Saudi Arabia Insane Plan to Turn its Desert into Green Paradise

[@NFQ99]

I believe every country should focus on its own resources and land. Improving and sustaining the quality of life for its citizens should be the top priority for every leader.

This is fantastic news, I really hope Saudi Arabia succeeds in these green projects, and then it will encourage other countries to follow their example

[@bredemeijer9648]

First project they do that's actually good.

[@tepidtuna7450]

Well, they have already performed test areas, in particular one south of Jeddah, which needed some water to get started and later thrived on its own naturally. It was designed to slow and collect its own water from minimal rainfall. This also stopped flash flooding in the test areas. So, I hope this can be expanded but it will take some time. The positive effects way outshine the drawbacks.

[@Marco-zt6fz]

Saudi Arabia should invest in education. Green belt should be developed in coastal area and slowly moving towards inner country side.

[@-alwsme]

say you're kidding me For the year 2024 (195) billion riyals, which represents (15.58%) of the country general budget. So if you dont what that means a lot of money for comparison (STEM Invention for a Saudi college is 216 KFUPM 7000 saudi students) vs (North Africa and Middle East 440,000,000 million half a billion 186 STEM Invention)so don't say anything about education in Saudi(STEM is a common abbreviation for four closely connected areas of study: science, technology, engineering and mathematics)

[@AL-lh2ht]

they do invest in education. What you suggest with the green belt is insanely stupid.

[@rimantasdanilevicius6754]

Great video. If Saudi Arabia were in Nato, more people from the West would feel safe (not saying that they feel unsafe now) and if the cultural differences would not affect a lot of people then they could focus on green tourism. I think it is doable, they just need create safe international environment and generate some how more water.

[@margaretjohnson7484]

I agree ,it would have been helpful to hear much more about how the water is going to be sourced instead of the rather boastful numbers and stats

[@scGD10]

Fyi. We can proudly say we have free water on the roads for people to drink. If there is none we won’t use it to increase humidity on crowded places.

[@margaretjohnson7484]

@@scGD10 Thanks Michael. It is lovely that drinking water is being made available for everyone and that Saudi is spending some of its huge financial resources on reclaiming desert lands, which will benefit all of us by helping to manage global warming. It's just really scary not to know exactly how such huge quantities of fresh water are produced, eg how much from desalination, how much from irreplaceable aquifers, how much from recycled used water and how much can be gathered and preserved from rain water and whether all this adds up to enough to keep the new greenery alive. Also it's rather scary if the water for people is provided in long-term polluting plastic bottles. Saudi representatives were very cautious about looking at reducing plastic manufacture at the recent conference.

[@scGD10]

@ yes plastic bottles are a problem. So many free water bottles in the side of the roads for people to pick up and walk off with it. I know littering gives a fine to the person. But still they can do it.

This in not a simple project and it’s ambition was mentioned. To improve the welfare of citizens. Many studies have shown how being around plants improve human mental health. Unfortunately this too will come at an incredibly cost in regards to emissions (co2) A break even figure with regards to carbon being sequestred or savings through renewable energy could never be achieved. Maybe in 5,000 years. Massive amounts of this energy will be required to desalinate water which is already the case for all of their water. It’s not green washing but don’t be fooled that’s it’s any benefit long term to the environment. Our immediate and existential treat called climate change.
