- Liwa Oasis, the historical birthplace of Abu Dhabi's ruling families, is undergoing significant transformation. Lettuces are now being grown here, on the desert's doorstep, and the local palm groves produce some of the best-known dates in the world.
Never before have these landscapes been so lush.
During the long and tumultuous history of this extraordinary place, man and water have forged a unique bond, bringing life to the midst of the desert.

No matter where in the world it always seems like the older generations worked so much harder than the present generation.
Very true
To the Lady, ladies, of the land... I give u love and thanks for been strong and powerful women, which believed on her man, and made happening together.
Thank u. You guys ROCK.
Keep up all the good work shown here John Uk
Masham Allah very hard work very good reward 👍 very beautiful
❤❤❤
These arabians... They r everywhere but in the desert.
Thats awesome... And their satellite... They high intelligence.
It all came from their ancestors staring at the stars and they became VISIONARIES WITH MANIFESTATIONS UNTIL THE FUTURE NOW.
these ppl are blessed.
So... They already have the pvc tubes..... Kkkkk... Im Watching in "parts" to pay attention and deal with my responsibilities of my ; HERE, NOW.
THERE. NOW.
IN BETWEEN.... & BEYOND.
God bless.
Im with the dr from Jordan which came up to "prove" that im smart and its been done by her degrees.
Blessed be. You ROCK in a man's world, girl.
Living in such a hot place and still no sweat on their faces.Wow
I congratulate the grandpa of the Sheikh for been a faithful man of GOD.
Its even prophetic how the Lord showed him the way of BELIEVE as much as Becca is the paradise of Mohammed, their prophet.
Its impressive how another man using his Faith of been a visionary and obedient child of the LORD followed HIS instructions as a believer.
Im glad, the grandchildren, r seeking tp growth. BRAVOS.
And i also think ALOE-VERA=BABOSA are good to try.
They can be used as medication, juices, cosmetics...
I watched a documentary saying that the biggest amd better aloe Vera plants r from Chile... Where the lands r been taken care of shamanic natives...
Anyways... Congratulations bkz the Lord is just giving the visions of better future FOREVER and MORE, to those who r faithful and open their eyes to see.
Amen.
For the always and FOREVER our Lord will be praised.
Do u know that in Ecuador, has an area that is the only place on 🌎 which the water goes down on reversing side?!?
Are they monitoring their aquifer? Are its levels sustainable/regenerative? Curious. The area is beautiful. The increase in bird populations seen, the plant diversity!
[never mind 24:34 I see you are addressing the water issue].
14:13 what happened to falconry hunting and of course those beautiful Arabian horses?🐴 🦅🐫 dates literally taste like candy 🍬 the USA is having 2 flushes of cicadas- what roasting recipes does the Arabian Cooking Channel have?
The old joke is that in these deserts, water costs more than oil!
Love the eyes of this man😂😂😂
About insects, which, Glory to LORD the plantations r free of it... Alli know is that usually insects dont like spicy... Maybe cloves tea been sprinkled once a day, if it doenst change the flavors of the dates, it may be help.
I think they need lots of water for the desert to grow somthing,the desert can be dangerous death by no water and heat.
They need more interplanting. Biome-appropriate, alley cropped trees, in rows shared with vines, and shrubs alternatjng with rows of annual and perennials will help conserve surface water. Soil is well protected and the soil biome creates optimal permeability and fertility. It reduces the need for pesticides, herbicides, irrigation, builds carbon and natural fertility, etc.
Avoiding disturbing the soil thru plowing is important.
Adding rainwater harvesting earthworks is important as well to quickly protect water from direct evaporation and to recharge aquifers instead of relying on "antique water."
The other leg of better agricultural practices uses livestock to manage weeds, pests and additional fertility. They must avoid overgrazing as it exposes soil/dirt to solarization...
Synthetic chemical inputs add a lot of salt, so relying on interplanting to enhance fertility instead is important.
Desalination is limited, it requires ongoing energy and technical knowledge, outside materials to sustain it,
It is best reserved as an occasional buffer.
Greenhouses are a mirage regarding viability. They increase heat, they are still using synthetic chemical inputs and pumped water. Shading nets are a better option while plants establish.
Agree - shading nets, interplanting to decrease evaporation.

Rainwater Harvesting earthworks are important as well. Soil surfaces become overly hard and impermeable to water, soil, life so opening the surface with frequent, small bunds, planting pits, swales, etc creates opportunity for water to infiltrate instead of being lost to direct evaporation or worse as erosive runoff.
Bare ground loses permeability. Plowing contributes to the soil surface hardening and becoming dead. We need a multi-prong approach. A cocktail fork is too little...
@@b_uppy 😂 💥 well said!! A cocktail fork is too small!

Lol, 👍👍👍
Charcoal and clay doesn't filters the water keeping it without the sodium?
Maybe a tank with some "camadas" of it to purify the water feom sodium.
Havent u tried the pvc tubes which can go all around the palm trees and besides watering them all the time... The pvc water tubes with some wholes on the bottom could make the soil watering and the plam trees would have the water from their roots to leaves... Now... About the leaves getting greener... 2 times per day where the sun comes stronger water from above, so... Soil wet amd leaves refreshed 2 times per day, they will resist to our climate changes even MORE.
Even drones, u gotta go with faster technology, can carry water and sprinkles it faster to all around the plantation.
* im sorry... Im trying solutions while I'm seeing the NEEDS for now.
God blessed there and blessed is indeed.
Amen. Glory to Lord.
AHAMDULILIAH.
Reflective pale green “shade-cloth” is a really good way to reflect away the heat. Sprinkling leaves w/water in the heat of the day the water droplets act like magnifying glasses, burning the leaves where the drops land.
Unfortunately, water will always be a problem in the dessert. Thats why historically the Emirates could never support major civilizations. Hopefully the water issue does not lead to eventual collapse of these economies after the oil money runs dry.
Amazing use of their money for good purpose
This is another proof alive in this 🌎 where GOD using lightworkers, called his black sheep children bkz none of us is perfect, works through our intelligence and care to make the impossible, POSSIBLE.
THANK YOU & THANKS TO ALLAH, OUR LORD. OUR GOD.
Understand, to those well blessed, much is expected. The Plutocratic superiority that you enjoy is contrary to God's directives. Consult your elders.
To many adds spol it
I guess that's whay, disonering money, makes everything less valuable, including the hard work of all humanity.
he is so handsome
