11:30 am
because like, instead of the and there is no denying dates offline, it's an irish and 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 cost um crystal, i'm calling to you from a very well across in gunner and i am sandra 3 nobody. all right, to income plus you going to thank you for joining us once again. whether you live
11:31 am
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. water we saw seems to die. we find out how to make the most on the drought loving comfortable. and we see how you of the guest this sunday nation found things to point to the song of barcelona, a 1st rate, bold 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 the tools on the population equal africa then should deep into the northern so done
11:32 am
to learn more about a centuries old, underground tricia troll the people that are determined to piss off of the for the not to go in. so done the more how did you get hundreds of keeps telling me to as of the day is that it is hard to believe. but beneath the sun is a huge reese of a 4th to stretching from egypt for us. have done to chat and libya called the newbie on the sandstone. uncle fi, it was discovered during the i'd really in the 1950s. you'll just of the omar has been starting the uncle for, for 20 years. in some places. it's what to live close to the surface home or up and up. this whole seemed a region during the test really in 2004 and low guy smiley. i'm kind of in the northern location, the depth of the 60 meters or less. can you imagine one irrigation system that can irritate 50 heck, because the that's unique and it indicates the powerful flow the reservoir and the
11:33 am
order model for them has done a goofy look hole really just such as a refresher, have benefited most super salt as discovery 20 years ago, they have hot, irregular access to water. farmers like up to have fees a site of mid to most of it. he owns, feels covering several hundreds hector's and can grow a wide range of fruits and vegetables from fava beans to soak them. and i'll follow the dcf is mainly grown wheat. this light is on the how the culture of the world to should be hosted properly. you know, so as long as you find that, i mean, if you, you guys advance like 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. just the fewest and i'll do her fees so you can either get his fuels regularly.
11:34 am
thanks for the wells he has built over the years. it's soft cost him the equivalent of 450 years. but after that, the village of the farmers get the water for free. the new be incense to an upper floor is the was largest false in what every silver means. that's what accumulates and here, hundreds of thousands of years ago and became chopped on the ground. but the of us, what the results are finite was some areas have a very low retail rate. others have not told some research as think the alpha could last another 200 years. but that is near the siding nor easy to a long time transitional agreements. and are you in for a to ensure what i use use fairly and sustainably. so dense government a great a new law on what to use in 2022 of us seen how by the meanest feel free to get on . what are resources so far they have built that he had small was for the public, and 6 deep was for research purposes. and i think i was
11:35 am
a captain and i'm going to dress up. oh wow. what we'll say. then you don't need the possibility of weed production in the nose and then rely on the state of the house, the theme, i don't think we'd actually value. and then we found out that we can grow more than $210000.00 take to is always in some areas we are using the water of the aquifer and 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 geologist, abdullah on their regularly visit the villages in the northern states to money to water use the food that uh it lives on devices and remember it out over the entire nose and state of that are intended to monitor the changes occurring in the water level and you will see
11:36 am
increasing the certification 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. and i mean most of 5 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 was climate is changing rapidly because of human activity, sanches binding oil on the full so fluids. 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 into a humanitarian crisis. the shepherd from the somali region of 50 of you pleaded for help earlier this year was
11:37 am
a hold of 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. i will say how can i help the school louder? yeah, do you have come? extreme weather events like this drought has always existed, but they haven't always happened this frequently or the intensely scientists from different countries collaborated on an attribution study. the found human induced climate change is a pleasure in the horn of africa. it made conditions, especially hot and especially dry. we found though that's the east africa as being med exceptionally by time of change. so basically what we're saying is we don't climate change. that's kind that the magnitude of what the cod 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, where a river and one of its white us regents has run dry and some parts or taiwan, where bamboo crops are dwindling. or the western u. s. which has battled
11:38 am
a mega 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 the 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 of aspiration 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 for evenly throughout the year, these regions may experience short and frequent burst of heavy rain. that's what this means is that you basically get these kind of dryer periods between rape. all
11:39 am
events of allows for a longer period for the soils 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 math 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 as you can, shepherds are currently struggling with how much i do. i don't know how to do anything other than being
11:40 am
a nomadic shepherd. i'm not educated and i don't know how to find out. 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 that if we continue business as usual, if we don't realize that's actually a humming old planet, we have hacked in the most vulnerable people and it's up to top looters to make sure the crisis like 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 plants that could prove surprisingly useful to us. no doubt you guessed it. if
11:41 am
not, this week's doing debate will give you the onset and a whole lot more that seems like prickly and spreading everywhere. the talk to us has few friends and some of goal. one exception is malik sonya. the young scientist and ecologists count gets enough of the spiky supplements, which he says are full of potential. when the soul in his village of camella became celebrated, all the prompts died except the comp time that's when sonya came up with the idea of doing something with them. thank you. hope was it. i sealed a few samples in containers down the middle will develop that 24 hours. i realize that the cactus was able to produce the gas as it is. so i thought i would try to come up with the production method that would utilize the catalyst for agrent nomic energy event environmental purposes. is that everyone to me?
11:42 am
is that and is it the most? yeah. is that i would and sonya grace, different types of species on a small experimental fund of to harvesting that, crushed to make clean energy and a bio gas pump. the solids and liquids messaging us. and you scroll down it fast, eliza, the test it's effectiveness. he's trying out a homemade firefight, eliza on his own field. ready it's out, but it contributes to the restoration of the plans by capturing organic elements that are converted into mineral elements of. i mean that's causing you to buy a guess from conk twice a cooking. i don't comics stuff, eliza to improve products. metrics on this concept has tailored to small farmers and remote regions. he wants to pump to heck tests and instead of just the miller. so his cock, this innovation project seeing and that's just the beginning. and how about you? if you're also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit our website,
11:43 am
or send us a tweet. hash tag doing your bit. we share your story. it's not just cock, this is the 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 in from near the german cup to little bro lane. have now started the experimental cultivation of what to known as like jimmy, those plans and the results look promising. these farmers, sa, preparing chick p seats for selling the plant is not native to central european
11:44 am
soils. they need to advise that will be about to area 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 of the sustainable protein which plans from the lake you family. by the 20th much the product such as a broad 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 leaching out nutrients. so these chick peas are grown without onto visual
11:45 am
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 we try to plant them around 2 and a half centimeters, deep and 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 pays 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 leg rooms that we can easily market can come and ones that are more heat in drug resistant and broad beans are peaceable in order to food absa
11:46 am
on those. and that's how we arrived at the chick p 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 found how to fund a month. it says from dice, 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 that what is the mean below the surface? we can already see the 1st roots moment, so that cling is a crop scientist at the live minutes center for cultural landscape research. his
11:47 am
team is acutely interested in the chick piece here. what does it wasn't lights? so we want to find out the fly 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, see that the come so widespread. the many like items are imported a puzzle. so it means that state of mind is the one that's bas, trusting,
11:48 am
and us as i'd love to see like you're miscalculated on the say, i've got 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 upsets and there's a market for it. and one in rwanda for example, beans are growing on a large scale because they're a staple food and feature in almost every dish. and then for, or even with the advice of crump system, scientists from the agricultural research center. it's proving a challenge for the farm run by band hodge fund them of it's that he's still trying to sell the organic chick pays from his 1st 3 years of cultivation when the 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 price just isn't what we need to break even with it. but it's pioneering work doing. yeah, but we know that the offices, the secular creating sustainable value chain is something elizabeth failing of
11:49 am
knows a lot about her id or is that in future protein which crops will not only be grown here, but also clean packaged and sold the cell phone to enable it makes total sense from the nutritional standpoint of your so to cut down on meat and increase pump production. stagen listen with us is does have to be smooth. that's why when the game as a regional, sustainable source of protein comes in to you. yeah, it's grown where it's needed and will be a great solution. of course i have to go. there's only one person already counting on should fees is amelia vague. now, a few years ago she found in 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 is how awful everything is going to be 4 spots on the floor and you rarely get any
11:50 am
specific ideas, the solutions i wanted have you have i found something with my business where i feel confident that i'm on the right path. savannah and i am promoting a group of friends that has the potential to counteract climate change. and the next 5 years of crunchy climate friendly chick peas is sent on its way to a big gym and supermarket chain and a media vague. and is 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 feels all the time is right. me. those next loop taste the i'd like to try them myself. and we just heard, like, you don't need lots of water for they do need some. oh, we do have plenty. just think of our oceans. 97 percent of both. the water is the last please. well, the salt contents mix it on usable for humans, animals,
11:51 am
and most plants, and it's not to real estate. but there is a solution. europe largest asylum nation plants is in spain, and due to drought, best yeah. it's running around the block, the extreme heat and droughts do not sped people in cities respecting major population centers like to come to london aging, tokyo cape town, and boss alona. i'm to cities located by the c. one solution looks especially promising celebration the celebration this combination of catalonia in ne, spain is one area in europe where climate change is getting hard. the region isn't the correct because the 3 year drought reservoir is that supply the city of bone. so luna, are only one quote to a full this all which ease of rationing the was it the industry and i will quote
11:52 am
you, but also for local residents and tourists. i know i'm it wasn't shot because like it's during 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, so that still have drinking water to a tool is thanks in part to the dissemination of c one more to the plants email. but that's the over the got is the knowledge just in your outcome of 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 evaporates a 100 degrees celsius on the water vapor as fools through a series of membranes into high pressure in order to filter out the salt
11:53 am
things to its efficient renewable energy technology. you'll probably guys 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 say, well, why we didn't all have solutions. i'm so, so in my opinion, you should use this with emission only for the very, very crucial means like bringing both up to the pollution and things and the meaning of what the potential because there are other sources, all flaw of water. you can use other associates. oh, other methods in october 2017 is a drought, a trunk, water levels in cape towns,
11:54 am
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 decided, nation puns. but they chose a different solution. residents were told to drastically couch them will to consumption. know i'm sure the showering more than twice a week. from the topic. you have to save as if your life depends on, in the city also invested in better wastewater treatment tons today they've done well filled and disaster has been evicted to now. meanwhile, in barcelona to choose and likewise changing. we cannot say, okay, we're going to be disadvantaged from 2 feet of the eighty's. i've got that i'm supposed to have 20 medium tories plus whatever that would go to them. the industry just with the sending nation paths that's. that's what that what about the work? catalonia is now also looking to reduce its will to usage a recent studies,
11:55 am
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 an end. i hope we've given you a few good ideas, both ways to adapt to climate change. so long for me, for us to live in that cross, gonna see you next week, sometime, some place until then do stay and thoughts visiting all social media channels. for now, i am sandra 3. nobody you from comp hello, frontier in uganda. the, the,
