to show in the clouds that it's time to us and then when generations flash dogs, january 14th on d, w 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 best of protect ourselves in the future? that's what we'll be exploring in this specialization of echo oper cost um crystal . i'm calling to you from a very, with a cry in gunner. and i am sandra 3. nobody. all right, to income prolong uganda. thank you for joining us once again,
9:31 am
whether you live in africa or in you, in a city or a funding community. when the rains don't come, it brings cool thing is on the shortage of drinking water bottle. they are some solutions. this is what we've got for you in the show today. we meet the people talking to ation. we want to resolve in so that we find out how to make the most on the drought loving comfortable. and we see how you of the guest this sunday nation planned aims to point this song of by sending that a fuss 3 fold texas doing a read crisis redid region. so done. what is the ongoing conflict is where in 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 venture deep into the northern. so done to
9:32 am
learn more about a centuries old, underground treasure trove, the people that are determined to present us 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 not to believe, but beneath the sun is a huge piece of reflect the stretching from egypt flows have done to chide and libya called the newbie on the sandstone of 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 sauces, home or up and up, the sourcing of the region during the test, really 2004. i'm oh gosh, i have in the northern location, the depth of the 60 meters or less can you imagine parity one irrigation system that can irritate 50 heck, because the that's unique and it indicates the powerful flow,
9:33 am
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 regular access to water almost like up to have fees side of mid the most of it. he owns fuels covering several hundreds hexes and can grow a wide range of fruits and vegetables from fava beans to sold them. and as far as the dcf is mainly growing, we, this light is on the how the culture of the world to should be hosted properly. you as, as one is more than what you find out to. i mean, if you, you guys have advance methods, 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 from you and how you have the 5 of us then uh, i'll do for fee so you can either get his fuels regularly thanks for the wells he
9:34 am
has built over the years. it's soft cost him the equivalent of 450 years, but after that, the village, as on the farm, as get the water for free, the new incense to an upper floor is the walls, largest false in what every silver means. that's what to accumulate. said he hundreds of thousands of years ago and became chopped on the ground. but the uncle 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 uncle fund could last another 200 years. but that is near the siding nor easy to a long time. transitional agreements are you went for a to insure what a z was fairly and sustainably. so dense government a great a new law on what to use in 2022 of a seen by the ministry of you 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 like i was like,
9:35 am
i've been and i'm going to dress up. oh wow. what will say they don't need the possibility of we'd production in the nose and then rely on the state of the house of whom i don't think i will actually buy the unit. 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 and without causing the drop in water levels to impact. uh, yeah, cause i had that right. oh, with that, that's what i've called up to know the huge amounts of what has told you that uncle file 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 tell what to use your limit through the electronic devices spread out over the entire nose and state level that are intended to monitor the changes occurring in the water level and you will see
9:36 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 animals survive here. some places have been dry full as long as we can remember, but they on 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 that oh,
9:37 am
i thought the people's lives are in danger. the majority of people have left the village because of starvation and those that remain here. i have nothing at all. so how can i help others who are louder? yeah, do you have co ha, xtreme, weather events like the stroud have 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 drill 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 through 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, where a river and one of its white us regents has run dry and some parts or taiwan, where been blue crops or dwindling or the western us, which has battled
9:38 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 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 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 fault even leave throughout the year, these regions may experience short and frequent birth of heavy rain. that's what this means is that you basically get these kind of dryer periods between rape. all
9:39 am
events of allows for a longer period for the soils to drive down, and that can also increase a drought risk in severity. when i draw the strike it 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 factor 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 fierce, 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
9:40 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 happening on the planet, we are hacked in the most vulnerable people. and it's up to top looters to make sure the chrysler select these don't become even more likely. c war to just one more amazing thing the author provides for us, as long as we use it, offensively bunch, even areas where the res, very lead to water. some life is able to strive. we want to look at one particular plant that could prove surprising be useful to us. no doubt. you guessed it. if
9:41 am
not this weeks doing give it will give you the onset and a whole lot more that seems like prickly and spreading everywhere. the cactus has few friends and sign a goal. one exception is malik sonya. the young scientist and ecologist count gets enough of the spiky supplements, which he says full of potential when the soil and has been and just for my love became celebrated. all the prompts died except the comp time that's when sonya came up with the idea of doing something with them. if it go through, thank you. hopefully i see a few samples and containers down the middle will develop that 24 hours. i realized 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 i agree moment for the energy event, 100 environmental purposes,
9:42 am
is that everyone to me is that and is it big nausea is that i've in mental sonya grades different types of space, she's 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 they use for organic fast eliza . the test it says active nest. he's trying out the homemade biased by saliva on his own field. ready it's out, but it contributes to the restoration of the plants by capturing organic elements that are conducted to mineral elements of. i mean that's causing you to buy a guess from con size. ok. i don't panic stuff, eliza, to improve crops. relics on this concept is 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, or send us
9:43 am
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 and dry spills. bump in you. it is something new. that is right, sandra finances, and some firing from the edge of german cup to little bro lane had no thought to the experimental cultivation of what to known as like julian, those plans and the results look promising. these fun. the sa, preparing chick p seats for selling the plant is not native to central european
9:44 am
soils. they need to advise that will be about to area to help it convert nitrogen from the f. like 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 plants from the lake you family. by the 20th must be crowded, such as a broad beans or peas, which are native here. the bacteria are already present in the 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 8 of those special bacteria. that's why in europe, crops like peas and beans were long a favorite with fall on this as they actively improve slow quality rather than leaching out nutrients. so these chick peas are grown without onto official
9:45 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. these are the ones the off time, so we try to plant them around 2 and a half centimeters, deep in moist soccer to get the germination process going to. and the advantage of this variety is that it loves drysdale oil. it'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 weather. there's an email so so we're looking for leg rooms that we can easily market. i can come and ones that are more heat and drug resistant, and broad beans are peaceable in order to food absent on those. and that's how we
9:46 am
arrived at the chick pee and comes and gets got a lot of uses and it's nutritious. what on 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 logo classic asparagus. first, the chef brings out an appetizer. freshly baked bread with homeless made using chick pays from band hot to fund a month. it says from dice, perfect, wonderful. the locally sourced restaurant hopes to feature chick peas on his menu more often in future and a few kilometers away. the next harvest is already sprouting. what's that? what is the below the surface? we can already see the 1st roots. moments of acting is a crop scientist at the live minute center for agricultural landscape research. his
9:47 am
team is acutely interested in the chick piece here. what does open legal mean northern lights, so we want to find out if like goodness can help make agriculture more sustainable and 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 and in fact muscles 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 credit on about 2 percent of gym and the crumpling in recent decades, cold grain and rape seat of the come so widespread. the many like items are imported. the above all. so it means the state of mind is the one that's bas,
9:48 am
trusting, 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 next 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. or even with the advice of chrome system, scientists from the agricultural research center. it's proving a challenge for the farm run by band, 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 on 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 surprised just isn't what we need to break even with it. but it's pioneering work doing. yeah, but we know that we also see creating a sustainable value chain is something elizabeth failing or knows
9:49 am
a lot about her id or southern future protein which crops will not only be grown here, but also cleaned packaged and sold as a sale to enable it makes total sense from the nutritional standpoint, to cut down on meats on an increase plump production stagen listen, this is does have to smell. that's why, really again, 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 chick peas. is amelia big? now, a few years ago, she founded her own chick piece, next company in the eastern german city of lives, which 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 of the lease, my feeling helpless, member comfortable. what do i have here is how awful everything's going to be force
9:50 am
brought us on the floor and you rarely get any specific ideas. the solution when it help. yes, i found something with my business where i feel confident that i'm on the right path. savannah, i am proposing a group of sons that has the potential to counteract climate change. the next spot you of crunchy climate friendly chick peas is sent on its way to a big gym and supermarket chain an immediate, 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 trans fullness fields while 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 isn't all sees, well,
9:51 am
the salt content mix it on usable for human animals and most plants and it's not true states, but there is a solution. europe lodges to solve nation plans in spain and due to drought, best. yeah. it's running around the block, extreme heat and droughts do not the people in cities respecting major population centers like to contest, london, beijing, tokyo cape town, and boss alona and to cities located by the c. one solution the especially promising selling nation the selling ation. 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 bonsa. lona are only one quarter full. you saw a cheese, a rationing the was, is the industry and i will quote you,
9:52 am
but also for local residents and to raise i know i'm, it wasn't shot because like it's during the city and even if i did come here to have on by there is no, ortho, so it's kind of disappointed to find that residents of bonds, so oh no, still have drinking water to a tool is thanks in punch through the sun a nation of see what will to the plant email but that stay open to god is the knowledge extend 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 not with people. so just to see what was the is heated up. salt has a very high voiding point. well, water already of operates a 100 degrees celsius. as the water vapor is full through a series of membranes into high pressure in order to filter out the salt
9:53 am
things to a sufficient renewable energy technology. you'll play, god can seems 25 percent less power than other plans have it signs but even then the sign 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's simply gets pumped back out to sea, not far off the coast. so now we're seeing more plants say why there are other solutions. i'm so so in my opinion, you should use discrimination only for the very, very crush of me. it's like bringing both up to the pollution and the and the medium of what the potential because there are other sources of law. what's her you can use other sources. oh, other methods, you know, type of 2017 years of drought, a trunk water levels in cape town,
9:54 am
the rest of was to below 10 percent. the region was set to run out of water in 5 months. due to the authorities to this building decided, nation puns. but they chose a different solution. residents were told to drastically couch them will to consumption, no one from a showering more than twice a week. and the topic has to save as if your life depends on the city also invested in better wastewater treatment tons today the downs are well filled and disaster has been evicted. now, meanwhile, in barcelona to choose and likewise changing. we cannot say, okay, we're going to be disadvantaged on 2 feet of the 8 museum captain and supposedly 20 medium stories plus whatever that we quoted on the industry just with the sending nation that's that's, that's what that what about the work catalonia is now also looking to reduce its
9:55 am
will to usage a recent studies. so 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 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 to select and across. gone. see you next week, sometime, some place until then. do stay in touch, visiting all social media channels. for now, i am sandra 3. nobody from comp hello, frontier. in uganda. it's the
