Saudi Arabia is extremely rich and full of deserts, so why not clean up the desert?

Saudi Arabia is located in the Middle East, with a tropical desert climate. So it's very difficult to manage the desert. The deserts of Saudi Arabia are rich in mineral resources.

Because it is very difficult to control the desert and requires a huge amount of capital investment, it is not necessary to control the desert.

Because Saudi Arabia itself has a tropical desert climate, the climate cannot be changed, and it is useless to manage the desert.

Saudi Arabia has a large land area, but the population is not large, the population is concentrated, which is convenient for national management. The environment in the Middle East is not very peaceful, and the desert can be used as a barrier and a strategic buffer place, which is beneficial to national defense and security. Saudi Arabia sells oil, has money in its hands, the well-being of the people is high, the country has a sense of superiority and cohesion, the desert is difficult to govern, and the sound of throwing money cannot be heard, and Saudi Arabia attaches very little importance to this aspect.

In addition, this has something to do with culture, the merit is in the contemporary, the benefit is in the future, and the understanding and thinking of the Saudis are different from ours!

Because they don't want to waste money on such meaningless things, and the investment cost is huge, they won't do it.

It is very difficult to control the desert because it is formed by the natural environment, and even if you have money, you can't restore it, so if you want to restore the desert, it has nothing to do with money.

Hello dear <>

Desert management is a means of ecological restoration and environmental protection, aiming to improve the productivity and quality of the ecological environment in desert areas, so that deserts can be turned into fertile land. However, in recent years, some experts and environmentalists have begun to rethink desert management, believing that it is not the best way to solve the problem of desertification. First, desert management requires a lot of investment and time, and it can take decades or centuries to see results.

And in the process, the money and resources invested may far outweigh the benefits of governance. Secondly, desert management may adversely affect the local ecological environment and ecological balance. Some desert plants and animals are special species adapted to the desert environment, and their survival and reproduction need to adapt to the conditions and laws of the desert environment.

Desert management may disrupt this ecological balance, leading to the extinction of some species and the destruction of ecological environments. As a result, some experts and environmentalists are now advocating a more integrated and sustainable approach to tackling desertification. For example, the development of water-saving agriculture, the promotion of desert tourism, and the protection of the desert ecological environment can all meet the local economic and social needs while protecting the ecological environment.

I wish you a happy life! Hope mine is helpful to you ha<>

The reason why there is a population of more than 30 million is mainly because the local development is really good, and although it is a desert, they are also doing this greening.

There are more than 30 million people, mainly because of this part of Saudi Arabia, which has very good oil resources, and on the other hand, they don't have contraception, anyway, they are rich.

On the one hand, it shows that the people there have adapted to such an environment, and on the other hand, it shows that the desert has the value of the desert.

Of course, it's because there are a lot of outsiders, and they all want to come to pan for gold.

Saudi Arabia is polygamous, and the areas outside the desert and the coastal areas are relatively rich, so the population is naturally larger!!

Because they have oil, and the foreign population makes up a large part of it.

Because the people there don't do the so-called contraception at all.

Saudi Arabia practices polygamy and is very rich in oil resources.

That's because their country has long adapted to such an environment.

That's because their family planning policy is not like ours.

We all know that the diameter of the earth is about 12,756 kilometers, and the surface area of the earth is about 100 million square kilometers through the formula for calculating the sphere area (s=4 r or d), and the earth is a "water ball" that accounts for a large proportion of the ocean area, and the ocean area and land area occupy 70% and 30% of the total surface area respectively, which is often said to be seven points of water and three points of land, that is, the ocean area is about 100 million square kilometers and the land area is about 100 million square kilometers.

On the relatively limited 30% of the earth's surface, the arid and semi-arid area has reached about 48 million square kilometers, basically accounting for 1 3 of the total land area, of which the desert area is about 32 million square kilometers, accounting for about 1 5 of the total land area. Taking China as an example, only the total area of the Gobi and desert (desert) in the northwest is as high as 1.28 million square kilometers (of which the total area of the eight deserts is close to 500,000 square kilometers), accounting for about 1 7 of China's total land area, and if you add the desertified land in other regions, China's desertified land area is about 2.61 million square kilometers, accounting for about 1 4 of China's total land area.

It is worth noting that the distribution of deserts on the earth is relatively regular, and it is mainly determined by climate, and the irrational activities of human beings have exacerbated the degradation of grasslands and the process of desertification. From the perspective of the distribution of deserts in the world, they are mainly distributed in the zone through the Tropic of Cancer (near the subtropical high pressure zone) and the places in the continent that are weakly affected by ocean water vapor and have cold currents and offshore winds, such as the Sahara Desert, the Australian Desert, the Taklamakan Desert, the Atacama Desert, etc., which are directly related to the geographical location.

Normally, the fundamental reason for the formation of deserts in the natural state is that rainfall is scarce, the climate is dry, and the evaporation is vigorous, like this kind of naturally formed desert is difficult to govern, or it takes huge manpower, material and financial resources to be improved, which belongs to a kind of "man wins the day" behavior, and will also lead to the destruction of other ecological environments, such as the most fundamental thing to solve the problem of water sources, we take "Tibetan water into Xinjiang" as an example, even if the water of the Brahmaputra River flows into the southern Xinjiang basin, However, due to the decrease in the discharge volume of the river, it will have a great impact on India and Bangladesh downstream.

Because land degradation leads to desertification, reduced biodiversity, and insufficient soil nutrients, desert management is very difficult and slow to achieve.

Deserts are a geological feature, but they are a combination of drought and soil erosion. It is difficult for humans to govern because the desert climate is very solid, and there is a lack of water, so it is difficult to govern.

The existence of things in the world is reasonable, of course, it has its meaning of existence, because the desert area is very wide, and the location of the water source is too far, so it is much more difficult for human beings to manage the desert.

Saudi Arabia is an "oil kingdom", its oil reserves and production are the world's first, and the cost of Saudi Arabia's oil is very low, so Saudi oil has a great voice in the world. In recent years, the importance of oil has been well known to the Chinese people, and oil ** often goes on a roller coaster, so many people think that oil-rich countries are "local tyrants" and the richest countries, is this really the case? The real answer, no!

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has a GDP of 644.9 billion in 2016, 688.5 billion in 2017, 786.5 billion in 2018, and 792.9 billion in 2019, while China's GDP exceeds 100 trillion yuan.

Since 2011, Saudi Arabia's GDP has accounted for more than 9 thousandths of the world's GDP, but it has been less than 1% of the world's GDP, while China accounts for 17% of the world's total GDP. From this series of data comparison, we can know that although Saudi Arabia is very rich, it is definitely not a "local tyrant", at least in front of China, he is not a "local tyrant". Saudi Arabia has a population of about 34 million, and its average GDP is about $20,000.

From the perspective of per capita GDP, Saudi Arabia is still stronger than China, but the total amount of Saudi Arabia's economy is not high, so from the perspective of whether it is a rich person, Saudi Arabia is not a rich man.

Desert management is a big project, and it is an absolute technical work, there are many ways to control the desert, the key depends on the function, different regions, there are different treatment methods. At present, the most effective method of desertification control in Saudi Arabia should be to use water to control desertification, that is, to desalinate seawater and introduce it into the desert, which can help to plant plants and eventually form an oasis, thereby changing the basic conditions of desert areas. However, this method of desert management requires a large investment, long-term investment, and a lot of basic technology, and Saudi Arabia does not have a real accumulation and method in these aspects.

Saudi Arabia's total economic output is not high, and the gap between the rich and the poor is actually relatively large, so we have engaged in a south-to-north water diversion project, which has taken 20 years and invested nearly 60 billion US dollars before it was completely completed, and more than 60 billion US dollars is equivalent to a country like Saudi Arabia, which is equivalent to the people of the whole country preparing to eat sand for a year, and they cannot afford to invest at all.

Saudi Arabia's desert area is indeed very large, but Saudi Arabia's population is not large, only more than 30 million people, his non-desert area, is enough to feed these people, there is no need to make a big move to raise some oases, after all, the cost of water sand control is quite high, and it requires many years of investment, and the return on investment is still difficult to see, so Saudi Arabia has no intention of engaging in this kind of project. In fact, many countries that seem to be rich are poor countries compared to China, such as Sweden with a GDP of 550 billion, Belgium with 536 billion, Austria with 450 billion, and Israel with 365 billion.

Because the management of deserts cannot be solved by money, it is particularly complicated to consider factors such as ecological environment, ecological chain and so on.

Saudi Arabia's desert is a mobile desert, which constantly changes its position every year with the raging winds, and it is not a fixed desert at all, but it is not so easy to govern.

Because the geographical environment of Saudi Arabia is perennial drought and water shortage, it will cause a steady stream of deserts to appear, which is an environment that money cannot change, even if new desert areas will appear just after governance, it will only waste money and have no effect.

Due to climatic reasons, Saudi Arabia is an extremely water-scarce country, with every river and lake with surface water all year round; Groundwater has also been exploited, but it is not sustainable; Desert management is harder than you think, costly and time-consuming.

Saudi Arabia has money, but their thinking is not advanced enough, and their rich people are selfish, all for their own selfish desires, and will not pay attention to the impact of desertification.

Because the desert is a difficult place to govern, the environment is harsh, uninhabited, and it is difficult to govern.

Because it is the geology of the desert, it costs a lot of money to manage it, and many of them are technically unattainable.

In fact, Saudi Arabia is only rich in the royal family, and the common people are not doing well, and their country is not developing well, so how can they govern the desert?
