Today we explore the largest artificial rivers in the world, under construction in deserts, cities and across countries. We explore a number of these mega projects such as - The Kachi Canal project Pakistan, Great Man-Made River of Libya, Afghanistan's Kosh Tepa Canal, China's South-to-North Water Diversion Project, The artificial river of Saudia Arabia, New Delta Project OF EGYPT

    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?
  • Plants and trees must be found that can withstand the salinity of sea water so that desert countries overlooking salty seas can benefit. By planting these plants and trees as wood, oils, or fish farms with plant feed on salty water, a solution must be found to plant the desert with salty water. To transform the regions into viable areas with sea ports to revive the desert in the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa

    All countries need to make man made rivers. Egyptians were smart.
  • This project costed life of the man who engineered futuristic thinking in the desert land of Libya.

    Most fascinating of all was the homemade paddleboat at the end.😃

    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.
  • @Khyranleander
    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.
  • @yaphinchin1589
    👍 great effort...prosperity assured in near future when follow thru are regulated n managed accordingly as required. 🎉🎉 🙏🙏

    Oh Man, You use a very good optimistic supporting language, I liked your way. many only focus on defaults
  • What about diverting exess spring ice melt water that causes Rhine and other river flooding every year, via a convergence of many small pipes from the North side of the aĺps into larger pipes that follow the roads through the mountain passes to join together into one large pipe that can by gravity alone take fresh clean water all the way down Italy, then submerged further south to rise to land and irrigate north africa?
  • @Jamshedac-gf4bh
    Wow powerful learning with lots of relevant information very good work congratulations
  • @DJRenee
    1:56 They definitely need to be catching and diverting all of this flood water. Especially if it is flowing South.....
  • I am very happy for Afghanistan 🇦🇫 Qosh tepa canal ALHAMDULILLAH
  • @jontalbot1
    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).
  • @damiengitt
    great video but try to include the Metric system more often throughout the video
  • The narrators voice is the most annoying thing I’ve ever heard Find a man’s voice like somebody who’s made classic documentaries before
  • 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?!?! Of course, I'm talking about the U.S. and the West, With the help of NATO, it dictates the conditions of life of the whole world. On the other hand, Russia has enough water to Azi
