The Masdar Project

The Masdar Project

         An energy company called Masdar attended to build a wind farm near the Saudi Arabian border. It will cost US$200 million. Their goal is to reach 7 per cent of the source in Abu Dhabi by 2020. Also, Mubadala Development which own Masdar is planning to build a small wind farm in Sir Bani Yas Island. It also has two more solar projects they planning to build. Experts said that it would be a challenge to build a wind farm because of the region nature. So it will not be a big share. Mr. Nassif said, “That will be a monitor for how much it will attract capital markets and bank funding, because it is the wind, not solar. It is the first project of its kind” (Yee, 2011).

Desert survival

Desert survival

     

    The well across the country provide water and directions for Bedouin across the desert in the UAE. The wells were like petrol stations for them. Also, they developed their skill to know where to find the water. Sometimes they dig a well and they don’t find any water, but when they dig further away the find some. Although some wells is now abandoned, people use it names to give direction. Moreover, camels and goats milk could replace water. Or they also can drink the water that is inside the camel stomach after they kill it. So they have to be prepared to this climate or they will suffer dehydration.
