Скачать или смотреть Saudi Arabia Pumps Billions of Liters of Seawater Into the Desert — Here’s Why

Discover how Saudi Arabia built the world's most ambitious water infrastructure system in one of Earth's driest places. This engineering marvel transforms billions of liters of seawater into fresh drinking water every single day, sustaining 37 million people through a massive steel pipeline network stretching over 14,000 kilometers across the desert.

In this documentary, we explore the complete process from manufacturing massive steel pipes to the advanced desalination technology that makes desert life possible. Learn how Saudi Arabia spends approximately $5 per cubic meter to produce water in a country where rainfall averages just 59mm annually and summer temperatures exceed 50°C.

🔍 KEY FACTS:

14,210 km of water pipeline network
5.6 million cubic meters produced daily
70% of drinking water comes from desalination
World record: 2.27 kWh/m³ energy efficiency
$3 million USD per kilometer construction cost
60 bar pressure in reverse osmosis systems
15 million liters intake capacity per 63cm pipe
This video covers the entire journey: from cutting steel plates and welding 12-meter pipe sections, to excavating trenches in solid rock, installing intake lines offshore, filtering seawater through multiple stages, applying 60 times atmospheric pressure for reverse osmosis, and finally remineralizing the water for safe consumption.

Perfect for engineering enthusiasts, technology lovers, and anyone interested in mega infrastructure projects, water technology, desalination science, or Middle Eastern development.

🌍 Saudi Arabia holds multiple Guinness World Records for its water infrastructure, including the largest potable water storage network and biggest drinking water facility. By 2030, the Kingdom aims to power desalination plants with renewable energy, making this sustainable for future generations.
