These Pools Help Support Half The People On Earth
These Pools Help Support Half The People On Earth
What are these electric blue ponds in the middle of the Utah desert? And why do they keep changing color?
Join Derek Muller (Veritasium) as he looks into the weird, bizarre, and seemingly inexplicable images found on Google Earth to discover what on Earth they actually are. It’s a travel vlog, documentary, and science show wrapped into one. It’s Pindrop.

Very entertaining, this is put together very well.

I’d love to discover a new element like element 115, I think Bob Lazar has some.
We did literally scramble about the shores for food at one time! Then The Middle East taught us agriculture & a better numerical system & more. Thank you Davy for Potash. Very interesting video indeed!
Now I know how to make gunpowder with sulfur and saltpeter ayyyy
일렉트릭 블루 연못
Bizarre, sick and disgusting. The Chinese Governments perverted attempt at a environmental drag show.
Bro just taught me how to make an explosive.
Human society is the most wasteful ever Burning trees, to mining, wasting water in a desert
Could be done more efficiently, with 100yr old technology
..
And that my friends is why you don’t drink stuff in chemistry labs
Every time I see anything using gunpowder in media now I’m going to remember that it’s powered by bat poop.
yall i was shook when i heard derek introduce himself at the beginning of the video
i legit had no idea what his name was but i just never questioned it before
Harvesting potash by mining doesn’t seem infinite. This is a non-renewable resource.
Amazing. Thank you
Buddy reminds me of Adam from buzzfeed
Kalium
7:37 seems like a supernova.
So the potassium Inn 🍌 aren’t real but the ones created in. Lab is? SMT
It does not benefit everyone, the pools are toxic and kills tons of wildlife.
Look at the cobalt mines in Africa that makes the lithium work.
Here he states why eating plant based foods is actually the way it should be 17:31
Thankfully the Colorada River has an unlimited supply of water to pump into these potash mines.
So brilliant
In the beginning of the video, I was thinking "Saltpetre", when he was asking what they could be used for. Then he was saying potassium, and I was all confused. Didn’t realize saltpetre was a form of potassium.

Im from utah and its so funny to me to watch videos like this
Hearing how they burned all those trees >:( bastards
Darek, You should start giving lectures.
You are making every think I found boring, interesting.
Plus your story telling skill is mind blowing 🤯
So educative
I now I get why I did not get it. Many countries call it Kalium 🙂
And what person, company or Government owns this business? Is it a government agency?
Isn’t Lake Mead drying up?… Any connections to these facilities?…. Hmmmm….
Hydro Retention ponds?
Is this (process, ponds) replicated around the world?
I’m an x truck driver and I knew what it was I have hauled this stuff b4 I did hazmat stuff for years. Not that it’s has mat but it can be if mixed
I hope this comes back
Very interesting
WOW
nicely explained. the illustration @14:20 and analogizing water molecules to miners is brilliant
Great Movie…
Don’t let them fool you this is heroin
Good Morning,
Please MEASURE the curves of bodies of water … from water drops to oceans.
Cheers !
Bananas are actually poor sources of potassium.
Example of gooood marketing
Potassium sounds like LNG today…
But despite how important fertilizer is countries are outlawing it due to the lies regarding "climate change"…
I literally saw these ponds a week ago while I was flying over Utah and wondered what they were. I figured they were salt flats, and I wasn’t far off. Great video, thanks for sharing.
My first thought was salt ponds ,
Gatorade has almost no potassium. A glass of milk has way more. Like 10x’s more.
Interesting 🙏🙏
This video is so cool.
