and investigation concluded that it was suicide of the fine give rise to don't really have to go see start january 27th on the and there is no denying aids offline. it's an irish ins off me to though i know 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 tree. nobody will ride to in comp. hello. you're
5:31 pm
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 cold thing is on the shortage of drinking water, but they are some citizens. this is want, we've got for you in the show today we meet the people tossing into issues we want to resolve in so that we find out how to make the most on the drought loving come to us. and we see how you, of the biggest selling nation planned aims to point the song of barcelona. a 1st rate sold texas doing 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
5:32 pm
the tools on the population equal africa venture deep into the northern. so done to learn more about a centuries old, underground, tricia troll, the people that are determined to present us or 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 piece of reflect a stretching from egypt through a sedan, to chat and libya, called the newbie on the sandstone. uncle far, you will discover during the i'd really in the 1950s. you'll just of delta 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 the sourcing the of the region during the test really in 2004 and low guy smiley . i'm kind of in the northern location, the depth to 60 meters or less. can you imagine one irrigation system that can
5:33 pm
irritate 50 heck, because the guy that's unique and it indicates the powerful flow the reservoir and the 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 sight of mid to most of it. he owns, feels covering several hundreds heck says and can draw a wide range of fruits and vegetables from fava beans to soak them. and i'll follow the dcf is mainly grown wheat. this is up on the how the culture the want to should be on how to properly, you know, so i was one is more of them, are you buying that to? i mean, if you, you guys could funds like 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
5:34 pm
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 has built over the years. it's soft cost him the equivalent of 450 years. but after that, the village of the from us get the water for free. the new be in sunstone, upper flat is the world's largest forcing. what every silver means that what accumulates and here hundreds of thousands of years ago and became chopped underground by the uncle funds. what the results are finite was some areas of 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 site teen 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 create a new law on what to use in 2022 of a seen by the minister feel free to get on. what are resources so far they have built that to you at small was for the public,
5:35 pm
and 6 deep was for research purposes. and i think i'm as a captain and i'm going to dress up. oh wow. what we'll say. they don't need the possibility of weed production in the nose and then rely on the state of the house with whom i left, the gosh, we'd actually menu. and then we found out that we can grow more than $210000.00 take to is always in some areas that we are using the water of the aquifer. mean that without causing a 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 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, even northern states to money tell what to use your limit through the electronic devices spread out over the entire nose and state
5:36 pm
of that are intended to monitor the changes occurring in the winter level. you'll see increasing the certification linked to climate change means what is more important than ever in this region. if the forcing water from the huge buckle flap 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 a 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 i 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 monitoring crisis. the shepherd from the somali region of faith yoga pleaded for
5:37 pm
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. i have nothing. i will. so how can i help the school alada? yeah. do you have co ha, xtreme, weather events like the stroud 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 pleasure and 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 through the will 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
5:38 pm
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 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 not to surpassed because it creates optimal conditions for disasters like droughts 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 fault easily throughout the year,
5:39 pm
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. droughts 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 solo 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 if you can, shepherds are currently struggling with how much i do. i don't know how to do
5:40 pm
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 that if we continue business as usual, if we don't realize that's actually a humming old planet, we are 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. c war to just one more amazing thing the author provide for us, as long as we use it sensitively. bunch, even areas where the res, very lead to what 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
5:41 pm
not, this week's doing give it will give you the answer and a whole lot more that painfully prickly and spreading everywhere. the cactus has few friends in senegal. 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 soil and has been it just for me. i love it came, celebrated all the pump 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. i see the 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 accurate
5:42 pm
know, make sure the energy, the about 100 environmental purposes is that everyone to me is that and is, it ignores the is that either the mental tonya gray is different types of space. she's on a small experimental fund of to help us thing 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 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 to mineral elements of. i mean that's causing you to buy a guess from conk twice a cooking. i don't panic stuff, eliza, to improve products. metrics on this concept is tailored to small farmers and remote regions. he wants to pump to heck tests and instead of just a minute. so his cock, this innovation project seeing about just the beginning and
5:43 pm
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 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 on some fire and are in from near the german cup to la valley. and they'll start to experimental cultivation of what to known as like jimmy, those plans and the results look promising
5:44 pm
these farm, 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 to area to help it convert nitrogen from the yeah, which reduces the need for such devices. the form is hope, the simple tweak will allow them to grow more the sustainable protein, which plans from the like you family. by the 20th must be products such as 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 so quality rather than
5:45 pm
leaching out nutrients. so these chick peas are grown without onto official fertilizes, which are energy and emissions intensive to produce a plus if all goes well, the farmers 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 top. 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 that talk, 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 weather. there's an email so, so we're looking for leg rooms that we can easily market. i can come and ones that
5:46 pm
are more heat and drug resistant and broad beans are peaceable in the food epson on those. and that's how we arrived at the chick p and comes in. it's got a lot of uses and it's nutritious. what on what better way to prove that point them with a trip to the village restaurant for lunch? not on the menu today. chicopee curry with local classic asparagus. first, the chef brings out the appetizer. freshly baked bread with homeless, made using chick peas from van hot to fund a month. it says from specific tast perfect, wonderful. the locally sourced restaurant hopes to feature chick peas on these menu more often in 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
5:47 pm
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 like humans can contribute so much nitrogen to the soil, thanks to the bacteria on that 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 crow, known about 2 percent of gym and the problem in recent decades, cold grain and rape seat of the come so widespread. the many like rooms are
5:48 pm
insulted. the above all. so it means the state of mind is the one that's best trust and us 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 upsets, and there was a market for it. and one in rolanda, for example, beans or growing on a large scale because there 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
5:49 pm
a sustainable value chain is something elizabeth failing also knows a lot about her id or southern future. approaching mich crops will not only be grown here, but also cleaned packaged and sold to enable. it makes total sense from the nutritional standpoint of your so to cut down on meat and increase plump production stagen, listen, the task is does have to be smooth. that's why when again, as a regional, sustainable source of protein comes in to use. it's growing 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 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,
5:50 pm
member comfortable. what do you as a here is how awful everything's going to be 1st 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 and i am promoting a group of sense 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 media vague. and it's also hoping that dr. mine for all varieties of like you and we'll catch on in gemini, and the pharmacy will be able to sustain that each one's fullness feels well the time is right. me. those next loop tasty. i'd like to try them myself. and we just heard, like, you don't need lots of water for they do need something. oh, we do have plenty. just think of our oceans. 97 percent of both the water is all
5:51 pm
sees. well, the salt content mix it on usable for human animals and most plans, and it's not through the states, but there is a solution. europe lodges to solve nation plan isn't spain, and due to drought, but see if it's running around the block. extreme heat and droughts do not the people in cities respecting major population centers like to contest, london staging. tokyo cape town and boss alona on the 16th, located by the c. one solution looks especially promising celebration the celebration these combination of catalonia in ne, spain is one area in europe where climate change is getting hot. the region isn't the correct because the 3 year drought reservoir is that supply the city of bonds, a low to are only one quarter full. you saw a cheese,
5:52 pm
a rationing. the was it the industry and i will quote you but also for local residents and to raise i know i'm, it wasn't shot because like it's during the city and everybody come here to have on by. there is no ortho. so it's kind of disappointing. the fact that residents of bonds still have drinking water to a tool is thank same punch to the decent a nation of c will to the plant 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 this to see will, to is heated up, salt has a very high boiling point. well, water already of operate at a 100 degrees celsius. a vapor as falls through
5:53 pm
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 when you're pressing more plans, let's say why there are other solutions. i'm so so in my opinion, you should use this with emission 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 or other methods, you know,
5:54 pm
type of 2017 years of drought, 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 the dams on well filled and disaster has been evicted for now. me want in barcelona to choose and likewise changing. we cannot say ok, we're going to be the destination 2 feet of the 8 medium captains across the 20 median tories plus whatever that would go to them. the industry just with the sending nation that's that's,
5:55 pm
that's what that what about the work catalonia is 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 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 and thoughts visiting all social media channels for now, i am sandra. nobody from comp hello frontier. in uganda, it's the
