Much of the Sahara is underlain by an enormous freshwater aquifer. When you go to the basin, sometimes you can see it leaking out. If you were to walk through those palm groves, you could drink fresh water out of your footsteps. But that green lake water? Due to extreme evaporation, it's saltier than seawater and virtually lifeless.

My brother acquired his first gun when he was very young, from a recently-fled drug dealer's residence. Now, he lived in a rural orange-grove area, and he shot at coyotes who killed his animals and at drug runners who used the groves for transport. Sometimes he joked that he only shot what moved.
