Wonderful video which is somewhat related: https://youtu.be/twAP3buj9Og?si=muhCC08RsFzofObB



This entire thread is fantastic and a great learning opportunity. Sent me spiraling through Wikipedia pages. This video is really great too!


Agreed. Reading/watching this stuff reminded me of my experience visiting Morocco a few years ago. We travelled through the Atlas mountains and into the desert regions bordering the Sahara and then into the Sahara itself. I was struck by how everywhere we went, you could see signs of how people had tried to extract water from what appeared to be an utterly arid environment, whereas back home in Ontario, everywhere you look there is infrastructure designed to manage large amounts of it. Our biggest water-related problem is that we often have too much of it, a problem that seemed scarcely imaginable over there.


It seems the video is making rounds yet again—it was also recommended to me by the algorithm a few days ago.


This was an incredible video. Thanks for sharing!


amazing vid!
