9:34 am
ah with his t science the sack is at the at less than 3 percent as fresh water. and i said that it's frozen in glassy and some polar ice caps. obviously it's less than not like, not one percent readily accessible for all the planets. fresh water needs that the
9:35 am
supply despite resources under threat completion, mismanagement, rising to mullens and climate change. ah, just so for decade it's estimated at dwelt will. and you have 60 percent of the water it needs and if we were contact to conserve it, cameras will be enough come to the dock in northern india. wish engineers have come up with some innovative solutions to alleviate what is stress in mountain communities. and i am a mighty vein in children or women taking a water crisis into that ah, millions of people rely directly on glass. you'll melt water was viable,
9:36 am
would be to climate change these reservoirs in the sky, but disappearing at an alarming rate. some scientists had predicted that by the end of the century, much the him, liz, could be practically ice free. here in the dark, which experiences only 50 millimeters of annual rainfall. glasses have been the light source for centuries. but you climate change over 14 percent of the local gracie area has been lost in the last 50 years. i'm here to visit and engineers come up with a beautiful and extraordinary way of preserving the glacial water. using monuments made of ice in the town of lee and meat. see when do me a local environmental scientists. i understand that you of an expert about climate change in the effects on mountain community. so can you give us a sense of some of the challenges that they're facing here in lay them in crisis is
9:37 am
that you have a car long leash it is that where we can see andrea, that's kind of leisure and that's where it depots, end of though water is coming for the new residence, and that glacier is receding at the very 1st week. and every family lay has a guest house and they're, they're drain downward or like anything if there is no leisure water to reach out to gun water in the 1st that it will do what is likely you will see people will fighting over water. literally, he has literally, the situation is getting was led to be almost a 1000000000 people are affected by shrinking glass use throughout the himalayas in nearby village. young farmers are on the frontline, san m darma and phone shook. unsure could been working here for more than 40 years
9:38 am
or so and, and thank you so much accurately. ok, so cheers. have you noticed any changes, perhaps with the seasons or with the levels of water or even the lowest shooting a position i a yellowish in a pillar, ticklish and something but the past as did come i thought so she checked in not by own come i found was now only mccannen says, hutchison says, how do she tenor? nothing. mattie viewed e turns off school nurse cough was as in trivia martin to scholars hasn't. isn't it? kennedy met by young chic monet, manor county. no, sir, what has him at the cheaper front of us, but, you know, here in the region of the dark, the population relies heavily on the in this river. but with the situation getting dramatically worse, a local engineer saw num one chak,
9:39 am
who stepped up to the challenge of helping the villages adapt to these changes in january, february, nobody needs water. so the seemed flow and going to the in this and into the ocean . whereas in april, may everybody, all plans, all humans are all dying for water now. and then days. acute shortage of water. ah, what does it by using winter water during it in the form of 5? any males exactly when they use it. that spring problem is solved using winder water into ice that most in spring. and then you said the the environmental mountain school he founded in 1988 has been refining and teaching his ice stupid concept for the last 2 years. the pipe brings water and then it was
9:40 am
down and becomes a sofa. you know, the next 50 years, the people who will be running this. now in schools and colleges, i want to engage them in these ways to be sensitive towards the environment in the mountains. so then i would be in safe hands. and before we go to the, i will see a little demonstration of how it is formula. now that i suppose is the mountain. and that bucket there is say the stream from the lake or the sea water comes in the by which is under down. but here you can see and there's pressure in the bite. and then it comes like this. so you can see smaller droplets, which means water is exposed to the minus 3, d minus 30, loses its heat and freezes. there is no moving, but there is no electricity. yes,
9:41 am
gravity, that's the beauty of it. good, when we're heading up to the ice, stoopa is further up in the mountains. first, we have to make a quick strong oh god. okay with here's these for the ice to put the ice form for this is a kind of bio pies like the skeleton of their stupor if you like. ready i'll go and give them a hand with with my contribution.
9:42 am
ah wow. never seen anything like that before. this is, i'm no, i understand. you know, it's quite a bunk, his ideas quite as quickly really on the design of the steeple is critical for his success. he must have a minimal surface area to provide a maximum protection from the sun. this enables it to last long in to spring, sometimes up to 4 months. if the same volume of ice was a flat glacier, it would melt within days. while his claim to talk with crampons and ice ex and
9:43 am
he's turned on his rope and he's putting them on piece by piece and just adding them to the pile. the prickly buck thorn is added all the way to the top of the stoopa. the water catches on to the thorns making it easy to crystallize in the cold weather. and when you see the size of it, you really understand how that could have a significant impact for irrigation. what you reckon the volume of water is there to 1000000 leaders to turn in the bottom of that can really the heart of the ice deeper is this large plate. that's the one is channeling the melt water down from the gracie up on the mountain coming down to the base of that pipe because that header pressures forcing it. 15 or 20 me is up at the edge. and to sprinkling gutierrez, structure,
9:44 am
spooky in blue. sometimes vision isn't just about a handful of ice to put in one ment. village. hundreds of protecting the entire himalayas in helping irrigate fields in forests or $5000.00 trees were planted in 2015 and irrigated each spring with the water harvested from the ice to bush. he's already won global recognition for this project. what's the future for these guys? where this is going in the next, if i see it going into different directions, lower and lower towards the people in the villages higher and higher towards the highest parts of the valley where you can grow many of them chains of them. so our hope is we could legally hear what we have lost do by dying and adapt to changing climate. so we've just lost the sun over the hill. it's getting cold very quickly.
9:45 am
but we've got a plan because stands in intimacy. and they were brought some prayer legs to tie up on to the top of these 2, i stupid, and we'll get a sense to more morning how effective they are creating is amazing. struck him. the water in the pipe is released over night when temperatures which minus 20 minus 30 degrees. i slowly building up these structures until they reach heights of 60 or 70 feet. yeah. if i care oil rig i get struck oil for you've drug away. ah. the next morning i returned to the stupidest to see the changes happen over night. ah, well,
9:46 am
oh mac that that is fantastic. his goosey. i will claim up it. but i don't know if that's a good idea. let's see by get stuck. could have made quite a nice addition to the sculpture, just thinking they're going to come back tomorrow and flaming. bearing in mind, the whole reason that they're doing this is to try and conserve that. when to melt was just like a kind of water battery. they charge you up in the winter months in the spring i. we are losing our glaciers, for no fault of life would not have been possible at all in this, as it had not been for the glacier because he had his latest water from
9:47 am
thence, thousands of years ago, able to survive. and if they are gone, we'll be gone. and it will be real that with no light, people in big city, if they live simply than people in the mountains, but simply live. and the sooner or later if you come to their own doorsteps. so we should be sensitive to see the 1st train and men our ways ah, around the world sources of fresh water. dwindling and drowned is spreading the investment bank, goldman sachs with cold water, the petroleum of the next century. yet it's already fueling tension on the industry . the system you down is built by india, a seen by rival pakistan. it's a threat to national security within indian anger boiled over in bangalore route in
9:48 am
2016 when the supreme court due to the state of connecticut to release water in the recovery into time. and i do and what has become a weapon of war in iraq and syria? i 20252 thirds of the world's population could be living the bought a shortage. conflict type of water may be closer with . jordan is one of the dries countries in the world with us bought a capita that almost anywhere else on climate change, population growth and politics of put on already strained water supply on the feds trying with the country recently suffering from its west trout and 900 years it is now estimated to only have enough water, was us to support 2000000 people. it has a population of over 6000000 with faulty pipes and plumbing contributing to the
9:49 am
crisis. i'm here to visit scheme, which is putting women at the heart efforts to combat this growing issue. here with water is severely rations in georgia and i me towards the expert talk to rides and to be one of the wells and my friends where people come to buy more water. so this is where people come when they run out of water. yes, this is the men, will you hear the gone door? so these guys, are they gonna sell the water? it to people or is this for them? are they buying it now? yeah, yeah. monica gladys of the product. so my. ready one of the group yeah. use, i believe i bought this new lenders to fin feminist, asked him to bring the water for them or fin feminist,
9:50 am
or did what we did a he is 60 to 80 little which is equal joshua fine. on average. someone else in the world, this is well below the threshold, defining war to stress. and it's due to talk further in the coming normal people one out, and then you can jordan, or we live with. why is the situation so bad with designing the syrians in the issues when it comes to what of she and we kind of thought i'll talk. i think personally, the common gotten that is going to be about water. according to one study, the king to the supply fresh water is on tracks to be exhausted. is at least 2060. to make matters worse, around 50 percent of the war to distributed to houses across the country is lost through illegal tapping and faulty pipes. but a practical solution to these water issues has been developed in collaboration with the jordanian government. it's known as the war to wise women's initiative. on this
9:51 am
course teaches women war to saving techniques and plumbing skills, and is supervised by ex graduates with the lady the main talk. what happens as a full t top. oh, the parts of the top need to come out in order. so then they can go back in order to say the from i can check them one by one. stunningly, the total loss to leakage is at least $76000000000.00 letters. enough to my, the needs is 2600000 people attaching the inlet into the tap and i got to make sure it's very secure. okay, that's tied to now. okay, good. a good title. and so what made you want to go? and of course, i know, yeah, it had been a bit been with women specifically
9:52 am
being trained because in traditional middle eastern culture, the husband must be present for a male plan. they can visit a being able to fix the problem themselves. it saves them both time and fight. remove the $3000.00 women around the country landing from the sky. this initiative is making a big difference in some of the quantified or twice women got a job fixing the plumbing and i've been invited to join a little piece of metal broken into the time. and if you have any to the water. so they've got to make sure that every drop of nominated order about the time, or they replace it with much more how long have you been a from a been so by the 1015. i love it because it's really, really helpful. if you can save something really expensive to us, if the wasn't yeah. oh i
9:53 am
the amount of the most is just checking that everything's done. i. i really kid. no. you ladies know what to take on the reef, signed off. it's time to head inside to complete the job. so basically in the abolition room where people come in and perform a, they wash before they pray. and the lady's gonna show me how to attach these to the top and they don't waste as much water help because of water. because it's small, it's hard tool. yeah. you have to focus. oh god, last night i failed at the 1st. how do i embarrassing? when you go to people's houses and sometimes you find maybe some men who kind of don't like that as a female plumber come to their home. what do you say by j h? i s and the see if we can do it or not, just give us a chance when they see
9:54 am
a we are lydia self confidence with this. they look up as like, oh my god, maybe she can do it. how? okay, let's see. wow. yeah, i know they haven't done it very well is leaking from the top. so yeah, i know. okay. so yeah, i think i need to stop now and lead professionals take over the work, the water wise women aren't doing is even more important now considering the impact the war in neighboring syria is having on jordan. around 2000000 refugees are being hosted in the country, increasing the weight of groundwater depletion. just 15 miles from my friend is saturday, refugee camp is huge. like a little city is $80000.00 suing refugees, living half just putting an incredible strain on jordans woods' supply. getting
9:55 am
water to the people living here is a massive logistical operation, carefully controlled with no pipe network, 58 trucks like this one distributed daily to 12000 times in the can almost getting full when the water ones out. that's it. ah technical point of view. we have a bank account here that does not been resides live. so it's like we are we drawing every new one in weird because remember in showing the syrians managed that war to russians is fighter shock machine is one of the camps, water promoters, educating the rescue, cheese on how best to conserve their water, the water he had for jordan eats and the quantity, it's so small, so they need like an awareness session for them to improve the use it for the water . these awareness sessions to help refugees cope with limited supplies,
9:56 am
a healthier thing. no one doesn't alarm will die. and i'll come while i la vehicle, i have been that mendoza and mobile that she the silicon might fee and my you know if he can me a y in lockwood flat fee that was e r e fema had the that let those. yeah. he camila will thought if he comes with a, this is women here. sure out from always that because they out of the live, let's say the cord for the family. the i wasn't for everything than in the best way to manage their war to russian is vital for these women. my actually pardon better, that is what i mean. it's great. it's really good the work they're doing here. they're trying to kind of reinforce message of how it is and how, how much we need to conserve it. mm. 0, one refugee has been on the war to wise women's course. i me talked with suffer secaria, who was now one of the initiatives most successful women. she set up her own
9:57 am
business and employs life on the female thomas. not an, as you to the some anomaly next year to he give, not wilma is, you know, some of the, as you don when and my, because of the more you, the m and a musty, ha, ha, ha, murphy, white, the needed. this was a and i also see that we love the any of us used to hold my la mama. no. so like as alpha soup with a meal and both and that was suffer. what education is essential. no lifted off and muffled in miami, kofi y e kathy landscape off here. and the pasta was on. been elaine han and, and i really don't like i thought you m by that i'm how again. yeah, no. mm hm. oh oh, it's clear that water shortage is across the globe,
9:58 am
a driving people to find creative and sustainable solutions. new designs such as this mesh like structure, european, converting edge of pits to drinking other devices and looking to the power of the sun to help. so water issues in countries like equity and gone to the on to my hoses are addressed waters gas t will continue to spread. is innovations like these provide hope that we can adapt in the meantime. across the globe, breathtaking efforts to clean up the planets are on the way in milan. companies are turning to a radical solution, a bio dynamic cement, toxic pollutants. this really is a living building has constantly interacting with his environment thrice visits the frontiers of the battle for the environment. scientists here in iceland, pioneering a new technique to reduce emissions, earth rise,
9:59 am
looked at new ways of preventing air pollution on al jazeera. ah, here's a weather update in a minute 15 would you say we begin in the middle east where last time we spoke, not a whole lot of change. still plenty of hot sunshine, some rain to go for western areas of yemen and still dusty conditions to be found from the law right through to mascot in the forecast on monday. gotta take it to bach is some because it has been very active as of late and still dealing with some rain left for sim province. here comes our next monsoon depression. this is a 3rd one in about as many weeks. now we are on tuesday as we see it pour into the country upper sim province, eastern baluchistan and south punjab provinces will really see the worst of it. i've also seen some flooding around cobble as well. look at this 18 degrees on tuesday. yes. should be 32 degrees for this time of the year, off to turkey,
10:00 am
and we'll see some daytime heating storms pop up here on monday. but largely it's a fine and dry pitcher right across the country. central africa, it's our usual belts of showers and storms in this area, but we can see it flaring up more so up for areas of the democratic republic of congo and for southern africa that really a lot to report much calmer conditions. i got a few showers though, for that east coast stuff, madagascar on monday. that's it. that's all too soon. ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, terrorism charges filed against foam and pakistani,
