Talk:Geography of Saudi Arabia

Changing borders of Saudi Arabia

this page is helpful for country reports.

The article does not really cover the changes that took place in the course of 20th century. I think some historical maps can be found on the internet: for example, a German 'dead-tree' lexicon of 1971 shows rather different borders with (South-)Yemen and with Qatar/UAE (UAE still a neighbour of Qatar at that time). See also [1]. --Miacek (t) 12:27, 5 June 2009 (UTC) I agree to that.

Well, that map [2] also shows the UAE sharing a border with Qatar, i.e. it's obsolete. Interesting.--Miacek (t) 11:45, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Depletion of underground water

The "Water resources" section of the article is outdated and highly problematical. There is no mention of the country's depletion of its underground water supply, as discussed in the following sources:

How did the undefined borders come to be?

I think it is fasciniating that a number of borders of Saudi Arabia never came to be defined. I wish the article would tell a little more detail about how the countries came to accept the lack of a border. DouglasHeld (talk) 17:22, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
