Some parts of the Desert are not dry and barren: occasional rainfall turns pockets of the desert green and fills dry riverbeds with the floods of water. Some of this water is trapped behind small dams or, even after it has seeped underground, is tapped by means of wells dug into the riverbed. Water from deep layers of rock comes to the surface at oases , where crops as date palms are cultivated. With the help of various irrigation methods, more of the desert the desert can be cultivated. Today vast areas of the desert are green as a result of pumping water from deep bore wells. But there is a danger that underground water may run dry, that underground water may run dry, especially when more people settle in the settles in the desert and when crops needing a large amount of water are grown.
