christmas announcer: this is al jazeera. welcome to the newshour i'm richelle carey in doha. our top stories right now - bombings kill 13 in the iraqi capital. some lawmakers blame i.s.i.l. for those attacks the bashar al-assad government asked to stop targetting civilians after the shelling of yarmouk the number of migrants rescued in the mediterranean soars. 3700 saved by e.u. boats. in sport the so-called fight

of the century turned tout be business as unusual for floyd mayweather extending his record to 48 fights in the victory of manny pacquioa. at least 13 people have been killed in two explosions in the irane capital baghdad. they went off minutes apart in a commercial area. the first was a suicide car bomb detonating near restaurants and cafes filled with customers. the second in the same neighbourhood. baghdad witnessed a spike in bombings in the past week. 34 people have been killed. the wave of attacks begone on thursday. two -- begone on thursday. two people were killed. the western sunni majority distribute was attacked killing five people.

three separate car bombs killed a total of 11 people in eastern shia neighbourhoods including an ice-cream shop and south of town a bomb blast near a cafe killed three. imran khan is live from baghdad. who exactly is blaming i.s.i.l.? >> well, what we are hearing from is certain shia law makers, particularly one, who says that oil fighters are disguising themselves as displaced people coming into baghdad and mounting attacks. this man is a shia mp. he said that there was a car traced back to anbar and said that that is proof. he is not providing concrete proof to the media to suggest that that is the case. sunni lawmakers refute this. i've been down to some camps housing the displaced, and what

they are saying is look around you. these are women, children young babies housed in the camps. they are not i.s.i.l. there's a blame game between certain lawmakers and certain sunni members, and what people are saying is the sectarian nature is hyped up. that is very worrying. >> if it is i.s.i.l. how significant would that be? >> i.s.i.l. claimed responsibility for the attacks. according to social media sites used in the past. they were saying they were behind the attacks on thursday and sunday which took place. it is significant that they managed to get into the capital. it's not unusual. car bomb attacks in the capital before they have been able to get people in. what they are not saying is they are using i.s.i.l. - freeing

people were anbar to mount the attacks. if they were using displaced people they'd hype that up. we have seen it in the past. i.s.i.l. don't hide behind the tactics, they trumpet it loudly. i'm imran khan from baghdad. >> the government has to help not use the people as cover. >> there is a humanitarian crisis obvious for anyone in the world that iraq about 250,000 has been displaced from their homes because of their fighting with i.s.i.s. and they have their territories, and secondly, which is an important issue is they must have camps or some sort of support, governmental support for their

resistance to be an iraqi - on the iraqi home. if there's a demonstration of i.s.i.s. in the refugees or inside the displaced area it's the facility of the government to do everything to help them and to convince them that they must fighties. if we are talking about the security situation in baghdad and also in iraq there is a real infiltration of i.s.i.s. inside not only the sunni area but the shi'ite area. it cannot be stopped by only security measurements. it also can be stopped by political issues and participations of the sunni, more sharing the security decision inside the iraqi cabinet. that is why it started from 10 years, there's no real

responsible government for the iraqis for the whole iraqis a member of the iraqi parliament and a former national security visor joins us via skype from baghdad. what will be the basis of this theory that i.s.i.l. is in the capital because it is taking advantage of the displacement of so many that are fleeing the government offensive against i.s.i.l. >> well there is not thought of that in our mind or in the intelligence circles or security circles, and the military circles. there are sleepers sleeping cells inside baghdad working for i.s.i.s. and i.s.i.s. had also staged the

exodus from ramadi to baghdad by throwing fears and spreading the fears of decapitation coming to decapitate you, the ramadi people and all this. that forced people to leave ramadi and tens of thousands, to come to baghdad in one go. they managed to infiltrate the exodus to baghdad. >> sir, if what you are saying is true if the accusations are true what you are saying about i.s.i.l. what should the government do about this? >> i think the government should be meticulous in security clearance from those coming from anbar and they should be very, very careful in giving any security clearance to these guys who wanted to live the

refugees 99.99% of people are innocent people. they are refugees whatever you have to conquer the general displace the people. >> thank you. appreciate it the u.n. says the syrian government must stop using explosive weapons in the yarmouk camp. the camp on the outskirts of damascus was attacked overnight on friday. the u.n.'s relief agency says it's alarmed for the safety of civilians. the secretary-general condemned the shelling of the camp. thousands were forced to leave after armed groups entered the camp. the syrian government is accused of dropping barrel bombs of gas on a town by helicopter.

in areas where turkey and others are making gains. >> reporter: medics washed the body of a man they say was attacked with gas. it's the second alleged chemical attack on the up to town this week and not the first time concerns have been raised. in 2013 united nations investigators confirmed the use of sarin agent outside the capital of damascus without establishing who carried out the attack. >> the u.s. accused the government of attacking the syrian people with chemical weapons. accusations dismissed by the

leadership in damascus. last month united nations security council ambassadors were shown the video. doctors trying to revive three victims of an apparent chlorine gas attack. it was too late. >> rebels say chemical attacks increased in northern syria following gains by the opposition in idlib province. that is a military par i had on the outskirts of damascus. the biggest show of force by syrian rebels weeks after capturing the city of idlib. the army is tasked of securing the capital once it's toppled. >> translation: we stand united. they want to spread influence and have a persian state established. i assure you we'll fight and

defeat them. across the country rebels are shifting tactics. in the north armed factions merged under the army of congrestes to capture idlib. now the eyes are set on latakia. >> the huss has in the past reframed from arming the fight pers. -- fighters. they were concerned about the weapons landing in the hands of an al qaeda affiliate. nusra is joining. saudi arabia qatar and turkey provide assistance for rebels. fighters hold ground in major cities. more groups are considering joining forces to defeat bashar

there are frequent power cuts. electricity is out most of the time. many patients died. >> reporter: many patients at the clinic have kidney failure and rely on dialysis to stay alive. >> the lack of fuel impacted the center's operation, namely the dialysis process. and as a result patients are behind their scheduled cesses. the life of many patients is under grave threat. >> the dialysis center has back up generators. there's no fuel to power them. >> the center is in ruins, the power is out. generators out of order. >> there's no electricity. patients are lined up. the center's generators are not working because there's no fuel. >> like other cities in yemen they have been without electricity for a third week. some say the houthis and fighters loyal to former president ali abdullah saleh are

seizing fuel for hosts and stockpiling it for use in the fight against pro-government forces exacerbating the suffering of people who are already ill the egyptian army says it killed 29 fighters in 11 days of raid. 133 suspects have been arrested in the latest phase of an i can't remember-long crackdown. groups based in sinai have been attacking forces since president mohamed mursi was overthrown in 2013. coming up in the newshour... >> i'm in kathmandu. and i'll met a largest known group of children to have made it from the earthquake zone to the capital. freedom for nearly 300 boko haram girls from their captors. in sport can usain bolt avoid a rare defeat on the athlete icts track.

to nepal, where the only international airport has been forced to stop rejecting large jets because of a backlog of flights. growing numbers of flights are not reaching the interiors of the mountainous countries, it's been eight days since the earthquake struck. 7,000 are known to have died. 14,000 injured. children are often the most vulnerable victims in the disaster and the earthquake left behind a new generation of orphans. we is this report from the quake zone. >> reporter: thanking god for their survival the young girls live in a distribute several kilometres outside the capital.

their school was destroyed by the quake. sabrina, how frightened were you? >> translation: when the quake happened we were studying it was frightening. the teacher let us out. we had to stand in the rain. >> reporter: now they are in kathmandu. they can't go home, because the road is destroyed and parents are missing. they are being looked after in the capital by this woman. she set up a shelter for girls over 20 years ago as a refuge for victims of human trafficking. she is taking in survivors of the quake and asked the government to bring girls that need a safe place to say to her. >> she is sleeping with them. the others are sleeping. at night if there's any big attacks, or the tremor you have to go out. i show them how to go out and i made a little drill for them the group of 12 survivors

are close and spend most of their time together. the shelter introduced lessons to give the girls structure, it's not all maths and science. they are tackling the arts. it is difficult for them they have been quiet since they arrived and don't have the heart to join in. these girls have been fortunate to find sanctuary among the ruins. there's more in a similar situation across nepal. >> an emergency coordinator for doctors without borders joins us from kathmandu. thank you for your time. we are reporting that a major hospital is not accepting cargo planes because of a backlog.

when you hear that how difficult has it been for you to get the supplies that you need. >> well it's not easy. we are used to this situation. and operating in the heart of the distributes -- districts. our first priority is the villages high up, which are isolated and destroyed. what we see there is that most severely and deadly wounded people are evacuated from the mountain. search and rescue did a good job, we think. what we see is what is caused by living conditions and the wounds. we address those people in those

villages, and what those people ask them for is food shelter pots and pans. we are not a foot distribution agency. we bring food and shelter material and high green material. we have access to helicopter and not all organizations have that. we have an inflatable - we flew in an inflatable hospital. if any patients in the villages is severe enough we evacuate the patients to the inflatable hospital. can you tell us about the inflatable hospital. can you describe what it is what it does? >> it's a complete hospital with everything in it. doctors, nurses surgeons and support. we can set it up in one day.

>> that's remarkable. you are saying that you are able to medically service the people but the need that you are seeing is for food and water. thank you for your time. we appreciate it. >> yes. you are welcome more migrants have been saved from the mediterranean sea, 3619 people were saved in separate operations. they were spotted off the coast of libya adding to numbers rescued this year. coast guard services are becoming overwhelmed by the larger numbers of refugees coming across the mediterranean in unsafe boats. arrivals are expect to triple the share. we explain the problems on the coast of the acknowledgian sea -- acknowledge yen sea.

>> it's the end of a journey. the greek coast guard plucks the 34 syrians from a raft 2km offshore. among them a man that drove with his parents from a town. >> translation: i'm coming from dead. i and my family are coming from dead. >> more than once their parents say men's threats have been cut before their eyes. they are not rich. they spend their savings on the crossing, $3,500. others choose to bypass the smugglers. the two men crossed the same night. all they had was a dingy, it's 5.5km from turkey to khost. the coast guard picked up 1500

so far. more than it collected all of last year because tactics have changed. last year we faced an invasion of fast boats. with a smuggler on board, and a kind of sophisticated transportation. we needed to deploy the patrol boats to tackle the situation and make hot pursuits as well smugglers tried to bulletproof the engine casings. the new method is to put migrants in rubber dinghies. as soon as they are spotted, they are told to slash their boat open with a knife. maritime demands then they are rescued. they are temporarily housing and feeding people in the hotel. it is overflowing. it is spent on a blanket, because there's no floor space.

the mayor says he's shaving money off the budget. people are sensitive to the fact that they are suffering. they are worried how is khost going to absorb the arrivals. >> 90% are from war zones and qualify for protection from refugees. greece and the united nations want them screened before they cross and sent to europe. no such policy is aired in brels yet. -- brussels yet 300 nigeria women and children captured by boko haram have been brought to safety. they arrived in a camp in the north-east. they are among 600 women and children rescued. the arrivals included two newborn. workers broke up a camp

housing asylum seekers from democratic republic of congo and burundi, they are moved to another camp that are putting up a fight. we have this report from durban. >> reporter: the fanss started to come down in the morning, the government wants to move people to the last remaining camps in durban for foreigners that fled recent attacks by local people. >> this man came to south africa in 2003. she has four children and came to the camp a month ago. >> how can they remove the danger for the kids. they are sleeping. kids are getting sick every day. >> many of the people are asylum seekers or refugees from the democratic republic of congo and burundi. they face conflict in their home countries and attacks against foreigners in a country where they hoped to be safe.

the government plan to move people to another camp has started in earnest. they are putting the last tent down and the people are refusing to move. >> our country is in the fight. there is a fight. burundi there's a fight. we can't go anywhere we can't stay here. we theed this country to be there -- we need this country to be there the united nations refugee agency has been trying to convince people in the camp to do what the government says. there is little food left and the aid volunteers have been told to stop cooking. >> one of the guys came and said we should not be cooking because they have closed the camp. >> so lord we pray we as a church... >> we would like to ask more water, because no water, no

life. we have kid. now they say they take away. >> police stood guard as the last tent came down. buses were sent to take the people away. they refused to go. they fear being attacked. they want to leave south africa and don't trust the government. it says it wants to register each person as part of its reintint grayings programme. the reality is they are putting them back into the communities, providing safety and security. >> as light fell, men lit fears and they huddled together for warmth. there is no trust. the people heard promises of protection many times before let's turn to weather now, with richard, who has more on flooding in cuba that will let up soon? >> well it's problematic, in

fact. if you have a look at the satellite, it doesn't look as bad as it did. it's an improving situation. we had 171mm of rain in two days compared with a may everything of 120mm. this system is still there, and is does look like it will continue to affect the region. so it's very slow moving. over the next 24 hours, it could intensify. it will not come as persistent rain but be a case of thunder storms. there's a lot around. pushing back to the north. the bahamas - where you see heavy rain we could look at 50mm of rain potential for much in excess of that. that weather system is given heavy rain. across south america there's an

active weather systems. argentina into the far south of brazil. heavy rains at the moment. that system will push away to the south-east brighter weather coming in for paraguay. looks as though you'll see heavy rain for the weekend. >> thank you very much. still ahead on al jazeera.

you're watching al jazeera. our top stories now. two explosions killed 13 people near rocky capital baghdad. the latest in a wave of attacks on thursday striking restaurants and customers. some blame i.s.i.l. fighters who they blame for infiltrating sunni refugees. the united nations says the syrian government must stop bombing the refugee camps packed with refugees. the camp was bombed overnight on friday. nepal's only international airport has been forced to stop accepting large jets because of

a bag log of aid flights. supplies are not reaching earthquake survivors in remote mountain areas. workers from yemen living in saudi arabia are given a chance to rebuild their lives. the king ordered that they be granted visas to work. we have this report. >> they were known by saudi arabia authorities as the unknown. they are mostly unemployed and wanted by immigration police. but the states of those estimated half a million illegal immigrants from yemen is about to change. the backdrop is the extensive suffering caused by the war in yemen. the saudi-led air strike launched the operation to restore the president to fire following a houthi coup in january. hundreds of civilians died. thousands lost their livelihoods and homes.

saudi arabia authorities say up to 30,000 yemenis arrive in saudi arabia every month. now most of them are fleeing the war. we escaped conditions in yemen, we have no rites or benefits. i feed 10 family members. i think the initiative would be good for us. ali spend time helping food vendors. when they don't need him, he wanders the streets looking for work. this young man is looking to make a living. >> you have to buy permits or remain in hiding as an illegal immigrant. >> they say they have only one thing to worry about, the loved

ones they left. this is the moment that every yemeni immigrant works for, it is when they come here to spend the fruits of their labour to families back home. >> about one million yemenis work in saudi arabia providing 1.4 million in remittances. this accounts for 4.2%. g.d.p. in a country where 50" of the population lives. the additional half a million make less money. the king's decision is likely to boost the economic status and a better chance of survival for their families. >> it's 100 days since the king came to power. it saw an attack against houthi rebels. they have made significant

changes in the royal power structure. joining me live from riyadh is a special. >> we appreciate your time. let's start with the reshuffling in the royal family it hasn't been that long. are we beginning to see the effects of that? >> well definitely everybody was seeing that shuffle in the government and, you know the first 100 days if you count the two most important thing, it's going to yemen, and the ding in line for the throne. i think he push the government. he needs to listen more to the youth in saudi arabia. and i think by appointing the young bloods in the country, they'll be closer to the cities and execute a lot that the saudi youth would like to see. probably in the first 100 days -

you know what normally we hear we'd like to see more jobs women would like to see more freedom in the making decisions, disengaged for the man. custody and all that stuff and become more coping with the first world, and they are assured of these capabilities. there is more needs to the saudis. they cater to the leaders. and they customize to the culture and the heritage of the saudis. in the first 100 days there's not too many points or decisions taken, but he made a decisive strong point. one of them is operational that desert storm, restoring hope in yemen. >> has that been a successful operation on the part of the saudis.

>> well, we can not claim 100% success. yes, the government did succeed in hitting the target from air. the toughest part is coming now. they are restoring hope. as you can see, in the past couple of days there has been a couple of conflict. saudi arabia needs a lot of help in understanding how they could exit yemen, and how they can, which is a big issue, putting food and medical supply in yemen, saudi arabia does not have the experience in helping another country to restore the country. we know the united states of america, and iraq and afghanistan had a hung problem exiting, and that came back to their land. in saudi arabia the government are working day to day in order to figure out what is the best solution by putting more money

into the fribs in yemen to contain themselves and push themselves back into the government or go on to a ground force. >> yes, as they say, it's easy to start a conflict. not easy to wrap it up thank you. >> a televised trial has begun in afghanistan of an alleged lynch mob. 49 people appeared in court on saturday including 19 police men accused of stopping the attack. prosecutors say 27-year-old was beaten to death and her charred body thrown into a river after being falsely accused of burning a copy of the koran, her murder triggered deaths about the treatment of afghan women. we are joined by an independent woman. what is the significance after being a trial of this time in

afghanistan thank you, it's been significant and i believe that it will bring a lot of positives for society. it's been a disappointing incident depressing for the family. at the same time there's a lot that the people can take lessons from and particular when you look at the trial yesterday and today. the judge was keep to go into details, interested to find the facts of the case was interested to go into the depths and know what happened. this is a positive sign for the future of judicial system in afghanistan. normally you see the judges decide the cases in a couple of minutes. here what you saw was different, and hopefully the trial will go on for one day. i believe it can be more than that where the judges and prosecutors can learn from it,

that this is how you have to conduct trials. the junls have to learn that the main job is to deliver in the best possible manner and deliver the ruling. >> you are saying that is seems the justice system is working as it should. also the victim is a woman. how unusual is that. let me rephrase this about the fact that there's a trial in relation to a woman. how significant is that. as you can see them we'll hopefully continue this conversation, e just lost him thousands of protesters attended a victory rally in baltimore. the celebrations in the u.s. follow the chief prosecutor's

decision to charge six police officers involved in the arrest of freddie gray. the african-american man later died from spinal injuries, sparking anger. ben henderson reports. -- john hendren reports. >> baltimore's streets turned from riots to rejoicing. what a difference a day makes. it will end at city hall. >> a day after six officers were charged in the death of freddie gray thousands filled a street and park. in a country where homicide charges are rare and convictions rarer, demonstrations considered the charges themselves a victory. there was simmering anger. >> it turned into a rallying point for us to continue to seek justice. we want justice, and whatever that looks like we can accept it. there was an air of released

celebrations. >> this is our day. she chose to support her husband. >> i'm japanese my husband is black. people say black lives matter. the protest was mirrored in new york chicago, ferguson, missouri and other towns where unarmed black men have been filled by police. sell brands are black and white. >> my grandmother was a young woman during the civil rights movement. in the '50s, and '60s. i asked her what she said. turned out she didn't do much of anything. it was disappointing for me. i don't want to say i did nothing. >> the police officer's union call the charges a rush to judgment. >> our officers like every other american citizen are entitled to due process. >> a case that seemed to involve a pattern of white police officers brutalizing young black men took a turn when the

photographs of six officers involved showed three were black. demonstrators say it doesn't matter it's not a case of black and white, but blue police blue. >> it's a human rights thing. everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. no matter your race or ethnicity. >> from baltimore and a movement that spanned the country, the test may come when the verdict comes down from the charge. burundi's government called for an end to violence in the capital vowing to crack down and arrest protesters. they have been rocked by days of protests because of pierre nkurunziza's plans to run for a third term. the army called for an end to the turmoil. >> still to come on al jazeera. andy with all the sport.

with the u.k. days away from an election, there is an argument that the european union, out of touch elite are responsible for the u.k.'s woes. laurence lee reports. >> reporter: grimsby, the word designed to fill the met poll

tan elite from london with gloom. the former fish market looks like a film set for after the zombie invasion. all this used to be buzzing with trade. all the buildings are empty. it's a waste of buildings. it's like a ghost town. >> reporter: there were limits on the amount of fish that could be caught. the anti-e.u. independence party regards this place as a prime tart. they are talking about regeneration. there may be an old crumb, but nothing to improve employment prospects. >> that is a powerful message. this used to be a main shopping streak. now row upon row of shops speak of a major town. successive governments offered no replacement for the fish industry. they don't have an electrified

railway to connect it to the rest of the country. >> it's not difficult for a country to blame the european union, but the real anger that they represent in england is deeper than that. it's that they are literally dozens of towns like this. they are not just in a different country to the one inhabited by the metropolitan elite in london. it's like a different planet. further down the leader is contesting this place. if he looses his party will fall party. the conservative party is taking sound jings by candidates who want to stay in the european union. the conservatives accepted logic that immigration causes unemployment and suggest that ukip got it wrong. >> it targets unemployment it's

gone down. >> it's different. snow it's wrong. >> i think ukip is wrong, it's a difference in mind set. ukip's mind-set is british cake is that size. it can be no bigger. i see the difference is it can be bigger we absorbed a lot more people. what of the art that it could resurrect areas like this. the labour candidate says it's a load of hypocrisy. some of the people that caused problems and they themselves have been the people for 16 years, and don't have multiple achievements. facts in london, where most economy is booming and ukip can't make inroads. they prosper in towns abandoned by the governments where there's

hardly a foreign face to be seen. if they looked after them more perhaps they wouldn't have ukip to worry about now. >> time for sport, and andy and the fight of the century is done. >> was it the fight of the century? >> i don't know. >> i think the hype won. it was billed as the fight of the century, it was pretty much business as unusual. three judges giving may whether the decision extending his unbeaten record by 48 fights after a controlled display of counterpunching. this was a sixth defeat for manny pacquioa. they were hampered by a shoulder industry. >> i fault a good fight. i did my best. the people are happy. even though i heard the

shoulder i didn't complain but, you know it's part of the game. >> i was the better man, more calculated fighter, took my time basically using a jab. my love and passion for boxing is not the same, like it once was. this is my job, and i have to go out there and be at my best when i do my job. >> hopefully a man still in love with boxing is philip a sports writer in manila. the judges have this in favour of floyd mayweather is that how you saw it. what has the reaction been in the philippines? >> well first of all, good evening from manila. we are lucky that it's night fall the defeat of all the filipinos - basically it's a sad nation. pride has been pricked and the

judges did get it right. it's a sad fact. we have to admit that floyd mayweather won the match manny pacquioa talked of a shoulder injury do you think he looked restricted in the way he fought? >> he might have been but manny is not one to give excuses. floyd stuck to his game plan picking apart manny pacquioa from long distances, and when he weighed in, floyd mayweather clinched and disengaged manny. that frustrated him, and that happened in the whole flight. i thought he was defeated. does he need to carry on. do you think he will fight again. right now it's a possibility. i know he does not want to end the career on a sour note. he will be looking to fight one

more time. but the best advice is to take a few days off. this was a legacy fight. he's taken a couple of losses. tarnishes the reputation as one of the greatest of all time. i think he'll fight one more time. >> he seemed to have the crowd on his side in vegas. he's a legend in the philippines, do you think he'll step up his career in boxing. ris career is up and running. many has a lot of interests, he's looking for a seat in the senate. he has to focus on a good thing and get back to business in manila. >> thank you for that

the reining n.b.a. champion the san francisco spurs have been knocked out. there was a little between the side star players scoring 27. despite missing a large part of the game it was tight until the end, duncan keeping the spurs level. the returning group got the better of him. shooting over duncan. a second left to win it 111-109. >> i came back. blake asked me if i was all right. i thought about the team and all the things we have been through. i know that if there was any other guy on the team, you know in a situation like this yes wouldn't have laid down. they tried to find a way. chelsea can win the game. they need three points to

guarantee a fifth championship, chelsea at home to crystal palace. >> we need a victory. points which we lost obviously. we want to finish as soon as possible. if you can do it at home better. we have two matches at home. >> usain bolt suffered a rare defeat on the athletic track, albeit at the world relay championships in the bahamas. beaten by the u.s.a. al jazeera america are the reining world and olympic champions. they wickets served on game two and three, bowling england out for 257. windies in all sorts of trouble.

dismissed for 189. they just started as england absolutely collapsed in their second innings. 39/5 at the close. that's a lead of 107 runs. >> getting over to them is a big psychological boost for us in the back of their mind. we may be able to put pressure on them. i think that gives you a bit of a cushion with 200. but obviously we'd like 250 300. >> american pharaoh won the kentucky derby in front of a record crowd of 170,000 people. prerace favourite held off rivals. that is the second part of horse racing's triple crown. more from me later. that is the sport for now. >> that was exciting enough. thank you.

peru - century's old technology is bringing water to one of the largest desert cities. 9.5 million residents. they are taming ancient canals -- tapping ancient canals. we fist farmers who are paying -- visit farmers from a tiny village making it possible ancient peruvians stored water. the canals date back to the 7th century, and the peasant farmers are restoring and keeping them. it's a main source of water. >> we are cleaning the way from rocks so the water runs and doesn't overflow. 4,000 meters above sea level ancient andians let the water through the canals strait into rocky areas where filtration is high. the ground is a sponge. the technique is one reason why they are so efficient. the bottom of the canals is pore

outlines allowing the water to filter into the ground. it will resurface weeks or months later in springs down the mountains. the springs centuries old reservoirs during the rainy season and non-governmental agencies helped farmers to restore 10 canals in the area. the recovery costing 20,000. the investment is peanuts for a reservoir needed in the mountains. the filtration helps the water to end up here. one of only three rivers that provide water to the capital. lima is the largest city. experts say water is guaranteed until 2025. if they could be replicated lima and the coast can benefit. >> if we compare the capacity to
