@@TheRightONe-et3ghdo you really believe that? Why would all the NATO nations be worried about Libya entering the 20th century? I don't think you've given this much thought beyond blaming all issues in unstable countries on them. Granted, there is likely a percentage of truth to it but when only repeating the 10% and ignoring the any portion of the 90%, you've so distorted the factors that it's closer to just call it a lie.
Nothing wrong with the Afghans old equipment, it's chraper and easier to fix and doesn't rely on expensive gps computer screens. My farm neighbours bulldozer is a cat from the 60s, he built his own dam no problem
The first phase (The 363km of punjab area) already been completed of Kachi Canal. Kachi Canal InshaAllah will be lifeline for the tribal and drought areas of Balochistan and since Pakistan have world most glaciers outside polar regions so it will also help the country to counter floods.
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?
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.
@@Spooferish That's really cool. I'm not criticizing Pakistan, I'm criticizing the video for not covering what you just said.

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.
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!
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.

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?!?!

Historical warning; The dead sea was killed when the USSR attempted to transfer water to its farming districts (nation states.) My understanding is a lot of it leaked from poorly sealed construction, so much so most soaked in the ground. Even after sealing the project it has yet to recover. Also, Californias north to south water transfer was highly successful as is diverting part of the Mississippi's (technically its a tributary) water (in Colorado) towards the west coast instead of the east as it naturally flows.
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).
Because canals were built many centuries ago. Built without "engineers", without technology in sight, without the industrial revolution, without the eye in the sky, without logistics or much access to prior knowledge, but with the participation of many people. There are many people today. There is much need of this many people, served/fulfilled by ordinary people and ambitious people. An 'artificial river' is a more appropriate term for the ambitious people. Rivers are natural occurrences, made by 'Nature' - but not by 'SuperNature'. However, to improve the lives of people in need is necessary, and ethical... with or without ambition. Proper improvements and progress in the correct path(s) is ethical, though may not be necessary at the time. It is true progress, that is without downfalls or regrets. Foresight without ambition.
@@wip1664 The first modern canal is the Bridgewater build around 1760 but this followed contours. The first canals to go directly from A to B were designed by Thomas Telford in the 1790s. Telford is regarded as the first true modern civil engineer and the inventor of what we now call project management since he was able to deliver to planned cost on time. He certainly used technology and the canal network created at this time is still in use today. Instead of writing off the top of your head take the time to first read about a subject. An ‘artificial river’ is indeed a canal.
@@jontalbot1 You are a historian. I am not. But yes, prior knowledge of "things" in general that has great impact on many other things need to be considered. The Chinese built the Grand Canal many centuries ago, much more than a few. I can only write off the top of my head since I do not know many things. But I can relate what is known.

Desalination is a danger, indeed a very serious danger, for the places where the plants are located, Arabia had to change its projects for two sites it wanted to build for luxury resorts because the coast had become a coral cemetery and there was no it wasn't even a fish, the joy of tourists and a symbol of the uncontaminated sea. The brine released into the sea by desalination plants destroys everything and, not satisfied, continues with the currents to desertify the sea even 100 kilometers after its release. Where will Egypt dump the brine?????
It is much less difficult to build/construct on desert or arid lands. Ancient civilizations that were recorded or excavated began in this type of terrain. The gentle Nile river runs through a large desertous geography, and housed one of the great ancient civilizations. The Mayans, Aztecs, etc of South America also rise to power in more arid or desertous landscapes. China ancient kingdoms also chose to locate itself in the less fertile northern plains of Xian. Forested areas, or the geographies that include natural obstacles such as great mountains, valleys, rushing rivers, lush greenery due to preferred climates and fertile soil were ignored due to the difficulties of challenging landscapes. The Middle East was also a cradle of early civilizations due to user friendly terrain. The population of some Middle East countries remain quite much lesser, or less dense, than the other early civilizations that is now China which had expansion capabilities westward and southward and that is India which has very friendly agricultural landscapes/climates and blessed with a vast coastline as well.
The uploader doesn't know the difference between the New Valley (New Nile) project and the New Delta project. The first one is the project of diverting water from Lake Nasser north west into the Western dessert, in order to start the irrigation, and the New Delta is about expanding the delta area with the water that's is mostly being unused and flowing into the Mediterranean.

so where is all the salt going (saudi arabia) because the Red Sea isn't all that wide. Wouldn't it be better to pull the water from the Indian Ocean and having shafts that go far into the ocean to be released so it can be absorbed back into the ocean!!!
reducing dessert areas decreases the Earth's albedo, locking in more energy at the Earth's surface, and increasing surface temperatures. But, more green replacing dessert will mean more CO2 converted to oxygen, reducing a major greenhouse gas. Not sure what the overall result will be!

Wide, unshaded & cement-lined waterways sent thru miles & miles of arid, sunbaked landscape -- yeah, all that loss due to evaporation is great water management, Pakistan.
I already watched this previous video, and our country can't follow how we can develop artificial rivers spreading across provinces in the Philippines, where I'm coming from, including Metro Manila.

When the water is taken from underground in libia won't the ground cave in like massive sink holes and land slides earth quakes, ect? Btw pipelines are much much more efficient than artificial rivers as there is no leakage or evaporation. Gravity can carry the water over whole mountain ranges and the water can move hundreds of times the speed. We need to do this in the American southwest, from the Columbia or Mississippi.

Without questioning the wisdom of the planners, often times; such colossal water need arises out of monocultures that in itself is a curse 🤬. Please 🙏 do read books 📚 by Vandana Shiva to have a better understanding.
These schemes look like the opposite of sustainable. Bet people downstream on the Indus are really happy. Does the Indus rise in the Himalayas? What happens as glaciers gradually disappear and fail to feed the river at the needed rate. Looks extremely expensive presumably tying Pakistan into a huge debt. Good to use the fossil water in Libya but once it’s gone it’s gone so better have some strategy in place for then.
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.
oh, it was that same inhuman Gaddafi regime that built a giant water supply for the citizens. It was not for nothing that he was killed and everything was bombed, now at least there is a blooming garden there... Or not?
For someone trying to save water they waste a lot on this. Like open top and concrete with no trees on the sides or solar over the top 😂 talk about evaporation loss. On top of that there concerned about it absorbing into the soil you know the thing that’s also connected to the underground aquifer 😂. Then on top of that it’s for farms none of which grow native stuff so you can only imagine the amount of water needed for them. And then you got all these pumps pipes and other things including the concrete river yes at this point it’s a man made river but they all need maintenance and the pumps require ridiculous amounts of power is that green to probably not. How to get green power or pink yes pink power is a thing you can use geothermal or tide power small water batteries if you know them fantastic if not it will take to long to explain soo look em up then there nuclear power.
month, year and decade after decade, just where is all that excess SALT going to be dumped? back into the ocean?..where it will make desalinization even harder to do? or some poor and poorly governed 3rd world nation will be duped into allowing all that salt to be dumped onto their land; permanently sterilizing it to the detriment of their hapless citizens? the same way computer waste, excess old clothes and industrial waste is currently being dumped on clueless poor and poorly governed 3rd world nations.
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.
Canal construction in mountainous reaches,require taking alignment,mostly in curves or zigs,taking toll ,by way of head losses,in its course to site of irrigation.Which means loosing more command areas,as compared to one of a straighter alignment.

Built without "engineers", without technology in sight, without the industrial revolution, without the eye in the sky, without logistics or much access to prior knowledge, but with the participation of many people. There are many people today. There is much need of this many people, served/fulfilled by ordinary people and ambitious people. An 'artificial river' is a more appropriate term for the ambitious people. Rivers are natural occurrences, made by 'Nature' - but not by 'SuperNature'.
However, to improve the lives of people in need is necessary, and ethical... with or without ambition.
Proper improvements and progress in the correct path(s) is ethical, though may not be necessary at the time. It is true progress, that is without downfalls or regrets. Foresight without ambition.
@@wip1664 The first modern canal is the Bridgewater build around 1760 but this followed contours. The first canals to go directly from A to B were designed by Thomas Telford in the 1790s. Telford is regarded as the first true modern civil engineer and the inventor of what we now call project management since he was able to deliver to planned cost on time. He certainly used technology and the canal network created at this time is still in use today. Instead of writing off the top of your head take the time to first read about a subject. An ‘artificial river’ is indeed a canal.

You are a historian. I am not. But yes, prior knowledge of "things" in general that has great impact on many other things need to be considered. The Chinese built the Grand Canal many centuries ago, much more than a few.
I can only write off the top of my head since I do not know many things. But I can relate what is known.
@@wip1664 I am not an historian but l know what a canal is. It’s not difficult
To dobra inwestycja ChRL i Pakistanu do tego jeszcze dołączy Afganistan.
The Qosh Teppa ph 1 had been finished some months ago. Now, people already start harvesting the crops.
Ehy not cotton and papyrus from Egypt ibstead of wheat, why not millets?
Because Australia efficiently grows the best wheat and cotton in the world, using our own research and development. We are training poor Indian farmers how to be more efficient with water
Those are all great ideas and some are actually being used Now a pipeline from Alaska to California would be a great idea to have America say see what we can do
They should remember to make them bend and twisty….natural rivers aren’t so straight, and the areas around them could be the new Niles

All of them Artificial river will be heaven of sweet waters fish!!!
Desalination is a danger, indeed a very serious danger, for the places where the plants are located, Arabia had to change its projects for two sites it wanted to build for luxury resorts because the coast had become a coral cemetery and there was no it wasn't even a fish, the joy of tourists and a symbol of the uncontaminated sea. The brine released into the sea by desalination plants destroys everything and, not satisfied, continues with the currents to desertify the sea even 100 kilometers after its release. Where will Egypt dump the brine?????
i'm at 0:18, "artificial rivers" you are discribing a canel, lets limit this to 18 secs of vid.
Amazing engineering, especially China
It is much less difficult to build/construct on desert or arid lands.
Ancient civilizations that were recorded or excavated began in this type of terrain. The gentle Nile river runs through a large desertous geography, and housed one of the great ancient civilizations. The Mayans, Aztecs, etc of South America also rise to power in more arid or desertous landscapes. China ancient kingdoms also chose to locate itself in the less fertile northern plains of Xian. Forested areas, or the geographies that include natural obstacles such as great mountains, valleys, rushing rivers, lush greenery due to preferred climates and fertile soil were ignored due to the difficulties of challenging landscapes.
The Middle East was also a cradle of early civilizations due to user friendly terrain. The population of some Middle East countries remain quite much lesser, or less dense, than the other early civilizations that is now China which had expansion capabilities westward and southward and that is India which has very friendly agricultural landscapes/climates and blessed with a vast coastline as well.
The uploader doesn't know the difference between the New Valley (New Nile) project and the New Delta project. The first one is the project of diverting water from Lake Nasser north west into the Western dessert, in order to start the irrigation, and the New Delta is about expanding the delta area with the water that's is mostly being unused and flowing into the Mediterranean.
Regarding the Libyan aquifer, what happens when it's completely drained?
Allhamdullilah For kacchi Canal project
🇵🇰❤️💪
Good but still small

After that phase I completion
Phase 2 is 70 percent completed as well ✌️🇵🇰❤️🔥

But its too small compared to those of China and India
China has North South River inter linking project and India has world's largest River Inter linking project
Fascinating project, but what are the long-term environmental implications of such large-scale water diversion? Sustainability is key here.
Water is !
so where is all the salt going (saudi arabia) because the Red Sea isn't all that wide. Wouldn't it be better to pull the water from the Indian Ocean and having shafts that go far into the ocean to be released so it can be absorbed back into the ocean!!!
reducing dessert areas decreases the Earth's albedo, locking in more energy at the Earth's surface, and increasing surface temperatures. But, more green replacing dessert will mean more CO2 converted to oxygen, reducing a major greenhouse gas. Not sure what the overall result will be!
Incredible
16:36, if this project began in 2022, where did the Gov't. (which wasn't truly established) after the American withdrawal in April 2022 with their accounts frozen, mass starvation & upheaval from a Taliban take over. Where on earth did they acquire such massive funding when their people were starving & leading a mass exodus out of the country? In addition to all the massive fraud & corruption of the leaders (Karzai, etc.) who stole all the capital money. If anything this financial achievement is very confusing given all these factors?
I have thoughts- in irrigating the world deserts,in line with Kolound's thought.And thus the saharas could be green,&Heavens fr golbal community.
great video but try to include the Metric system more often throughout the video
The video has used the metric measurements all throughout the video. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@thecomment9489 no not at the beginning of it …
at 9:15 about the GMMR, you should have mentioned that it was damaged by coalition forces (US, France, UK, Italy). A civilian infrastructure was bombed and damaged. What a disgrace.
Wide, unshaded & cement-lined waterways sent thru miles & miles of arid, sunbaked landscape -- yeah, all that loss due to evaporation is great water management, Pakistan.
I already watched this previous video, and our country can't follow how we can develop artificial rivers spreading across provinces in the Philippines, where I'm coming from, including Metro Manila.
Wish all the best for chinese canal, and snearly success
After the completion of Qoshtapa Kanal Afghanistan will be using 14% of the Ammo river’s water. While Afghanistan suppose to use 30% of the water, therefore after the completion of Qashtapa Kannal Afghanistan should start an other Kannal from Ammo river.
Im always thinking.todays disapearimg rivers amd later reappear is maybe done by human ancessers maybe many thousands years ago and we just dont know about it?just thinking.are we have a system in our world what we dont know about anithying?
When we read Afghanistan we expect to read a bad story. This seem to be a good one.
Desalination using oil to grow "sustainable crops"? At least 1 project uses waste water 😮
There's no enough people living in the desert there to piss in the canal to bring the water levels up to counter reaction to rapis evaporation
This does not get much meaning to people not knowing distance in km and just how many US dollars makes ruples. You know we are too lazy to look it up.
He is addressing the 99% of countries (all but 2 of the about 200 countries in the world) which are familiar with the ISO system.
If you are the odd one out, then that's fine. If your national pride depends on it then you are welcome to be special.
But why should anyone else care about your whims and cater to your peculiarities?
When the water is taken from underground in libia won't the ground cave in like massive sink holes and land slides earth quakes, ect? Btw pipelines are much much more efficient than artificial rivers as there is no leakage or evaporation. Gravity can carry the water over whole mountain ranges and the water can move hundreds of times the speed. We need to do this in the American southwest, from the Columbia or Mississippi.
Were those bridges built by china
3w:24, Pakistan, I thought this country was broke, where will they get this money from & how will it improve their economy & job market?
Those countries are developing improving.i just love it.afganistan expetially.in cercamstances they do the impossible.but why they remove ghadafi in lybia.he transform entire country??? Punjab region needs help and its amazimg that they are doing it.china is today leader in ewrithing..amazing country.i just miss rest of the african countries in this kind of development.
WTH is an "aquafire"??? 😂
Is this documentary accurate? Libya and Afghanistan are currently suffering up evil political turmoil.
Why not ddrain flood water from India and Pakistan into afghanistan and iran?
i love how the narrator is mispronouncing the word "aquifer" and saying it as "aquifire"
Longwinded waffle waffle 🤦 Pity. Interesting topic and projects.
Your pronunciation of “aquifer” hurts my brain…
It's unfortunate that the important word AQUIFER is pronounced "aquifire" throughout this video.
Humans vanity quests. The Ajuran Kingdom created them but are among the poorest community on earth today. The social costs of such expeditions are too high due to our current social design.
Is anyone else triggered by the mispronunciation of “aquifer”?
👍👍
BIG PROJECT
Without questioning the wisdom of the planners, often times; such colossal water need arises out of monocultures that in itself is a curse 🤬. Please 🙏 do read books 📚 by Vandana Shiva to have a better understanding.
These schemes look like the opposite of sustainable. Bet people downstream on the Indus are really happy. Does the Indus rise in the Himalayas? What happens as glaciers gradually disappear and fail to feed the river at the needed rate. Looks extremely expensive presumably tying Pakistan into a huge debt. Good to use the fossil water in Libya but once it’s gone it’s gone so better have some strategy in place for then.
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.
oh, it was that same inhuman Gaddafi regime that built a giant water supply for the citizens.
It was not for nothing that he was killed and everything was bombed, now at least there is a blooming garden there... Or not?
I don't think it's going to work out the way they think
It’s aquifer, not aquifire. Correctly pronounced like a fir tree.
These dont momic nature at all. Perdect straight lines consisten elevations on the shoreleine. There is nothing mimicking nature at all
I wouldn’t count on the Afghanistan effort.
Its Afghanistan
Qosh tapa artificial river
The GMMcannel wil not been finished because of the insecure situation.
Damn 6th grade talk, its not a river. It's a canal
wrong information
in India 🇮🇳we have Indira gandhi canal(Rajasthan Canal)length 649KM (400 miles)
Construction began 1958
Date of first use 2005
That would make the us very angry!
For someone trying to save water they waste a lot on this.
Like open top and concrete with no trees on the sides or solar over the top 😂 talk about evaporation loss.
On top of that there concerned about it absorbing into the soil you know the thing that’s also connected to the underground aquifer 😂.
Then on top of that it’s for farms none of which grow native stuff so you can only imagine the amount of water needed for them.
And then you got all these pumps pipes and other things including the concrete river yes at this point it’s a man made river but they all need maintenance and the pumps require ridiculous amounts of power is that green to probably not.
How to get green power or pink yes pink power is a thing you can use geothermal or tide power small water batteries if you know them fantastic if not it will take to long to explain soo look em up then there nuclear power.
month, year and decade after decade, just where is all that excess SALT going to be dumped? back into the ocean?..where it will make desalinization even harder to do? or some poor and poorly governed 3rd world nation will be duped into allowing all that salt to be dumped onto their land; permanently sterilizing it to the detriment of their hapless citizens? the same way computer waste, excess old clothes and industrial waste is currently being dumped on clueless poor and poorly governed 3rd world nations.
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.
Great project - instead of wasting funds for BRI and Dubai.
Is this Jesse Watters?
They must snake around you cannot have it straight many problems otherwise
Canal construction in mountainous reaches,require taking alignment,mostly in curves or zigs,taking toll ,by way of head losses,in its course to site of irrigation.Which means loosing more command areas,as compared to one of a straighter alignment.
I have been constructing canals,resorvoirs,hydro-power houses,during my career as civil engineer@ Kargil,UT Ladakh,frm 1974-2007-2018.
Not enough research
