What is an oasis ? ما هى الواحه ؟

Oasis in the Libyan part of the desert واحه فى ليبيا 



An oasis : is an isolated area of vegetation in a desert, typically surrounding a spring or similar water source. Oases also provide habitat for animals and even humans if the area is big enough.
Oases are formed from underground rivers or aquifers such as an artesian aquifer, where water can reach the surface naturally by pressure or by man made wells.
The location of oases has been of critical importance for trade and transportation routes in desert areas.

Growing Plants
People who live in an oasis must manage land and water use carefully,fields must be irrigated to grow plants like dates, figs, olives, and apricots. The most important plant in an oasis is the date palm which forms the upper layer. These palm trees provide shade for smaller trees like peach trees, which form the middle layer. By growing plants in different layers, the farmers make best use of the soil and water. Many vegetables are also grown and some cereals, such as wheat, barley and millet are grown where there is more moisture.
Examples of oases:
Oases of Egypt like ,Siwa , Farafra, Bahariya ,Dakhla ,and Kharga and also Farafra, and Faiyum Oases .

I will write on each one later .

الواحه هى 
منطقة زراعيه معزوله فى وسط الصحراء الجرداء ويحيط بها عادة مصدر مياه مثل الينابيع والأبار ما شابه ذلك
توفر الواحات أيضا موطنا للحيوانات والبشر إذا كانت المساحة كبيرة بما يكفي لحياتهم 
و تتشكل الواحات من الأنهار أو المياه الجوفية تحت سطح الأرض مثل المياه الجوفية الإرتوازية حيث يمكن أن تصل المياه إلى السطح بشكل طبيعي عن بواسطة الضغط أو عمل الإنسان فى حفر الآبار

لموقع الواحات أهمية بالغة لطرق التجارة والنقل في المناطق الصحراويه
الزراعه بالواحات
يجب على الناس الذين يعيشون في الواحات إدارة استخدام الأراضي والمياه بعناية فائقه ومن النباتات التى تتم زراعتها فى الواحات التمر والتين والزيتون والمشمش
النبات الأكثر أهمية في الواحات هى النخيل وهي تشكل الطبقة العلوية للظل ويوفر النخيل الظل للأشجار الصغيرة مثل أشجار الخوخ،والتي تشكل الطبقة الوسطى للظل و التى يزرع تحتها أيضا الكثير من الخضراوات وبعض الحبوب مثل القمح والشعير والذرة، حيث توجد رطوبة أكثر.
من خلال زراعة النباتات في طبقات مختلفة استطاع المزارعين الاستفادة القصوى من التربة والمياه

من امثله الواحات الواحات المصريه مثل واحة سيوه و الفرافره و الداخله و الخارجه و كذلك واحة الفيوم 
و الواحات فى الصحراء الليبيه المجاوره لها كما فى الصوره

ارجو ان أكون قد أضفت شيئا إليكم
