able to leave and cross peacefully without having to fear another war. the there is no denying dates offline, it's an iris ins. ok, me too though. i know 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, cos. i'm chris, i'm calling to you from a very with across in gunner and i am sandra 3. nobody will ride to income prolong you're going to thank you for joining us. once again,
2:31 pm
whether you live in africa or in you, in a city or a funding community, when the rains don't come, it brings crooked thing is on the shortage of drinking water bottle. they are some citizens. this is what we've got for you in the show. today. we meet the people talking into issues. we want to resolve seems to die. we find out how to make the most on the drought loving concepts. and we see how you of the guest this sunday nation found things to point this song of barcelona of fust repoed, texas to an a read crisis redid region. so done was 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 venture deep into the northern. so done to
2:32 pm
learn more about a centuries old, underground, tricia troll the people that are determined to please us for 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 piece of reflect the stretching from egypt for us have done to chat and libya called the new bmw, 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 head one irrigation system that can irritate 50 heck, because the that's unique and it indicates the powerful flow,
2:33 pm
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. almost like up to have fees side of mid the 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 so them. and as far as the dcf is mainly growing, we live is the how the culture, the water should be nice to properly, you know. so as long as it's more of them, if you find that, i mean, if you, you asked advance method, so you have new technology used by what it can be. say, it 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 would have been run the or the fewest and i'll do her fees so you can either get his fuels regularly thanks to the wells
2:34 pm
. he has built over the years its source cost him the equivalent of 450 years. but after that, the village of the farmers get the water for free. as the new bin sunstone of a flat is the was largest false in what every silver means that what accumulates and here hundreds of thousands of years ago and became shopped 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 alpha could last another 200 years. but that is near the siding nor easy to a long time. transitional agreements and i you went 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 a seen have by the ministry of you to get on. what are resources so far they have built that to you, it's small, was for the public. and 6 deep was for research purposes. and i like i'm,
2:35 pm
i look at that and i'm going to dress up. oh wow, what we'll see. and then you don't need the possibility of weed production in the nose and then rely on the state of the house of whom i loved god, we'd actually value. 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 geologists of dollars on there regularly visit the villages. even northern states to money tell what to use your limit through the electronic devices. i remember it out over the entire nose in state of that are intended to monitor the changes occurring in the winter level
2:36 pm
. 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 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 and other places are getting dry of buying the. the was 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 until she monitoring crisis the shepherd from the somali region. the 50 of you pleaded for help. earlier this year was
2:37 pm
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. i have nothing at all. so how can i help the school 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 joke. east africa hasn't been met 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 a river and one of its white us regents has run dry and some parts, or taiwan,
2:38 pm
or bamboo 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 surpass 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
2:39 pm
this means is that you basically get these kind of dryer periods between rape. all events of allows for a longer period for the soils to drive down. and that can also increase throughout risk and severity. when i draw that 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. a lot of 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 day 0. these types of conditions can raise 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 anything other than being
2:40 pm
a nomadic shepherd. i'm not educated and i don't know how to find that. this is the only way i know how to survive. in somali, the shepherds 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 we are coming on the planets, we have hacked in the most vulnerable people and it's up to top looters to make sure, the crisis let these become even more likely war to just one more amazing thing the auth provide for us, as long as we use it sensitively. but even areas where the rece very lead to what some life is able to strive, we want to look at one particular plant that could prove surprisingly useful to us . no doubt you guessed it. if not this weeks doing debates will give you the onset
2:41 pm
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. oh, that's enough, that's the spiky substance, which he says the fullest potential. when the soul in his village for my love became celebrated, all the pumps died except the comp time. that's when sonya came up with the idea of doing something with them. thank you. what was it? i sealed a few samples in containers down the middle. we'll develop that 24 hours. i realize 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 we utilize the catalyst for an accurate normal energy event under environmental purposes. is that evident to me is that is
2:42 pm
it ignores the bundle. tonya gray is different types of cheese on a small experimental fall off the harvesting that crushed to make clean energy and a bio gas pump. the solids and liquids breathtaking us. they used to work on it fast. eliza tests, it's effectiveness. he's trying out a homemade firefight, eliza on his own field. ready itself, but it contributes to the restoration of plants by capturing organic elements that are converted into mineral elements. i mean it as carbon you to fire guess from conk tie so cooking i don't comics stuff, eliza to improve crops. relics on this concept has tailored to small farmers and roommate sandra finances and some pioneering from the edge of german cop to love bro lane have now started the experimental cultivation of watson known as like julian, those plans and the results look from is that these
2:43 pm
found the saw preparing chicopee seats for selling as the plant is not native to central european soils. they need to advise that will be of up to you to help it convert nitrogen from the yeah, which reduces the need for such a lines as the farmers hope. the simple tweak will allow them to grow more of the sustainable protein which plants from the lake you, family. the size of the 20th must be crowded, such as a broad beans or peas, which are native here. the bacteria are already present to 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 plant. 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
2:44 pm
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 fertilizes, which are energy and emissions intensive to produce. plus, if all goes well, the problem is, can also do without artificial irrigation. the chick, the plant evolved in middle eastern climates and can get 5 with little rain full. these are the ones the off time. we try to print 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 talk leaving chick peas on grow much here in germany. the thought to change in future as human induced climate change is causing hot and dry weather isn't email so, so we're looking for lake rooms that we can easily market. i can come and ones that
2:45 pm
are more heat and drug resistant. and broad beans are peaceable in order to food absent 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 a lot better way to prove that point them with a trip to the village restaurant for lunch. not on the menu today. chick p. curry with logo classic asparagus. first. the chef brings out then appetizer. freshly baked bread with homeless, made using chick peas from van hot to fund a month. it says from dish 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 tavis is already sprouting. once i otis the below the surface, we can already see the 1st roots a moment so that cling is
2:46 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 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, 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 credit on about 2 percent of gym and the crumpling in recent decades, cold grain and rape seat of the come so widespread,
2:47 pm
the many like items are imported to a puzzle. so it means that state of mind is the one that's bas, 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, 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 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 in surprise. just isn't what we need to break even with it. but it's pioneering work doing. yeah,
2:48 pm
but we know that we also see creating a sustainable value chain is something elizabeth failing of knows a lot about her id or southern future approaching, which crops will not only be grown here, but also cleaned packaged and sold. and 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 snap. that's why, really again, as a regional, sustainable source of protein comes in from the t. yeah. 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 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
2:49 pm
the climate change often lease my feeling helpless member comfortability with a here is how awful everything's going to be force 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 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 you on in gemini and the pharmacy will be able to sustain that be transponent 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
2:50 pm
think of our oceans 97 percent of both. the water is the last. please. well, the salt content mix it on usable for humans, animals, and most plants, and it's not through the states. but there is a solution. europe largest asylum nation plants is in spain. and due to drought, let's see if it's running around the block. extreme heat and droughts. do you notice the people in cities that are expecting 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 that especially promising celebration the celebration these 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 a drought rest of why is that supply the city of bonds so low to are only one quote,
2:51 pm
a full this all which ease of rationing the walls of the industry and i will go to the producer for local residents and to raise i know i'm, it wasn't shot because like it's during the city and they've, anybody come here to have fun, but there is no ortho. so it's kind of disappointed to find that residents of bonds, a low net still have drinking water to a tool is thanks in part to the dissemination 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 the see will to is heated up, salt has a very high boiling point. well, water already evaporates a 100 degrees celsius. as the water vapor is flows through
2:52 pm
a series of membranes into high pressure in order to filter out the salt things to a sufficient renewable energy technology. you'll play, god can seems 25 percent less power than other plans to get signed 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 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 this information only for the very, very crucial needs. like bringing both up to the pollution and the and the medium of what the actual because there are other sources. all 5 of what there you can use other sources. oh, other methods. in october 2017 years of drought,
2:53 pm
a trunk water levels in cape town, 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 does not a nation pounds, 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 guns are 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 build this international 2 feet in the eighty's. i've got that i'm supposed to be going to be doing dories plus whatever that we've got you on the industry, just with the 70 make sure that's that's,
2:54 pm
that's what that will not work. catalonia is now also looking to reduce its 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, for so low and across. gone to 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 from comp hello frontier in uganda the
