The agricultural sector in Saudi Arabia is quickly growing. Surface water at the Arabian peninsula, however, is very scarce, necessitating innovative solutions to collect sufficient water in other ways.
This Proba-V 100 m image of southern Saudi Arabia, acquired on 9 November 2014, nicely shows how irrigation is applied in the Arabian desert.
The bright green spots visible on the image are centre pivot irrigation fields. Here, water is drained from fossil reservoirs to ensure sufficient water for agricultural activities. The water is mined from depths down to 1 km, pumped to the surface, and then further distributed to the irrigation fields.
