Human Geography - Orientation And Settlements - Learning Points. 30% of the world's freshwater reserves are locked away underground. In 1981, Dr Farouk El-Baz discovered freshwater beneath the Sahara, using radar photography. Since 1981, 540 wells have been dug in the area of land between Egypt and Sudan. In parts of the Sahara there are now patches of green land where farming is possible. A Twig Context Film. Reinforce and extend the learning required by the curriculum.
