ivy holidays discovered new adventures in 360 degrees and explore fascinating boats. heritage selling dw world heritage $360.00 now the and there is no denying dates offline its an hour since off the top of other words people are facing extreme weather conditions. how can we better protect ourselves in the future? that's what we'll be exploring in this specialization of echo offer, cause i'm crystal, i'm calling to you from a very way across in gunner and i am sandra 3. nobody. all right,
7:31 am
to income plus you going to thank you for joining us once again. whether you live in africa or in you, in a city or a funding community. when the rains don't come, it brings crooked fees on the shortage of drinking water bottle. they are some solutions which is what we've got for you in the show. today. we meet the people talking to ation and want to resolve seems to die. we find out how to make the most on the drought loving comfortable. and we see how you, of the biggest selling nation found things to point the song of barcelona, a 1st rate sold texas to an a read crisis redid region. so done. what is the ongoing conflict is wearing the people down, especially in the capital cost to it is the waves of drought that are really taking
7:32 am
the tools on the population equal africa then should deep into the northern so done to learn more about a centuries old, underground tricia troll the people they are determined to piss off of the for the most to go in so done, the more audi gets hundreds of keeps telling me to as of the day that it is hard to believe. but beneath the sun is a huge reese of a 4th to stretching from egypt for so done to chat and libya called the new beyond the sunstone of fi. it was discovered during the i'd really in the 1950s you'll just of the omar has been studying the uncle for, for 20 years. in some places. it's what to live close to the surface, a home or off and off of this hosting they out of the region during the test really in 2004 and lo, guy, somebody, i'm probably in the northern location, the depth of the 60 meters, or let me, can you imagine one irrigation system that can irritate 50 heck,
7:33 am
because the that's unique and it indicates the powerful flow, the reservoir and the order my, the for them has done a goofy look hole really just such as of how sure have benefited most super salt as discovery 20 years ago, they have hot, irregular access to water from of like up to have fees side of mid the most of it. he owns fuels covering several hundreds hector's and can grow a wide range of fruits and vegetables from fava beans to sold them. and as far as the dcf is mainly grown, wheat lane is the how the culture, the water should be nice to properly, you know, some is more of them. if you find that. i mean, if you, you asked advanced method, so you have new technology used by more to can be say you would be a little bit of trouble. tiffany: but if you use the traditional method, if you it can see much more about it. sure. what have been run the or how yeah,
7:34 am
just the fewest and i'll do her fees so you can either get his fuels regularly. thanks for the wells he has built over the years. it's sauce cost him the equivalent of 450 years. but after that, the village of the farmers get the water for free to the new be in sunstone. upper flat is the was largest forcing what every silver means. that what accumulates and here hundreds of thousands of years ago and became chopped underground. but the funds, what the results are finite was some areas have a very low retail rate. others have not told some research as think the uncle fuck could last another 200 years. but that is near the siding nor easy to a long time transitional agreements. and are you in project a to insure what days use fairly and sustainably. so dense government to greet a new law on what to use in 2022 of us seen by the minutes, feel free to get on. what are resources so far they have built that to you at small
7:35 am
was for the public. and 6 deep was for research purposes. and i think i was a captain and i'm going to dress up. oh wow, what was it then you still need the possibility of weed production in the nose and then rely on the state of the house with whom i loved the guy, we'd actually manual. and we found out that we can grow more than $210000.00 take to is always in some areas we're using the water of the aquifer. i mean that without causing the drop in water levels to impact time. yeah. because i have to buy out that that's what i thought of to know the huge amounts of what just told you that uncle fuck has not been measurably depleted. nevertheless, the regions population is growing in size, and the numbers of farmers and head as to jill of use of dollars on their regularly visit the villages, even northern states to money tell what to use to live through the electronic devices. i remember it out over the entire nose in
7:36 am
state of that are intended to monitor the changes occurring in the winter level. and you will see increasing decided succession link to climate change means what is more important than ever in this region. if the forcing water from the huge jungle flat is used wisely, it could help humans on any more survive here. some places have been dry full as long as we can remember, but they and other places are getting dry of binds the. the walls climate is changing rapidly because of human activity, sanches binding oil on the full so few hours. and for many people it is hard to adopt has to do with 5 failed rainy seasons. nearly 2 years of decimated livestock failed crops and famine. a seemingly endless drought has good parts of east africa, pushing tens of millions of people and to assure monitoring crisis the shepherd
7:37 am
from the somali region of faith yoga pleaded for help. earlier this year, was it and i'll hold the people's lives are in danger. the majority of people have left the village because of starvation, and those that remain here have nothing to have kind of help the school would allow that you have co ha, xtreme, weather events like this. drought have always existed, but they haven't always happened this frequently or this intensely. scientists from different countries collaborated on an attribution study. the found human induced climate change is a place here in the horn of africa. it made conditions, especially hot and especially dry. we found though that's the bill in east africa as the med, exceptionally by time of change. so basically what we're saying is with the climate change, that's kind that the mug me to the, what's the cause? many parts of the world are already at risk of drought, but the kind of crisis is increasing this risk in some regions, such as england,
7:38 am
where a river and one of its white us regents has run dry and some parts or taiwan were bamboo crops, or dwindling or the western us, which has battled omega drought for 20 years. but how exactly does this happen when we burn fossil fuels? we released greenhouse gases, but heat or atlas here that wreaks havoc when it comes to our weather patterns and makes higher temperatures. more likely all over the world. this month was the 1st time june temperatures went up more than $1.00 degrees celsius compared to pre industrial levels. that's a limit. many countries have pledged notice are passed because it creates the optimal conditions for disaster is linked routes. is warmer temperatures typically mean greater kind of or basically a thursday or atmosphere. more about the ration from the surface and dryer conditions and soils and reservoirs. climate change can also affect rainfall. some regions may see less precipitation. others may get more, but instead of having it fall evenly throughout the year,
7:39 am
these regions may experience short and frequent burst of heavy rain. so what this means is that you basically get these kind of dryer periods between rape. all events of allows for a longer period for the sales to drive down. and that can also increase a drought risk and severity when i drove does strike a can last weeks, months or even years. and that can become expensive. quickly. droughts have cost the global economy tens of billions of us dollars over the past decades. one water intensive sector that is especially affected as agriculture. when crops fail, the effects can range from rising food prices to mass assignments. drugs can also affect the water supply for urban populations for their plumbing, and electricity. in 2018 reserves and the south african city of cape town were so low that there were fears the city could run out of water altogether, a so called a 0. these types of conditions can erase people's entire livelihoods. a situation many if you can, shepherds are currently struggling with how much i do. i don't know how to do
7:40 am
anything other than being a nomadic shepherd. i'm not educated and i don't know how to find. this is the only way i know how to survive. in somali, the shepherd's native language, the drought is called fema, that means equal because drought said everyone equally. but what climate experts stress is that some communities have fewer resources to adopt it? if we continue business have a huge role. if we don't realize that's actually a humming old planet, we a hacked in the most vulnerable people, and it's up to top looters to make sure the crisis let these don't become even more likely. war to just one more amazing thing the author provide for us as long as we use it sensitively. but even areas where the res, very lead to what some life is able to strive. we want to look on one particular plots that could prove surprising the use for us. no doubt you guessed it. if
7:41 am
not, this week's doing debates will give you the onset and a whole lot more that seems like prickly and spreading everywhere. the cactus has few friends in summit goal. one exception is malik sonya. the young scientist and ecologists comp that's enough of the spiky supplements which he says are full of potential. when the soul in his village of familiar became selling items, all the pumps died except the comp time that's when sonya came up with the idea of doing something with them. they're pretty good at this. thank you. okay. i see a few samples in containers down the 24 hours. i realized that the cactus was able to produce the mit gas as it is. so i thought i would try to come up with the production method that would utilize the catalyst for agra. and i'll make sure
7:42 am
because energy about 100 environmental purposes is that everyone to me is that and is, it ignores the, is that either the mental sonya grades different types of space. she's on a small experimental fall off the harvesting that crushed to make clean energy and a bio gas pump. the solid and liquid prestigious they use for organic fast eliza. to test it says back to them this, he's trying out a homemade firefight, eliza on his own feel. ready it's out, but it contributes to the restoration of the plans by capturing organic elements that are converted to mineral elements of. i mean that's causing you to buy a guess from conk twice a cooking, don't panic stuff, eliza, to improve crops. maddox, on this concept is tailored to small farmers and remote regions. he wants to pump to heck tests and his village, just a matter of his cock, this innovation project, seeing. and that's just the beginning.
7:43 am
and how about you? if you're also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us a tweet. hash tag doing your bit. we share your story. it's not just cock, this is the come cope well in drawing so many legions like chick fees a will. so drilled resistance, but that's not only the attractive quality here in africa. we have a lot of experience. we've extended dry spills. bump in you. it is something new. that's right, sandra finances, and some fire that are in from near the german cup to little lane. and they'll start to the experimental cultivation of what to known as leg jimmy. those plans and the results look promising these farm,
7:44 am
the sa, preparing chick p seats for selling the plant is not native to central european soils. they need to advise that will be about tyria to help it convert nitrogen from the yeah, which reduces the need for such a long as the farmers hope. the simple tweak will allow them to grow more the sustainable protein, which plans from the lake you family. by the 20th much the product such as abroad, beans or peas, which are native here. the bacteria are already present to ms swell. but with soybeans and chick peas. yeah. the bacterial strain doesn't exist here yet. between them is like humans which also include lentils, peanuts, alfalfa, and clover stand out in the plans well for being able to produce their own fertilizer with the aid of those special bacteria. that's why in europe, crops like peas and beans were long a favorite with farmers as they actively improve sort of quality rather than
7:45 am
leaching out nutrients. so these chick peas are grown without onto the visual fertilizes, which are energy and emissions intensive to produce a plus if all goes well, the fonts can also do without artificial irrigation. the chick, the plant evolved in middle eastern climates and can get by with little rainfalls because the ones the off time. so we try to plant them around 2 and a half centimeters, deep in moist, occurs to get the germination process going to. and the advantage of this variety is that it loves drysdale oil. that's fucking leaving chick fees on, grow much here in germany. the thought to change in future as human induced climate change is causing hot and dry of weather username also. so we're looking for like rooms that we can easily market. i can come and ones that are more
7:46 am
heat in drug resistant and broad beans or peaceable in order to food absa on those. and that's how we arrived at the chick pee and comes and it's got a lot of uses and it's nutritious. what and what better way to prove that point them with the trip to the village restaurant for lunch. on the menu today, chick p. curry with local classic asparagus. first, the chef brings out the an appetizer. freshly baked bread with homeless made using chick pays from band hard to fund a month. it says from perfect, perfect, wonderful. the locally sourced restaurant hopes, the featured chick peas on these menu more often in the future. and a few kilometers away. the next top is already sprouting. once i otis the me below the surface, we can already see the 1st roots moment. so that claim is
7:47 am
a crop scientist at the live minute center for agricultural landscape research. his team is acutely interested in the chick piece here. what does it mean that wasn't lied? so we want to find out if my goodness can help make agriculture more sustainable than adaptable to climate change and whether they can also have a positive influence on climate change so that it's less extreme. so climate protection, in fact in fact chick peas and other legumes can contribute so much nitrogen to the soil, thanks to the bacteria on the root nodules that even the next plants growing on the field will benefit. as a result, future crops could need little to no artificial fertilizer. like humans around the cro, known about 2 percent of gym and crop land. in recent decades, cold grain and rape seat of the come so widespread,
7:48 am
the many like items are insulted. the above all sorted means the state of mind is the one that's best trusting, just as i'd love to see, like humans cultivated on the say, 10 percent of the airable land here. i'm gonna have to deal with that. but of course, only if it's economically viable for the farmers of subsidies, and there was a market for it. and one in rolanda, for example, beans are growing on a large scale because they're a staple food and feature in almost every dish. and on for on even with the advice of chrome system, scientists from the agricultural research center. it's proving a challenge for the from run by found how to fund them of it's that he's still trying to sell the organic chick pays from his 1st 3 years of cultivation and have him come from what i'm doing. that's like it's not me, it's not easy. to shift this stuff right now, and we surprised just isn't what we need to break even with you. but it's pioneering work. you know, we know that we also see creating
7:49 am
a sustainable value chain is something elizabeth failing of knows a lot about her idea or southern future. approaching mich crops will not only be grown here, but also cleaned packaged and sold. there's a sale going to enable it makes total sense from the nutritional standpoint. if you're able to cut down on meats on an increase plump production, stagen, listen, the task is does have to be smooth. that's why, really gain as a regional, sustainable source of pricing comes in to you. yeah. it's grown where it's needed and will be a great solution. and of course i have to go. there's only one person already counting on chic fees. is amelia big now, a few years ago she founded her own chick piece next company in the eastern german city of live session. she says she's glad to a found a time in front of the business model of the mission the all the scheme of under the climate change often lease my feeling helpless member comfortability with here
7:50 am
is how awful everything is going to be force brought us on the floor and you rarely get any specific ideas. the solution i wanted to have, yes, i found something with my business where i feel confidence that i'm on the right path van. i'm proposing a group of sense that has the potential to counteract climate change and being the next 5 years of crunchy climate friendly chick peas is sent on its way to a big gym and supermarket chain under media vague. and it's also hoping that dr. mine for over i tease of like you and we'll catch on in gemini, and the pharmacy will be able to sustain that be transformed that fields while the time is right. me. those next loop taste the of like to try them myself. and we just heard, like, you don't need lots of water while they do need some. oh, we do have plenty. just think of our oceans. 97 percent of the water is in off
7:51 am
season. well, the salt content mix it on usable for humans, animals, and most plants, and it's not true of states. but there is a solution here of the largest association plans in spain and due to droughts this year. it's running around this lot. extreme heat and droughts do not the people in cities respecting major population centers like to causes london aging, tokyo cape town and boss alona and to cities located by the c. one solution looks especially promising selling nation. we sell a nation, this combination of catalonia in ne, spain is one area in europe where climate change is getting hot. the region is in the grid of a 3 year drought. reservoir is that supply the city of bonds, a low to are only one quarter full. this all which ease of rationing the waters,
7:52 am
the industry and i will quote you but also for local residents and to raise ah, you know i'm, it wasn't shot because like it stores the city and everybody come here to have fun but there is no ortho. so it's kind of disappointed to find that residents of bonds, hello, no, still have drinking water to a tool is thanks in part to the dissemination of see what will to the plans in the products that you got the knowledge just in your outcome with the maximum capacity in a 180000 cubic meters of water per day, which we can sustain for as long as necessary. and that would be an incentive. so just to see what was the is heated up. salt has a very high boiling point. well, water already of operate at a 100 degrees celsius. as the water vapor is full through
7:53 am
a series of membranes into high pressure in order to filter out the salt things to its efficient renewable energy technology. you'll probably got can seems 25 percent less power than other plants of its signs. but even then decent a nation is still extremely energy intensive and expensive on the left of the water as a lot of salt and pollutants that need disposing of in barcelona. it simply gets pumped back out to sea, not far off the coast. so now we're seeing more plants saying why there are other solutions. i'm so, so in my opinion, you should use this information only for the very, very crush of me. it's like bringing both up to the pollution and the and the meaning of what the potential because there are other sources of flaw of water you can use other associates. oh, other methods, you know, type of 2017 is a drought,
7:54 am
a trunk water levels in cape towns, west of wise to below 10 percent. the region was set to run out of water in 5 months. due to the authorities come to this building does not a nation pounds, but they chose a different solution. residents were told to drastically couch them will to consumption. no one should be showering more than twice a week. from the topic you have to save as if your life depends on the city also invested in better wastewater treatment tons today they've done well filled and disaster has been evicted for now. meanwhile, in barcelona to choose and likewise changing. we cannot say ok, we're going to be in this range from 2 feet of the 8 medium captains across the 20 medium tories plus whatever that would go to them. the industry just with the sending nation perhaps that's. that's what that what about the work catalonia is
7:55 am
now also looking to reduce its will to usage a recent studies. so the hotels alone can seem 12 percent of the available drinking water bottle evidence to risk. we'll also have to learn to use less. because in the end will to it is not for fun. but for us, the vital of personalization has come to us and i hope we've given you a few good ideas, both ways to adapt to climate change so long for me for so low in that cross. gonna see you next week, sometime, some place until then do stay in touch by visiting all social media channels for now, i am sandra. nobody from comp hello frontier in uganda or the
7:56 am
7:57 am
came out of the the in detroit. because of this week we are in vegas nigeria. and would you believe me if i told you that this country has 300 as well? that's a book that you can sometimes get a phone wait and resulting to try. but in the seventy's 7 percent in 30 minutes of my life on the w, the
7:58 am
wish i could've done more to save. you just click away, find the best document on you to really see the world. never seen it before. the slide now keeps dw dokey. so you don't feel the same way you expect and want different things from life than your parents . i just want to pursue what that's my so on fired or you think your kid is 2 different risk, irresponsible, unreasonable,
7:59 am
all stuff. porters, those nonsense. i want my son to the doctor. is there an alternative to the plan? we've done everything to prevent a divorce, but nothing works. so in the clouds, it's time. you're a sweet thing for us. and then when generation starts, january 14 is kind of funny. it feels like they're the, the, the,
8:00 am
you're watching the, the, the name was coming to live from berlin. russel launch is a large scale air results on your brain. the gradients took shelters. the country faced several waves of crews and ballistic missiles hitting residential and industrial facilities. officials have said several people were injured. top us diplomat, anthony, of lincoln and germany's for minister and the bear block are both in israel for talks. as worries grow that the conflict could engulf the entire region. they're pushing israel to reduce cause of civilian casualties and a plan for a post consulate.
