated people here
@Ooooiops
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
