Wadi As-Sirhan Basin, Saudi Arabia, 1984 and 2022, satellite image
Colour satellite image of the Wadi As-Sirhan Basin, Saudi Arabia in 1984 and 2022, showing how agricultural activity has developed in the midst of a barren desert. The fields are irrigated by water pumped from underground aquifers. That water is distributed in rotation about a centre point within a circular field, a technique known as centre-pivot agriculture., by PLANETOBSERVER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
