I see. As I work in hydrology: Deregulating rivers is a core topic and includes retreat. The coming floods will be that massive that even with deregulated rivers flood levels will reach unseen levels (as in Valencia 2024 or Queensland or Louisiana etc). So structures have to leave all flood plains

and if you compare it with Southern Italy right now - this is pretty similar there, too, now. Desert like landscapes are growing fast there but once a year or every two years there's the huge »maltempo« bsky.app/profile/mm-f...

Mostly you are right. In Ma'rib the irrigation just gave any plants a chance. In air images it's still greener where the dam left sediments than anywhere else there. And I found this which gives an impression what kind of flash floods Sabaeans made use of: bsky.app/profile/nick...

"When rain does arrive, it comes in a torrent...two or three times a year

If the flood were to begin around 3pm, [by 6pm] it would reach...2.4 meters

The genius...lay in their ability to harness...these floods...The Sabaeans [were able] to irrigate...fields every year...without major destruction."

A page from "Arabia Felix: From the Time of the Queen of Sheba" the quoted excerpt is taken from

A torrential flash flood in or near Wadi Dhana in modern-day Ma'rib

A map of the major wadis in Yemen, with Wadi Dhana labeled as "Wadi al-Sudd" (literally "Valley of the [Ma'rib] Dam")

regulations nowadays, yes, they are almost all a failure and are part of our problems. Others are nutrients overkill, soil degredation and compression, drainage which hinders a groundwater refill in winter and and and

xfuereinuplan.bsky.social @xfuereinuplan.bsky.social · 2h

Ma'rib didn't regulate a river. It calmed flash floods, gave parts of it time to infiltrate as groundwater refill and made it possible to irrigate fields. It had a breaking device so with too much flood water it would break so the important structures were unharmed. That worked thousands of years

There's a farmer on a Greek Island doing just that and is pretty successful. But even him says, now, with only 100 mm rain in winter and growing season, it's not enough on the long run. That's why the Sabaeans installed this, to regulate rare but hefty floodwater: www.britannica.com/place/Marib

I see we are lost. We had the opportunity to turn the tide but we ignored that. Now it's very improbable to succeed.

I checked this for Southern Italy. They have now climate more and more like in Oman or Yemen, very rare rainfalls, but then super hefty. They need old Sabaean water works, low tech but super efficient, but nothing in sight. Only a handful of people may try that. All others think of desalting plants

maybe immediate adaption means protection against floods, hurricanes, heat etc. which is needed to be able to work local, low tech. You see this in Alaska, the Inuit lived local and longest times low tech and hunting based, but without protection they are swept away. bsky.app/profile/news...

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Wir wollen, dass denjenigen geholfen wird, die in einer schwierigen Lage sind. Und wir lassen nicht zu, dass auf diesen Menschen herumgetrampelt wird. Gerade deshalb – für alle, die sich anstrengen und trotzdem Hilfe brauchen – machen wir auch diese Reform.

fair enough. Ist ja auch so, dass Kalb zu essen früher absolut dekadent war, denn natürlich sollte ein Kalb groß werden und dann in der Landwirtschaft wie auch immer mit eingebunden sein. Kein Hof mit Verstand hat ein Kalb geschlachtet. Der Adel oder reiches Bürgertum, die haben so was gemacht.
