Wow, what a cool and sustainable structure in the desert.

In a country that will soon have no water left, a construction project of this size is a contempt for the circumstances and a complete denial of the reality of the present.

We look at the world and are in harmony with ourselves and also say what we see:

Just do it if you get money for it somehow our civilisation must leave a few spectacular ruins on this exploited planet as riddles.

There was something about drinking water, wasn't there?

For thousands of years, people have come to quench their thirst at the springs of Tayma in north-eastern Saudi Arabia. Thanks to the water, proud cities sprang up in the middle of the desert, mentioned by the Assyrians as early as the eighth century BC and important enough for the prophet Jeremiah to include them in his apocalyptic threats. But it took another 2,500 years for his prophecy to be fulfilled - with the help of the Saudi Arabian government.

No water now flows between the palm trees; most of Tayma's springs have dried up. Not only here, but all the oases on the Arabian Peninsula are threatened by the same fate.

Water

Saudi Arabia has wadis, but no rivers and only two small lakes.

Saudi Arabia had a supply of 500 km³ of fossil water under its deserts. In recent decades, this supply has been tapped and largely used up as drinking water for the population, which has increased from 4 million to almost 35 million, and for agriculture in the desert. The aim of agriculture was to reduce the country's dependence on food imports. However, due to the scarcity of precipitation, groundwater recharge is either impossible or only possible to a very limited extent. In 2020, agriculture consumed around two-thirds of the water used, 80 percent of which came from fossil water sources. Previously, agriculture in the desert was significantly restricted. In 2018, a ban on the cultivation of water-intensive green fodder crops came into force, whereupon water use in agriculture almost halved by 2020, from 21.2 billion m³ to 10.7 billion m³. Efforts are being made to curb the increase in municipal consumption, including by renovating the often leaky pipes and expanding wastewater treatment plants.

In 2018, about 50% of drinking water came from seawater desalination plants, mostly operated by the state-owned Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC), 40% from non-renewable fossil water supplies and 10% from surface water in mountainous areas.

Note:

To produce one cubic metre of C25/30 strength class concrete, approximately 300 kg of cement, 180 l of water and 1890 kg of aggregates are required.

And there it is again: the topic of water (180 litres). Well, good luck generating water.

We went grocery shopping Friday morning, everything was peachy keen. We came home to a shit ton of water going down the street from Pam's trailer. One of the pipes had split and since her pipes are a discontinued size and copper, she was told by the plumber today that the only option is to completely redo the piping for the entire trailer. This means that she currently has NO water at all with kids in the house and being disabled. They won't even start on fixing it until she can pay half the estimated amount.

Any help would be so sincerely appreciated and we are begging y'all to share the hell out of this.

Thank you.

I love being dehydrated, everything about it. I love the way I feel dizzy and about to pass out whenever I get up or move around after a long period of time, I love how you can see my skin getting more transparent. I just want to be dehydrated forever and ever. ♡

Guess who doesn’t have access to water! Again!

This time it’s the actual pump for the well, last time it was something else! This time it’s the pump that pulls the water out of the ground!

This is the third time in a year!
