Timimoun oasis: Growing food in the desert I WIDE
Timimoun’s market is filled with colourful and fresh vegetables. One can hardly believe that they have been grown in the centre of the desert, in one of its unlikely gardens.
One of the sellers from the market invites us to follow him back into his garden. While showing us around, he explains to us the ancient irrigation system that allows vegetation to thrive in one of the driest places on earth.
From the film: “Algeria - The Veins of Desert”, from the collection “Connecting Traditions”

These ppl are so brave growing everything from scratch in such a hostile environment...us in the north of Algeria have a lot of rain forests and fertile ground so produce is aplenty ... our siblings of the south are just so hard working 👏👏👏👏
He said “it’s a big responsibility not just in our lifetime but especially before God who judge our actions” really powerful words may God bless him .

Yes, it is enjoined upon all Muslims to fulfill the trust that Allah reposes upon them, e.g., taking care of nature, animals, plants, etc. because they're supportive of human existence.
Makes us realise we shouldn't take the availability of drinking water for granted.
This should be shown in every schools across the world. Young generation must be taught how to conserve water and struggle people go through in those part of the world where there is no water or less access to fresh water

They have to use pipes to transport water. Also they need to adopt drip irrigation system and eco friendly mulching technique to conserve and judiciously use this precious water.

Isaiah 44:6 Thus Saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts, " I am the First, and I am the Last, and besides me there is NO God." John 14:6 Jesus said unto him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me." Revelation 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the First and The Last, the Beginning and the End.
nice!
Someone should put drip irrigation system in this oasis for equal distribution of water. The pipelines would be covered. So sand will not get mixed with water.

the goverment would say no foggara is considered a heritage and Timimoun is tourist area so you know, in other parts of the country drip irrigation system are almost mandatory

they've been doing it this way for thousands of years. Drip irrigation pipe lasts a few years and needs constant maintenance. Why change a way thats worked for centuries?
Indeed,they have a far better life than all of us .Away from these environment pollution and mind pollution we have here

If that water continues flowing you must have a drums or a big pond to save water...
❤❤❤
Amen
The water must flow.
I do not want to disrupt their way of life with technology -- when I can.
Collards and okra would do well there.
