Does anybody know what is it ?

Maybe something for the irrigation, but I don't see anything to irrigate (like fields).

Hydrographic ?

So it's for the irrigation...but the irrigation of what ? In this area, there nothing but the desert...

But you see, there are many roads to this location. Perhaps they make a new oasis in this area. The diameter of this area of wells is nearly 40 miles.

So you think they bring water first, and then they'll make the fields ?

I really don't think that this installation is for an agricultural use. In this location, the weather conditions are too difficult.

I think we can agree that it's some water reserve. But for what ?

What look strange to me is the size of the circular shapes. Exactly 1/2 mile for diameter. Just like many fields in Kansas.

So the debate is still open.

(sorry for my bad english, I'm a poor french who's got to assume the failures of the educational french system...)

That looks like cultivated zones sprinkled by a circular system. But the color is strange.
