    The humidity at the top of the mountain is at a higher temperature than if it were at a much lower level. As the humidity within the wind descends, the humidity gets colder, condenses on the plants’ stems and leaves, and then drips onto the ground, watering the plants. It is a great way to irrigate crops, using the difference in temperature of the 2 levels.

    Urbanization has increased the need for water. Maybe someday their children will want to travel and live in safe Tower cities connected to maglev Trains. So then many different people will need to stay there for 1-3 months to take care of these beautiful oases, like after their children all desert these places. They’ll have computer instructions on what to do. We don’t want to have everyone stop caring for them. And they can’t leave until they have someone to replace them. It will be the same for many places. Of course, anyone can stay as long as they want, including these families, but in the future they might like to see the world in Trains, and it will be a cooperative worldwide system.

    One of the things never discussed is how they protect those Oasis by keeping labor costs low. Look at how rough that terrain is, and how close the Date Palm trees are. There's zero way to get machinery in there to "increase" the crop size like we see in Western nations, however, while that means that manual labor is the only real way to tend the grounds.... you have to be very careful with things that will have a negative impact on the cost of labor. Drive up the costs by increasing regulations, taxes, laws, and policies that sound good... and you destroy the ability of the Oasis to function because the product cannot be sold for enough to pay for the labor. This is exactly what happened in the Western Nations. In the US, the area along the Great Lakes was once a powerhouse of manufacturing, with goods shipped all over the world. Today, it's known as "The Rust Belt" because all of those factories have been closed down. It wasn't just one thing, obviously, but when you have a whole bunch of different things converging.... your system will be killed. Everyone talks about the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back, but never about the million straws that came before it and how they made it impossible for the camel to be healthy and productive.
    Western Nations could do as we see in this documentary because we know they used to do it as seen here. The problem is that they've made it impossible through all the many layers of regulations, laws, social norms, etc.

      If you're concerned about their freedom & place in society ,women in islam & in oman are very well respected and have the freedom they want. People are very conservative its not that the women are oppressed its just the culture & tradition that women often dont like to be on camera or gain alot of attention ,i dont know how to say this best but i think you get the point ,oman is one of the richest countries in the world & i ve been to oman many times i had male & female friends there you can see women in every corner of the big cities & towns ,this place looks like a village so its very understandable that the people are extra conservative not oppressive if thats what you're worried about ,oman is one of the safest places for women even more than places like Sweden, Norway,USA etc. ❤❤ i just wanted to say all that i know thats probably not what you were asking!!!😅
