The World's Largest Artificial Rivers Under Construction

Today we explore the largest artificial rivers in the world, under construction in deserts, cities and across countries. We explore a number of these mega projects such as - The Kachi Canal project Pakistan, Great Man-Made River of Libya, Afghanistan's Kosh Tepa Canal, China's South-to-North Water Diversion Project, The artificial river of Saudia Arabia, New Delta Project OF EGYPT

The video needs to address two things better: -Politics. For example, NATO bombed the Libyan water network, and Balochistan has an ongoing insurgency. How those connect to water issues isn't explained. -Water supply: Does Pakistan/Afghanistan actually have enough water for its plan? What's its strategy to maintain adequate supply?

[@Spooferish]

Scientists are talking about this for sometimes but they never said there will be no water what they says it will be with cycles like low rains for 3-4 years than record rain for the 5 year. You like it or not, but Pakistan is addressing this issue very intelligently even with less resources. For example 2010 flood Pakistan diverted to the deserts. Even though there was disaster at that time but today Pakistan's desert are getting vanished.. even the kach canal project is made on that groundnonly. same time Pakistan diverted the whole river to fall into the river Jhelum which is already having too much water to different place through the underground tunnels. Then Pakistan has developed more than 700 small dams (450 of them in Punjab alone) to store the water, if sindh and KPK also follow then it will be huge relief for Pakistan to protect water, and make it available whenever needed. Pakistan also have build lots of canals recently which improved accessibility of water.

[@domtweed7323]

@@Spooferish That's really cool. I'm not criticizing Pakistan, I'm criticizing the video for not covering what you just said. I'd really like to see a video on how Pakistan is planning it's water management long-term, and how it plans to store it's irregular flood waters. But a video that ignores all that, and just says "look at this one canal" is much less interesting.

Plants and trees must be found that can withstand the salinity of sea water so that desert countries overlooking salty seas can benefit. By planting these plants and trees as wood, oils, or fish farms with plant feed on salty water, a solution must be found to plant the desert with salty water.

[@mbaktari8194]

Personally, I prefer DESALINATION SEA WATER instead of tapping underground water and ATMOSPHERIC WATER GENERATOR system for these DESERT COUNTRIES. ALSO, CHANNELING sea water go deep inland desert to COOL DOWN high desert temperature like what EGYPT is doing with it's depression land.

[@user-ed9so2rb4k]

For this to be realized, another source of energy will be required, say, nuclear otherwise just burning gas or fossil oil will exhaust its usage soon enough!

[@drewwendell]

When it comes to cooling the dessert, dumping an inland sea worth of salt water into the aquifer is almost always the wrong move

[@khunmikeon858]

Desalination is an energy intensive process. But I guess solar panels could be used in desert areas if one can overcome the issue of sand dust reducing the panels efficiency. (Accepting that solar panels are not actually so green when one takes account of the mining of key elements used in their fabrication and the fact their lifespan is only about 20 years and they are not currently recyclable. Ditto for wind turbines!). Nothing is as it seems😅 Nuclear 💪💪

Do you know how many panels would be needed just to supply the energy. It takes almost 95% of a roof just to power a house. Solar doesn't bring in the power you think. I have 50 panels now and barley powers my house in the summer. We are putting another 10 panels in 2025

Why keep calling them artificial rivers when there is a perfectly suitable shorter word- canals? And this does not address issues in respect of gradient (and hence flow) and changes in level - which is why you have to have locks and in some cases, aqueducts and boat lifts ( elevator).

The best project was done by Libya, but as usual, the West did not like it and they destroyed the most expensive part of the project, which is just a fresh water deposit?!? In fact, all these projects are very simple, Europe has the Danube that flows through most of Europe and goes into the sea, it could very easily be carried through a single pipe to the Sahara, which should be enough for agriculture, and in return, the Sahara countries could implement a 10% smaller pipe through which the oil would go in the same way. And in this way, it would be very easy to solve the problems of water and oil for Europe and the countries of North Africa, as well as in many other places. In fact, there is enough water and oil for everyone, at least for 20 billion people, but because of the greed of those who manage the sale of oil, we have wars instead of a good life?!?!

[@fabiodeoliveiraribeiro1602]

Short-term solutions (opening canals and creating rivers) in the long term can often result in environmental disaster. The Soviets had the ingenious idea of ​​diverting the fresh water that supplied the Aral Sea to irrigate arid regions. For a few decades, irrigated agricultural production exploded, but then it declined because the Aral Sea dried up (this reduced the humidity of the entire region, altering the rainfall regime that supplied the rivers). And yes, the Murican who narrates the video is very annoying and talks too much without addressing relevant political issues.

Lets do some math. How much is the annual rainfall in your country? That times the area of your country is available water. How much do you collect of that? That's renewable. If collected renewable is less than usage then you have a problem. Desalination. How many years of oil do you have left equals number of years till you go back to dates and camels. Sounds racists but Europe will be burning coal and trees using horses by this time. It's actually not that far off. Don't worry the rich will be fine.
