- Have you seen the traditional irrigation systems in UAE?
- Al Aflaj is a traditional irrigation system which uses an underground tunnel to conduct water over long distances from an underground source to a basin, where the community can access it.The water flows by gradual gradient from highlands to flatlands, while the underground tunnels reduce evaporation. Aflaj also includes a network of surface channels, which distributes water to local farms. Al Aflaj system is based on inherited knowledge and practices related to nature and the universe. It also relies on traditional skills in finding water sources based on types of vegetation and other indications, as well as drilling skills for maintaining the irrigation system and ensuring the equitable distribution of water.

- Well, the modern irrigation system in UAE might have also improved to a great extent.
- The majority of the nation's freshwater supply is produced by desalination plants, which are fueled by the richness of oil. Furthermore, creative initiatives like Masdar City use sustainable water management techniques like xeriscaping and greywater recycling to reduce water use in urban settings.
