Can you imagine a living country without water? But there is a country in the world where there is neither any river nor any lake, and people still survive.
The land here is sandy, due to which there will be no trace of water here. Although Saudi Arabia has definitely got oil in large quantities. Because of this the country is also rich, but there is a huge shortage of water here. There is a water well, but there is no water in it. There is gold in the country, but there is not even a trace of water. Now the question of the people is how do the people here get water and where does it come from. So let’s answer your question and when you go there, do not waste water.
Only one percent of the land in Saudi Arabia is cultivated, and even in that, only a few vegetables are grown. The reason for this is the huge amount of water required to grow crops like rice and wheat. Although wheat cultivation was once started here, it had to be stopped due to lack of water. Saudi Arabia has to import all its food items from abroad.
Saudi Arabia now has very little underground water left and that too is very deep. It is said that in the coming few years, that too will be completely finished. According to a report, earlier there were many water wells here, which were being used for thousands of years, but due to the increase in population, the use of underground water also increased, the result of which was that gradually the depth of the wells increased and in a few years the wells dried up completely.
The most important thing is that it rains here only for one or two days in a year. In such a situation, it is not possible to store that water and neither can it replenish underground water. The other way is the sea, whose water is made drinkable, although the amount of salt in sea water is high. Therefore, salt is separated from water through desalination and only then it becomes drinkable.
Apart from Saudi Arabia, there are many other countries where there is no trace of rivers. These include countries like Comoros, Libya, Monaco, Vatican City, Oman where there are no rivers. In these countries, drinking water is arranged by desalinating sea water.
If Saudi Arabia is very cheap in terms of oil, then on the other hand everything from shopping to living here is very expensive. If we talk about visa for visiting here, then e-visa is valid for one year, while multiple visa entry is also available here, with this you can stay in the country for 90 days.
