Human Perspective: Water Saudi water solution
- icebergs?- research from 1977
Ships towing icebergs from Antarctica- not feasible
How significant is the issue of water?
The Water ProblemNeeds Solutions
Irrigation- large scale needs for farms- manage inconsistent rain- some rivers run dry
Hydroelectric needs- consistent and clean power
Drinking water- limited freshwater supply
Modern and Ancient technology- dams and piping- underground tunnels- water wheels
Dams on Tigris and Euphrates- 8 new power plants, Turkey
Water coalitions- Israel- limited supplies, source of conflict
Various Dams on the Tigris
More Modern Practice Drip Irrigation
- pipes drip water to crops
Desalination- using ocean water to create fresh water- very expensive
Fossil Water- ancient aquifers underground- 25-30 years of water
Economic Power House: OIL Southwest Region
- ½ of the world’s reserves
One commodity economy- largest export
Uses- gas, oil, plastics, heating, fertilizers
Need for Oil Industrialization
Period- automobiles- ships
First discovered in 1908- Persia (Iran)
Iraq has large reserves- being developed since the war ended
Saudi Arabia- large oil fields, Rub al-Khalil
Transporting Oil Many pipelines
- transport to shipping ports
Multiple refineries- produce product from crude oil
Transportation to various customers- chance for oil spills
Transport Choke Points
Worldwide Oil Production
