Those countries of the world where not a single river flows, yet the thirst of crores of people is quenched like this; Learn interesting techniques

Countries Without Rivers or Lakes: The contribution of rivers has been mainly important in the history of human civilization. Since ancient times, settlements were located on the banks of rivers because rivers were the main source of water, food as well as transportation, but do you know that there are some countries in the world where there are not even any rivers. These countries have overcome their geographical challenges and have taken the help of modern technology to meet their water needs.

The world’s largest country without rivers

Saudi Arabia is the largest country in the world by area which does not have any permanent river. The vast desert landscape here is called ‘Wadi’ (Wadis) These are dry river beds that fill only during rare rains and then soon dry up. To quench its thirst the country mainly depends on ancient groundwater reserves.

What is the technology of UAE and Qatar?

Like Saudi Arabia, there are no rivers in UAE too. Due to the extremely dry climate and increasing urbanization, water shortage is a major challenge. To deal with this, countries like UAE and Qatar are using the world’s most advanced ‘desalination’ That is, we use plants that sweeten sea water. Qatar lacks fresh water streams or lakes, so the population’s needs are met through efficient distribution systems.

Difficult to get water in Kuwait and Bahrain

There is no trace of rivers or permanent water streams in Kuwait either. The temperature here is so high that it is very difficult to get fresh water naturally. At the same time, Bahrain once had natural springs of fresh water under the sea. Due to which it was very helpful in farming but due to excessive water consumption, it has also dried up. Now both these countries are dependent on desalination and import of fresh water.

Unique management of Oman and Maldives

There are no permanent rivers in Oman but there are ‘wais’ They are filled with water during monsoon. The people of Oman ‘Aflaj’ They distribute this seasonal water through their traditional irrigation system. At the same time, in an island country like Maldives, there is no height for the rivers. Here rain water seeps into the ground and forms &8216;fresh water lenses&8217; Which is preserved with great care.

Are there no rivers in Europe too?

Malta is a country in Europe where there are no rivers. Only small streams appear after the rains which dry up in no time. The limestone soil here absorbs water, so groundwater and desalination are the main sources here. All these countries prove that despite difficult geographical conditions, life is possible through innovation and management.
