Rain is more precious than oil. What is the most luxurious tourist country in Asia?
Although Dubai is near the sea, it has always been short of fresh water and is an extremely dry place. According to statistics, the average precipitation in the whole UAE is less than 100 mm, so it is very difficult to survive in such a place under normal circumstances.
The United Arab Emirates is fortunate, with abundant oil reserves and excellent tourism resources, which makes this country among the emerging economic powers in the world.
Today, the desalination technology in UAE is developing well. But fresh water is still very expensive in this country, and its value is even higher than that of oil.
Whether it is Dubai, the first tourist city, or other Emirates in the United Arab Emirates, except for the offshore part, almost all urban areas are surrounded by desert. If we rely on natural conditions, it is difficult to grow plants on the ground. However, in the urban areas of cities such as Dubai, green trees and gardens can be seen everywhere, and tourists even feel like a rainforest country.
The greening of Dubai is similar to that of a garden city, but it is actually a pile of money. Because there is little rainfall here and there is no natural river, the local water source is led to the garden or other places with vegetation through the water diversion pipeline, and the water resources are irrigated to the roots of plants through drip irrigation technology. This irrigation method not only improves the absorption capacity of vegetation, but also effectively prevents water evaporation and loose soil, which greatly saves the cost.
In Dubai, only families with better conditions have big gardens. Even if ordinary people plant flowers and trees in their own yards, the number will not be many. After all, the cost of managing gardens is too high.
Although Dubai's oil resources have been exhausted, there is a big brother Abu Dhabi behind it, and because of the relatively developed tourism industry, the local people are generally rich. I believe the greening rate will continue to increase in the future.
