Greening the Desert using Ocean Water - Mashallah

[AbdiWahab252]

All it takes is pure sea water, commitment from the locals and input from technical experts. Mashallah ! Worth the 17 minutes to watch.

Caqliga waa in sidaa looga shaqaysiiyaa

[AbdiWahab252]

Rightwing,

Wallahi, Berbera, Bosaaso, Djibouti can all be greened quite easily.

[SultanOrder]

Amazing!

I don't think so. since somalis are known to be lazy and useless, we cannot do such project.

[AbdiWahab252]

Rightwing,

No, with the right incentives and disincentives, the Somalis will be just as capable.

I looked into this project a few years ago, from what I could make out it failed and is no longer running.

It didn’t fail, it worked wonders. But due to political and security nature of Eritrea they had to leave

Stop the charcoal trade and replant trees to prevent desertification.

[kambuli]

Tol beeley, tol beeley...

We are cutting down all our trees...just look at this picture and read the article..4 million sacs of charcoal! Can you imagine how many trees were cut down for these 4 million sacs? I read somewhere something more than that which was sitting in the port of Merka some time ago..

Xaggey joogaan Somalida shaqada oggol? A friend was telling me, for some regions a family of three they have 3 Ethiopian workers...One is the a guard, a maid and one that does a little orchard at the house...We are a nation of lazy people...Haddaad gun maqasho waa Somaalida...Gun fowqal gun ...Maxaa Ilaahay nimco dul dhigey, all they are good is kill each other, envy each other, gossip each other

[original dervish]

aint it great being Somali eh?

[AbdiWahab252]

Kambuli,

You are making a sweeping generalization. I visited my relatives in Mudug who wallahi amazed me. They raise goats, sheep and also do small subsitenance farming of digir, watermelons, sorghum, tomatoes, onions off their small plots during the rainy season. These people work very hard from 5am to late at night. The only thing that they are lacking are modern farming techniques, appliances and veterninary care. If you don't work, you don't eat.

There are millons of SOmalis just like them who work very hard raising livestock, farming, and fishing. They live off their land and only need expertise, equipment and funds to boost production.

The people you are referring to are middle and upper class Somalis who can afford help not the rural ones who can't.

Yes, this can be done. Entire ecosystems have been restored in the States using something like this, but never heard of it being done with agriculture on this scale. My only question is when applied directly to agriculture, what are the effects on the water table on the dangers of using untreated seawater?

Environmental Science. Wish I had gone that route.
