What If There Was a Flood in the Sahara Desert?

- The Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world. Located in North Africa, its area is a whopping 3.5 million square miles, which is almost the size of the whole United States! It's a scorching hot place where very few lifeforms can survive. What few people know, however, is that it hasn’t always been like that. Every 41,000 years, the Sahara turns into a savannah grassland thanks to the movement of the Earth’s axis. Its next change of landscape is going to happen 15,000 years from now. But there is an idea that can make this process not just faster but different altogether. It’s called the Sahara Sea project…

SUMMARY:
The first concept appeared in 1877 when Scottish entrepreneur Donald Mackenzie proposed to turn the El Djouf basin of the Sahara Desert into an inland sea.
The following year, two French activists, Francois Elie Roudaire and Ferdinand de Lesseps, suggested a similar idea for the Chott el Fejej, another basin in the desert.
It’s interesting that even Jules Verne was fascinated by the idea of creating a sea inside the world’s greatest desert. He wrote two adventure novels in 1877 and 1905 that dwelled on the matter and referred directly to Roudaire and de Lesseps’s plans.
The first of the attempts to return to this issue was made in 1910 by French professor Edmund Etchegoyen. He was sure that an inland sea inside the Sahara would improve the climate in Europe.
The Sahara Sea project’s second comeback was called on by members of Operation Plowshare. They proposed to blow up several explosives in the middle of the desert to create a basin that would then fill with water.
There have been several initiatives in the 21st century, but the most promising one is called “The Sea in the Desert”. Its idea is to flood Chott El Jerid, one of the shallow salt lakes in southern Tunisia.
Tunisia has a really high unemployment rate, and such a gigantic project would make the country’s economy skyrocket by providing jobs for approximately 60,000 people.
The humid climate around the artificial sea would allow locals to farm the lands all year long, making a huge impact on the economy of the country.
The Sea in the Desert project suggests there will be alternative energy generators installed after the main job is done.

Hey guys, would you rather spend 3 days in a Desert or in frozen Antarctica?
I would spend my days in desert
Desert
Desert
None xd
But.. yea antarctica
I live in desert so I would try Antarctica
You're never gonna believe this...
I WAS ABT TO SAY
hahaha this is perfect
Called it
And we are here
yeah
This has aged well
fr
yup
Right
Exactly
😂😂
Hey so this is gonna sound wild…
😂😂
😂😂
I live near this area and another pro to the project is the sea in the desert will help to reduce sea level rise worldwide.
yes, just do it, at least world seawater level will drop
for drop 3cm??
Millimeters not centimeters.
o
Sahara sea project sounds like an amazing idea 💡👌
Investing Hustler it isn’t god made it scorching hot for a reason but people still don’t know
But what about the animals and plants that live in the desert? I know not much things live there... But this will destroy ecosystems
Yeah

How can saltwater be beneficial for farming?Unless they can turn all that seawater into freshwater right away, it'll take 100 years before you can see any benefits.
I know no one will read this, but if a single person read this, it would make my day💙May god bless you and make all of your dreams and wishes cone true, have a great week! I work my hardest to become a big UA-camr💙I know same doesn't happen over night 💙 wish me lucl😘
Amen, may God bless you and may your dreams come true💙💙.

Luck has been wished
Good luck
The Sahara was once a sea,ancient whale bones found in the sand.
The Sahara was once green and was populated.
no. this is the evidence of the world wide flood.
@@catharinabellekom2013 From the bible?
@@DarthVantos yes from 9000 years ago. look at a map of africa, on ggole maps and you can see the lines of fast moving water receding back into the ocean, you will also see the eye of the sahara aka Atlantis
Catharina Bellekom,
Yes! I agree
The green Sahara wasn’t that long ago but the ocean bones was much longer ago

The Sahara desert definitely needs more water 💧
Yes I do I’m really thirsty
Yup!
God made it scorching hot for a reason god never makes mistakes
Nah it some milk!

Listen the sand of the sahara desert flys with the air and get settled in amazon rain forest and fertiles it
Amogh Toshniwal is true. I live in South America close to the Amazon and I saw the sand coming in to land looking exactly like Sahara desert sand.
Also provides iron for planktion growth
@Desmond Bagley Why are lying the sands only travels at night.
It also helps El Yunque in Puerto Rico too...
and?
One way to attempt growing plants in the desert could involve planting them in the space between two walls. One facing eastward, one facing westward. When the sun rises in the east, the wall would provide shade for the plants, so that its soil would only have direct sun exposure at noon, then as it moves westward, the second wall would provide shade starting at about 3-4 pm. This shade would cut down on evaporation of the water of the soil where the plants are planted.
I like this- and am surprised they don't even mention the positive effect on ameliorating rising sea levels.
To me the beneficial effect on Africa would just be a nice side-effect to the necessary attempt to lower sea level.
it will have minimal effect on sea level, the volume of water in oceans is orders of magnitude higher than any low lands it's going to fill inside the sahara
@@zazugee Yep. People are incredibly bad at math. It's an easy calculation.
Sahara is ~9mil km2. Oceans cover about 360mil km2. That's a ratio of 1:40. So you'd have to flood the ENTIRE Sahara with 40m of water to lower ocean levels 1m. Flooding a lake 2-3% the size of the Sahara isn't going to do anything.
Meanwhile, The Antarctic landmass is ~14mil km2 and covered with an average of 2000m of ice... so even flooding the Sahara with 40m would only use up 2% of that ice sheet.
@@RandomPlaceHolderName wow, i didn't know antartica was larger than the sahara
love the idea, i think it's also maybe reduce the risk of Sea Level raising :-D
John Peric with evaporation there would be a continuous flow through the channel that feeds this inland sea. The rain fall on the desert could over time make a grassland and farm areas. Even a drop of a few millimeters in sea level will help if this small scale worked maybe other countries would also try in their areas. Still a lot of could be and maybe with this. Not sure how this would affect climate over all. If we never try will never know.
sho anna hmmmm..........
Good and bad idea!
MAYBE not trying to be rude
Exactly it will reduce the sea level raising greatly.
Flooding the desert might also have a positive effect on sea level rise.
lol
This is the video, to my questions that I have been thinking 4 more than couple of years. 👍 Really helpful...
Would also be a nice way to counter the rising sea levels!
If rising sea levels was actually an issue, these type projects would have already been started
@@LeroyBrown Well they starting now
@@LeroyBrown what makes you think rising sea level isn't an issue!? There are companies building properties that can float in floods, floating Bridges and so on 🤔
Early Squad!That video is nice!

"Why is the intro music so intense"

Ahahahahaha sameesss...
My hope is that someday, these projects happen, not only so north Africa becomes habitable and hospitable, but it would also lower the temperatures across a massive region while lowering sea levels a bit.
Nice video as always!
I love this idea. I wonder if having a body of water in the Sahara would lessen or intensify the formation of hurricanes in the Atlantic.
It would intensify hurricane formations due to a marginal reduction in saharan dust, which diminishes hurricane formation.
Great idea- if it goes the way it says ; but many times never happens .
The government could exploit the workers and fill their coffers
FYI the Salton Sea was a failure and is wreaking havoc in California today.
It would have been solved if the was a proper canal but California's government did not choose any solution yet.
Salton Sea would have worked out fine if there was better infrastructure around the whole project.
@@indigoism6089 the salton sea was actually formed by accident.
@@james_the_darklord
I am mainly talking about the town around the Salton Sea, not the body of water itself.
@@indigoism6089 the town came to being when the salton sea formed. It was a resort town dubbed the reviera of America.
Sahara sea project sound amazing just imagine 😍😍
Personally, I'd mostly like humanity to stop messing with nature just because they can't change their consumption habits.
Interesting idea, Nafisa. But what do you propose instead. Tunisia is a country with several million below the poverty line. Do you propose they all look for jobs in Europe? A person who is hungry and unemployed will almost never consider the environment. How would you change the situation to make it sustainable?
The Salton Sea is one of the greatest engineering blunders in American history, and a perfect example of how this would end up being the same type of ecological disaster.
Can i find article about it?
Yes the Salton sea is an ecological disaster, but these proposed inland seas have a feature that the Salton doesn't. A canal connecting them to the wider ocean. As long as it's made wide enough an inland sea can refresh its own water supply.
Because USA dumped chemicals (round up ) in that sea
That is only because there's not a permanent Canal refilling it
Wrong, there has been a lake in the Salton Basin in the past-it died up around 1600 AD. Today, you can see the ancient shoreline on the surrounding mountains. The problem today is that sewage and farm runoff has polluted the lake, It could be saved if a canal was built (to the Gulf of Mexico) to bring in seawater. The Sea could be a great resource (fishing, resorts) if it is handled properly..but we prefer to build $18 billion aircraft carriers for imaginary wars that will never be fought.
What if we are surprised with some really bad side effects?
For now, stopping desert progression or reclaiming part back with Baobab trees might be safer and still provide poor communities with fruit tree revenues.
its a desert keep it to be what it actually is

Does anyone else think messing with mother nature is a bad idea ?
I think it's a terrible idea and the consequences could be huge
Royston Mohamed. Of course, bad idea, as always...
??? Fracking and using fossils fuels is messing with mother nature. Where have you been for the past 100 years?
Yep also alternate energy sources like turbines are having much worse impact to the environment from burning petroleum
Also According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), public and private actors spent $1.1 trillion on solar and over $900 billion on wind between 2007 and 2016.
Global investment in solar and wind hovered at around $300 billion per yearbetween 2010 and 2016.
Looks like someone was too obssessed with watching Aquaman😩😌 😂😂
".....Before the Sahara was a desert...."
Hey so this is going to sound crazy...
Very good. You can create many seas inside that vast desert. Coconut trees and forest will flourish there. Perfect destination during ice age period.
This is the best channel
BYE THEY LITERALLY PREDICTED IT
✔️
Eagerly waiting to see this !!!! 😍
Watching this video like ‘ Y didn’t I think about this before ? ‘
Love your vids
The end is near, when a desert become a savanna
If by near you mean 15 thousand years from now you are spot-on
nah poliicians are so Dirty they won"t do this
That sounds like some Muslim fear-mongering
The end of a desert, yes.
Yup The End Is Near 😨😨
Wow awesome video 😛
Plot twist : there was a flood before like one million years ago.
Ohh thank you I forgot about that
lovely idea i think :) i wanna be there when this massive project start
I thought Egypt wanted to flood the quattara Deoression ? (200' below sea level).
Love your vids Bright Side
Resort in front of a beautiful Sea and a scorching sun? Count me in!
Wonderful topic to choose from
History is the witness that whenever we have tried to change something natural the consequences have always been disastrous.
Lies
Elaborate
I agree but not completely cause it's not always that disasters get created ,like dams stopped disasters .well ,I know what you mean ,I highly expect a new disease at least as result of their sea in dessert ideas
True .
@@raiz9470 dams have stopped floods but the same dam has destroyed habitats of many animals and fishes Earth is for everyone not only for humans.
This taught me a lot about myself
If I had a chance, I'd love to visit a sea in the middle of the Sahara desert!
Awesome explanation team , thumbs up
Hi nice video

The Salton Sea is now one big ecological disaster that they don't know how to fix. You should do a video on that. Fascination story and history.
by now i have heard your voice many times , , trying to remember where from , , what other channel ?????????????????????????
Cool, I really enjoyed. ;)
This is awesome!!! I would love to go there.
I was thinking one gigantic quicksand sea but the swamp idea is interesting too.
Oceans are desserts in and of themselves. I dont see how a dessert in the middle of a dessert will make a paradise
what the f did i just read?
For People, who say: " don't Interrupt the nature" here what I have to say--rising sea level will swallow so many waterfront cities, that this might be one of the few projects, that might save this from happening. It's the easiest thing to say---don't do anything, but yet again we all drive cars and use all the dirty energy supply, so we are already doing harm, there is no perfect solution for anything, but filling up deserts with water will reverse the rising sea level. This is the future and we will be doing it regardless, I just don't want us to start late.
Bro called it
the Background Scores are awesome
Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower switched places 😂
Nice video
I love how the title is like 2019 and “soon” 😂
Im Tunisian And I Like That Idea Hopefully It Will Happen Soon

Wow cool idea
When do the work get start? Could i work there?
That background music reminds me of a dubai type palm island in sahara desert in coming future 😍
Better fill up the ARAL Sea again, the 'nearly' disappearance of that sea is an ecological disaster for that area and also affects local weather. REFILL the ARAL !

Dont worry, it happened
it was gru
Here is a fun fact. Most Tunisians don't live in the desert, but rather living in the lush green Mediterranean, and mountainous forest landscapes of Tunisia, this is why most Tunisians have never even seen a camel in real life, nor even sat foot in the desert of southern Tunisia.
Bright side can tell the future or something 😂
I love this idea. Wish this project turns into reality and sucess!
Same here, and think about doing something similar to American deserts. I would love a sea in Arizona (I live there). (Jan Griffiths).
So uhhh yeah this happened…
When I was young I wonder, how does the sun get through the land. Nice project to be!
Yesterday Sahara desert flooded at Morocco..
Yep
Guys im gonna hold your hand when i say this...
You name it as long as it starts with f. LOL
The Sahara sea project might ruin the Sahara desert and if it does go on and the Sahara turns into a Savanha or a deadly marsh, you can add this place to top ten natural places humans ruined (in fifty years time).Good video though
You clearly are a glass full kinda guy.
Its weird how we started learning about the Sahara desert and the next day this video was made
