The Greening of the Deserts
Another technological development pointing
to the abundance available during the End
Times is the greening of the deserts. If
we consider that 43 percent of the Earth's
land surface is comprised of deserts, then
we can easier understand the importance
of agricultural technology. Production now
can be carried out even on the driest soil,
as water is brought to infertile deserts.
If this advanced technology is implemented
in all deserts, then many countries on the
brink of starvation will acquire productive
lands. This, of course, requires considerable
technology.

deserts in the United Arab Emirates
and the resulting crops. |
To green the deserts, sufficient amounts
of water and land must be obtained. One
relevant technology now being developed
is computer-controlled irrigation. This
enables water to be sent directly to the
plant's roots so that not a single drop
is wasted. Given that purified water is
a crucial element of desert agriculture,
flood and sea water forms the basis of agricultural
technology. In this way, vast water resources
will be obtained, a development that also
will be a major support of countries' economies.
Our Prophet (may God bless him and grant
him peace) also indicated the very productive
use of water:
