Saudi Arabia's big water problem

Saudi Arabia runs on two fluids - water and oil.
Oil is considered by many to be the country's most important natural resource.
However, for the Saudis themselves, water is becoming increasingly valuable.
Oil revenues are rising, enabling skyscrapers to be built at tremendous speed. But water supplies are steadily declining.As it turns out, they are finite, the end is near and poses a threat to the very existence of the desert kingdom. The main source of fresh water on the peninsula is the Arabian aquifer, formed 20 thousand years ago when the climate in this area was much more humid. This is one of the world's largest aquifers, with the water lying at a depth of 100 to 500, and sometimes 2500 meters. An aquifer is a thickness of permeable, water-saturated sediments that are similar in composition and have a layer-like occurrence. When the aquifer reaches the surface, various springs, as well as sources, are formed. Aquifers are the custodians of groundwater resources. Saudi Arabia is a desert country with no permanent rivers and lakes and very little rainfall. Aquifers are the main source of water here.

    I'm from Jordan, next door to Saudi Arabia. Back in the 1980's and before, I remember vividly we lapped up what we thought were endless supplies of household water. Little did we think of water as a precious commodity. But now we have been grappling with an inexorable water shortage prob for a couple decades, and the situation is only getting worse. Our gov hasn't lifted a finger to address the prob, apart from pumping less and less water to households, leaving ordinary citizens to fend for themselves. Drought, God forbid, may soon be staring us right in the face. At least in SA they seem to care, and they do go all out to eke out solutions and alternatives.

    with the new technologies that we have been discovering and using I don’t think we have a problem with salt water anymore, because we have these water disillation plant and we have discovered a new types of plants that can be watered with two times saltier water than Desalination water waste. Not to mention That 70% of water in the gulf region goes to traditional farming, but that could end with vertical farming which is gonna reduce 90% of the water that is wasted on traditional farming. Also there is an attempt to use treated waste water to irrigate plants around Saudi Arabia. The goal is initially to plant 20 billion trees under the Saudi green initiatives which would hopefully change the climate and help to increase rain in the region.

    They did recently start 4 nuclear reactors, and 4 more are on the way. Of cause, they probobly need 20 or 30.. i guess 4 is a good start.

Evaporation desalination have gained lots of ground the last decades and starting to get really competitive.

    Are there no methods to replenish the aquifers? Example: fog nets near the coast, or reforestation plans to create porous soil and avoid evaporation of the water. Also it is proven in "Ronny Meier et al, Empirical estimate of forestation-induced precipitation changes in Europe," that areas with trees encourage rainfall.

    you still have polluted water, once it is injected into the oil fields, and once it is polluted you will never be able to drink it. Remember water is life, without it you can´t live. From my research Reverse osmosis can help in turning salt water into drinking water, but is it a solution? I would say the leadership of saudi arabia is at fault? Why build golf fields in the desert? it takes ALOT of water to maintain a golf field, so why build it in a desert that lacks water? And traditional farming is also a disaster, why plant oranges and other fruits that needs alot of water in the desert? it is a waste of drinking water and makes no sense, import it from countries where it rains alot. Read Sephen Leahy´s book Your Water Footprint and you will know that it is a big waste of water to build farms in the desert. May knowledge come to us all before it is to late God bless

    Obviously the Saudi government has to provide reliable food supplies to its people. The trouble with importation of food from such long distances means that the carbon footprint of it is vast, greatly advancing climate change &, for a desert nation, quite possibly hastening the end of Saudi Arabia as a habitable zone on the planet; i.e. it will become just too hot & dry to be bearable to live there causing the nation's people to become climate change refugees. Far more needs to be done on the desalination of seawater, collection & composting of food & human waste for the purposes of building soils & their moisture retention values. It also seems ridiculous to continue with the various forms of overhead irrigation which means much H2O is lost to evaporation before it even hits its target & more still is lost due to evaporation from crop leaves; irrigation should ALWAYS be done at soil level to target the roots only &, in a hot dry climate, only at night, not the middle of the day. The Al Baydha Project showed how a permaculture design approach would be a far more sustainable way of addressing food & H2O security if applied to the Kingdom's mountains & wadis, with the long term potential to have year round H2O in their rivers & streams in all but the driest of years. Currently, whenever they do get substantial rainfall in the mountains, it results in flash flooding, causes mass erosion & is mostly lost straight into the Gulf of Arabia; what a waste of fresh H2O, valuable sediment & nutrients. Additionally, any canal networks should most definitely NOT be left open to the sun, but enclosed instead to avoid evaporation.
