3:06 pm
the climate crisis which claimed its 1st victim water, the demand is going straight up and the supply is going straight down. i mean, it is dark, it's stark. located oh, we're interested in from here into our budget by water farmers destroyed while others might adopt to climate reco breaking the way in today. 70 percent of the pure water that is used to human consumption. it has become the most coveted resource on the planet. all me
3:07 pm
try not doing anything that requires water to die and say, hey, you won't be wearing any clothes. you might be using it all the time. you might be driving a car, might be living in a house. we won't be having breakfast will be having lunch. we'll be having dinner, water and everything that we do me to save humanity. wall street want to start a revolution. make water profitable and create watermark. it's just like oil, mark, water falls from the sky, therefore it should be fray. whenever i hear that i always say diamonds occur in nature and they are not free me. it's a financial product like any other financial product coming late around i want
3:08 pm
to was $95.00 later than just at the beginning of this water financial revolution. ah, what about the guy that can't afford it back? i still needs water. ah, the blue gold rush has begun with. can anyone instruct the human right to water means that it's not a charity. it's an issue of justice. this is the issue of our time. this is the crisis of our time. with financial pressure, the human mobilization rising, the battle over water has already begun. who will come out on top of the planet? the people on the markets. he thought the hot weather was bad this weekend. just wait until tomorrow. the 1st day of our he wave is expected to be incredibly uncomfortable and potentially dangerous. and because you merely very hot today,
3:09 pm
it's moving in from the mid west where they've been dealing with the sweltering heat. and now that it's moving here to the east coast sequence, dig around for several days, becoming a full blown make more than a commodity listed on the stock exchange bet on its price. and if wall street replicates the australian model, ah, ah, he jumbling yona now st. money and you find it ever since the subprime crisis causing economic ruin for countries and individuals. the financial giants have been looking for new areas to invest in in june 20 o 8, the investment bank, goldman sachs, starts to one. is water, the new oil the firm invites his top plans to take
3:10 pm
a back on the future. ah, goldman sachs, the conference. that was me. i used to work at goldman sachs and in 2008, that was a conference that i held there is this absolute intuitive appeal that says population growth is outstripping, the water supply. that must mean companies are engage in the water business. are a sure thank that there can't ness they get mesmerized by these megatron appeals in water is water. the next oil, we set it up as a question and then mostly dismissed it. water does not have sophisticated trading market and has no substitutes. that questions not going to go away, which is probably not ready for it yet. goldman
3:11 pm
sachs and it's investors must wait. public opinion is not ready. it, it's not until 2015 and the international climate change conference in paris that the well leaders finally declare a state of emergency. we are here. we are now replace on short term interest behind the air that our young people will breathe in the food that they will eat in the water that they will drink and the hopes and dreams that sustain their lives. then we won't be too late for them. in the developed world for the last 100 years, we haven't had to think about our water or worry about our water. it's been essentially unlimited wherever we want it whenever we want it. it's been really
3:12 pm
inexpensive. no one thinks about their water bill. they don't say, oh, take a shorter shower, the water's too expensive. i think that euro is over climate change is going to have a huge impact on water availability around the world. the same amount of water is going to be available in the big picture, but we don't live in the big picture. we live in a specific place. we raise our food in a specific place. and so the movement of that water will have a dramatic impact on how cities manage their water and how we are able to grow food to feed over the climate emergency demands radical changes. wall street brim box on its mission city group, one of the largest us banks, publishes a report announcing the in the free water
3:13 pm
and wasting water on a gigantic scale and certain regions. ike california, southern spain, the are seeing scarcity of water of center stream degrees. i mean, we have had thank us filters, water sailing to barcelona. ah, there is no alternative to pricing water properly. and making people realize that every time to take a sip of water, there is an opportunity cost and they feel within their wallet. how else are you going to get people to use less? if you give it to them for free? ah,
3:14 pm
the dam has broken the soft sounds of liberalism grow louder to celebrate the union of finance and water. yeah, go to she, acid markets, selling water derivatives, even the high frequency traders, the hedge funds would become interested. so now everybody sees this as an opportunity did real come? the question is just when and who will push it 1st and hardest. and what would be their motivation in incoming profits? well, or so indirectly, doing good for humanity. so it's the best all possible worlds. what could be better? it's very amorro to tread water. my will to be immoral to trade water because what is life he pay for health care?
3:15 pm
just because it's life doesn't mean it cannot be priced ah. the last stage in the financial ation of the loan to a stock market index based on what prices buy knows that a stock exchange specialize in technology. this is the 1st time that water has been reduced to an elder who
3:16 pm
the man who came up with the equation works in central london. as a former trader in a swiss bank, he launched the carbon markets where industrialists trade rise to pollute in the form of credit. before he discovered water, water used to be free in the elbows. but the world is changing is too much stress on the system and the most important commodity on earth can be free for ever. if you want to put it into the creed scenario, if you don't control it and use it properly, what will the rhetoric the happen? he says that the cache will have it. and those about the catch. what happens long coogan is the sort of man who looks to the future in order to attract
3:17 pm
investors to find that he's joint forces with the top water expert in the united states. and i want to drive around and your dad's gonna just pull around to the side, mom in law, throw some hail suit way back up there. look like the grain, a cowboy living in idaho, and the western united states. the only man who knows the secrets of a market that was until now reserved for experts and inside of clay landry runs a company that has recorded every water transaction since the year. 2000. when i got to call, it was unusual. it was a little out outside of our you know, our normal focus. i was intellectually curious. you know, from our standpoint it was relatively easy because we had the data on both. okay. we go give them their dinner now. why?
3:18 pm
because they like lots of food, just like you it isn't a reliable index to be clear where you're not buying water, you're buying the price of water stuff. so if you're not taking physical delivery of the water, so it's a little bit on the is a bit. yeah, it is a bet. were just betting whether the price is gonna be higher low. it's 6 months from now. so like i said, this is the condition on what the price. is it a speculation? i think we all are managing on what we think the future is going to look like. okay, can you get to pick any of what is in free? nobody worry. we're all happy that's going back into the dark ages. i was in the called market 2006 to 2012. people told me like,
3:19 pm
what's his nonsense, a judge? not in the front page of the nice if what people are saying is coming, you better be on top of your water situation, where you're going to be without water. and what i'm doing is getting people's focus through financial instruments to see what is actually going on on the grab, it changes the work, the world of water. as in australia, both partners have gained the support of powerful local environmental organizations . finances seem to be winning the environmentalists over oh
3:20 pm
oh i i, we're seeing more nonprofit organizations forming to participate in that market. and again, looking at ways to acquire water in areas where it's needed for stream flow either for fishery benefit, water quality benefit or some other type of, of habitat protection. the environmental water trade to make up about a quarter of the market. is it too late to stuff a financial take of a bed on water a week long heat wave is letting up in the
3:21 pm
midwest and northeast and temperatures are rising to dangerous levels in the west. excessive heat watches and warnings are posted tonight and parts of california. at the same time, nearly 40 large wildfires are burning across the web. california is built up its wealth through water. here the reserves are in the north while the cities and farms are in the south. oh, in order to domesticate this resource, a huge canal at the bills tomorrow, transporting billions of gallons of water. climbing over the mountains, irrigating the fertile valleys before supplying the people of los angeles, the california aqueduct is the essential artery that ensures the life and prosperity of 40000000 people.
3:22 pm
but climate change threatens the california dream. california doesn't charge farmers for water. if they drill a well and pop out of the ground, they can pump as much as they want. whenever they want. not only is there no charge, no one even keeps track of how much water they use. and during the last drought, which was just a year and a half ago, some of the farmers in the central valley of california. we're pumping so hard that the ground was falling. the ground was collapsing by an inch among mm. lots of water left so much water. we're down there. so today i'm declaring a drought emergency in the state of california. ah,
3:23 pm
reco drugs and disastrous wildfire to california has been catapulted into the world of extreme weather phenomena. father, he's a mistake. in the middle of the last drought, california passed a really important law that's gonna change water use in the state forever. it may change what gets grown in california. it may change who succeeds and who fails. under pressure from environmentalists, the governor is forced to vote in the new law cold sigma which limits underground water extraction from now on california. and farmers and cities will be entitled to a specific water quote based on their consumption. a revolution in the land of the free
3:24 pm
sigma or the sustainable ground water management act. initially, i think was viewed with fear and trepidation. i think people recognize that it was a necessary piece of legislation, just like balancing your checkbook for your home, or you can't live by writing checks for more money than you have. and so i think collectively the valley is endorsed it and supports the idea of sustainability with in bakersfield or the local water agency has decided to create a stock exchange to allow pharmacy to buy and sell that quotas. none of those to 10 years after australia comes in california is coming around to the concept of watermark rates in and you may be your july and you say, wow, based on this projection, i'm going to have a supply surplus. you may decide, you know, i'm going to manage that. i'm going to go into the market and make that available and maybe generate some additional economic value. so if it falls through
3:25 pm
afterwards, we hit confirm, and it falls through. they didn't pay or they didn't, you know, it doesn't work out. how do we let you know again that i wouldn't take my water back, you know, to be, you can i that once you hit confirm, as far as the district is concerned, the transaction is complete. and there's, there's going to be some growing pains, and certainly it's not going to be perfect every time, but we're trying to structure something that seems straightforward. some of the people, the wheels were beginning to turn and they were thinking, can i turn this to my advantage? is there a way for me to generate additional value? and i think the just the word market invokes in people a sense of, is there an opportunity, can i somehow be advantaged by participating? and that's by far the, the most common reaction that i have when people hear that, you know, we're creating a market for water. i think they view it as an opportunity contract with you probably are not a platform provider. i don't have skin in the game in terms of your bottom line here. again,
3:26 pm
environmentalists are at the forefront encouraging the establishment of these market. you know, we're here because we, we see it as an important tool for flexibility as folks are dealing with more and more scarcity under sigma and in climate change in general. so we've been talking to eric for some time since this is ground 0 for ground water overdraft. it would be great to actually experiment with how water training can benefit this region. valley here is definitely ground 0, but there's groups in sonoma, there's groups in eastern to fully madera, fox canyon. everyone probably sorry many, it's christy about it. and i thought you were, i'm a very surprise of the through environment. are a pro market the i was to initially, i think, you know, after we had a chance to talk and understand what their interest were and recognize that we were very much aligned, these transactions have to be evaluated not just from
3:27 pm
a financial standpoint, but we also have to take into account the environmental impacts, water quality issues, all the things that they're concerned about. and so it's good to have their input and their vision. and so that, that answers your 1st question. i mean, we don't know right now we're just kind of trying to project into the future. would you imagine that situation before? no. this is i think taken many of us by surprise 4 or 5 years ago. this would not have been possible why supply has been constrained by definition of sustainability. and so the market i think is necessary. ah, will california become the new australia will intensive agriculture monopolized this resource and will small farmers disappear, sacrificed in the name of water profitability. wall street's new cream
3:28 pm
or april on august, the front line reporting and in depth analysis. we bring you the latest on the ukraine war and the unfolding humanitarian crisis, immersive personal shorts, documentary africa, direct showcase, african stories from african filmmakers. the campaign for the philippines president, the enter, hit final threats, but with the country facing its worth recession year, we expanded, it will emerge as a front runner time of pandemic sauce. what the world can learn from the global h. i. v epidemic in the fight against cold at 19 emanuel micron is expected to be re elected as president. that what will a 2nd term mean for france and the you april on al jazeera. during the debate, there is no he job back to, you know,
3:29 pm
if anyone here talks about women's rights or suggested, this bill seemed of themselves notes or pictures of the table. we were taught to see abortion as a one way. tickets true to health, all of the companies, they deny any responsibility, even though they have the resources and the power to fix it, where a global audience becomes a global community. the comment section is right here. the part of today's program, this stream on out is era, mainstream coverage of big stories can sometimes deliver more heat than lights. in a water scenario, there's always a force to simplify. narratives. nuance is always called for, even in the case of an aggressive war, the listening page, delve into the news, narrative and dissect them. there is not our great deal of subtlety. we're talking about the barbaric and that is unfolding as though we're somehow unique. it's not unique covering the way the news is covered. on al jazeera, we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world. so no
3:30 pm
matter what lucy, al jazeera will bring you the news and current affairs that matter to you. out as in europe, lou. hello again, i'm fully battling doha. with the headlines on al jazeera, russia's defense ministry says it will decrease military activities in the areas of peeve and journey have in ukraine. it comes after negotiations between the 2 sides in east. some ball talks will continue to morrow, go a little forget that we agree to move the negotiations to the practical level in order to build trust. the ministry of defense has decided to decrease military activities in keys and trinity school walk. but fighting continues on multiple fronts in ukraine. a rush and miss,

i has struck the port to the of mc alive ripping a hole in the main government building. 7 people have been killed and 22 others wounded. ukraine's president voted me zalinski says his armed forces, i've re taken control of earth pen. there's been heavy fighting in the city, north west of cave since russia began its pushed towards the capital. last month, nearly 5000 civilians have been killed in mary paul since rushes invasion began. that's according to the city's mayor who says a 160000 people remain trapped. in other world news gunmen have attacked a passenger train in north western nigeria. it happened on i could do no bound train from the capital, a butcher, local media say almost 1000 people on board. eye witnesses say a number of people were killed or kidnapped. nigeria is army chief, has ordered troops to launch a man, hunt, and rescue the victims. border officials in uganda say thousands of refugees, of course, into the country from northeast and democratic republic of congo. it follows an
3:32 pm
attack by m. 23 rebels who have captured areas close to the border, raising fears of further escalation and australia and new zealand are among countries alarmed by negotiations for a security patch between china and the solomon islands. at least document said china as military and armed police will be allowed to protect chinese projects there. the islands by minister says the backlash is very insulting. finally, officials in the chinese city of chung june of apologize for food shortages caused by logged on measures. the local government says it has organized delivery of food to residents and thousands of farmers interlock are protesting against the crippling economic crisis. it was organized by the national people's power opposition alliance, who accused the government of mismanaging the economy, their shortages of food, fuel, and medicine. and those are the headlines. lords of water continues next year on al jazeera. to stay with this recent study,
3:33 pm
this preventable disease or cancel 15 percent of own debts of children and a connection with ah
3:34 pm
will california become the new australia will intensive agriculture monopolized this resource? ah, i'm will small farmers disappear, sacrificed in the name of water profitability, wool streets, you creed, people been fighting over water since white people set foot in this valley. it's our life. if we don't have water, we don't have an economy and we, we don't have anything. you have the growers, you have the packers, you have the shippers, you have the manufacturers, but it's all based on what comes up out of the ground. and you need water for that
3:35 pm
historically, the central valley has been the ocean that supplies the whole country with fruits and vegetables considered of national security. it ensures food independence for the united states. but over the past decade, the crops have changed. solidly, so disappeared. the valley has become an aman to producing machine. as in australia, the financial i, zation of water is transforming landscapes and encouraging monoculture. i can remember cuz i grew up in the valley in driving up and down and all over the place that you had. i'm much smaller plots of land and farms and a lot more alfalfa and cotton, especially cotton. and now you have, you know, just as far as the i can see in some areas, almon trees. ah,
3:36 pm
ah as the price of water increases and it becomes more valuable than the land and more valuable than the production of the land. well, you have a commodity, it's valuable somewhere. if you can't use it on the land, what else might you be able to do with that farm it to sell? so in a way water is a new crop. yes, hunter is what ours is probably the most valuable crop in the central valley right now. it's more valuable than oil. ah. so what is blue gold? what to replace black go?
3:37 pm
the owner bit of it is what's known as a water guy and a reference to the 1000000000 as of yesterday. who controlled deal and markets i knew were l a was i knew were san francisco was this central valley is something that was foreign to me. and after i bought the land, i was about 4000 acres. i bought it, bought it for $270000.00 and it had today's value had about $12000000.00 with the water rights. and today's value, maybe more ab, a lot of people feel that john, that of it. he's not a farmer that he is
3:38 pm
a water farmer that he buys these lands and gets himself involved in the stuff in order to get control of the ground water. my strategy has always been that it's not so much the land, but it's the water. and maybe i was a little bit early, maybe i wasn't. how much have you invested in all these so infrastructures i will say in the hundreds of millions. so that's. that's what i have invested hundreds of millions of dollars. yes sir. does it worth it? yes, absolutely. mm ah, joan bit of it is not afraid of soaring water prices. you know, the arrival of wall street investors. for him,
3:39 pm
the danger lies elsewhere. blue. ah, cities will always get the politics are there, the money is there. they can increase the cost of water. so that the farmers can't pay for in, they're going to steal it by making it so expensive that the farmer is at their mercy. that the fear is, it's all going to go to allay cars. ella has all the money that's. that's the fear member m w d, the metropolitan water district, which is the big gorilla down south. they have millions of customers where you could spread the cost out and it's not gonna affect the individual customer.
3:40 pm
what is money? it's power and it's money, and it's becoming more and more and more valuable, almost daily. ah, in the land of free enterprise, what a competition is 5th city against countryside. the colleges against farmers. some people are already preparing to become water bankers . welcoming those who wish to stock their reserves before using oh, reselling them according to market prices. so my drop is i set up as
3:41 pm
a sponge to be able to capture as much water available when it's here. and then we have the luxury, when the surface water is not available, we can fall back upon the stored water in the ground water bases. semi tropic owns these canals. we pay for the canals or maintain the canals. we build the canals. so if another layer of a land owner wants to actually have access to my canal and move water supply they acquired, we're going to pay for all as a seller, if it's more interesting to sell water to cities than to farmers. yeah, you're probably have a higher ability to sell water to cities. but then again, we're those cities getting their food supply or the import in the soup food supply from outside the state outside the country. or they want to have a local food supply. like having the natural stream system near their home, whereas words the value is it, fishes and farms is that people does really at the end. the day is
3:42 pm
the, the hard issue for us to decide about where is the best use from water supply and then varies based upon where you are. me. the 20th century economy centered around your trade nowadays was look to shape the 21st century. we have seen financial investors and others come in and look at ways to take advantage of that. their goal is to get in before the market elevates the price of water. and in some cases i've heard that they've done it. mm. and how did you look at that? you know, there are some that feel that that's kind of exporting the system, but you know, there's nothing that we can do to prevent it may not like it, but that's just,
3:43 pm
that's the way our system. that's what capitalism set up to accommodate. you met them personally. no news doesn't make sense. should we be trading water? i think we're past that question. we. we are trading water in this country and for people are moving to the west. may need water. ah, just at the beginning of this water revolution, water, financial revolution, the, you can't let the market be the only decider of how water's allocated. price can't be the only way you distribute water. because then you'll have rich people with big swimming pools and poor people who are dead
3:44 pm
down they get in a hurry yet vaughn, my mother would have gone to the one but as an bonnie becomes a young man that body of the dentist, little physical and that is still that a global war to rush is accelerating privatization, competition profit? key words of the liberal doctrine. faced with this for it. one woman is standing up, mod bondo a canadian human rights act. ah, she has already won her 1st victory of the united nations in 2010. when the general assembly voted in favor of a resolution, but recognized access to water as
3:45 pm
a universal rights line, it must be declared a public resource that belongs equally. i was in the united nations, up in the balcony, the day that that they voted and i thought we were going to lose. i had staff with me, they were crying. i said, don't worry, we're going to be back in 2 years or 5 years, no matter how long it takes, we're going to be back and we'll do it. and when they vote, they vote, they sit in their chairs and they vote electronically. so you know right away, so boom, a 122 countries voted in favor and 41. they abstained. they didn't have the nerve to oppose, even though they actually wanted to oppose among the nations that abstained, that they were australia, united states, and great britain. countries that have all chosen to turn water into a financial product. the human family took an evolutionary step forward at that point, and since then every country has ratified it's in one way or another it's,
3:46 pm
it's now universal. so you got it. now you got it. now. mod barlow may have won the battle, but she hasn't yet won the war. in stockholm, in december 2018, the activist was invited by the nobel committee to continue her fight at a conference about the future of water. so we thought we focused on activism for while to start us off. i'd like to ask more. barlow, gills with united nations calls water scarcity, the scoured of the earth to truly guarantee the human right to water. we must protect it as a public trust and a commons, not a commodity to be put on the open market for sale like oil and gas. and we must challenge the current power structures in institutions that support unequal access
3:47 pm
