emily on a journey through recent german history. in living memory. darkness has fallen and it's still peaceful and have remained so for your sage my grandchildren. our family. starts new member 6 long d.w. . the. water is a basic human need the portable water depleting every day it's also becoming a part of big business bottled water chemical filters water purifiers are a part of every day jogger in many parts of the word hello welcome to india i'm

some coming to you from mumbai to be a real deep dive into finding solutions to hook up the most important resource children of water now according to the world health organization each of us needs 25 to 50 metres of water every day to day care for health and hygiene but 3 in 10 people around the world lack safe ready available water at an organization in delhi is trying something out of the box by converting sewage water into clean portable water going to truly work let's take a closer look. at. every morning it is the same battle for the residents of this district of so deadly with no reliable sources of it from the. residents of not. i have to line up every

morning to get water from tankers like this one to their daily needs. it is a frantic scene every day and i see people push and joseph each other to fill their cans ahead of their lives sometimes for trigger. if they plan to get the most out what only source yes some mornings there are so many people you would think there is a fear on everyone is struggling to fill cans there are arguments fights even accidents wondering what the biggest problem may wish they would fix traps in all our houses just like they had installed electricity like it was an alkali. the banker drives off leaving the people to make do with whatever water they have managed to collect for the rest of the day delhi jumbo the agency responsible for supplying water to the city struggles constantly to keep up the the mob.

in the new head of the sub somebody gets a problem in the lead to day is there a lady of clean water a lot of work has gone into cleaning efforts etc but there is an urgent need to address the issue of making more the water level it was. just then is taking place rapidly and with it their demand for water is rising just as fast. these river provide the answer to the complex problem of water supply in the city. at the site invest daily the delhi jal boat installed an innovative plan that creates toxic seepage and transforms it into drinking water all using a natural process. the plant is part of the environmentalists. absolute water and the technology was created by the father

daughter of smith and to new single. this whole idea came about is also because i have seen personally in my own home when the sewage line and the drinking water supply line normally gets mixed up especially in the genes so at that point of time it is you know it was it was crazy i mean you could smell it in your being you know you were having stomach issues you were having infections and all that kind of stuff so it was about what can one do about this and i've seen kids being installed what go you know it's quite disheartening to watch so that's where basically the whole concept came about. in 2050 delhi was ranked 2nd in the list of the 20 largest cities in the world experiencing water stress water. for the cities needs water access it remains a glaring problem for the government but an activist who had to spend

a lifetime working to conserve. insists the problem is not just availability. there live 400. is oversupplied as far as waterstones. city of delhi site is anywhere in the world does not get the kind of water there delegates. but yes there is a crisis situation situation because not every part of delhi gets. enough water and that's again a management issue. this is the nudge of gerd drain it used to be known as the siberia of back in the days when it got it rain water into the young. often called delis lifeline. today it contributes 60 percent of the total waste water discharge from delhi into the young out of. delhi

has 22 major grains that carry over 800000000 liters of untreated sea voyage and dump the waste directly into the yemenite every day causing high levels of water pollution. like water stress the amounts of breast water are likely to get worse over the coming decade. running on solar power and the absolute water facility generate 100000 liters of plain water every day providing safe drinking water and helping solve seawitch pollution in the us. just collected from the surrounding districts into containers and crush and. remove from the water using different. layers of. the brick to pollute. the whole recycling process was developed and refined by the

company from. a chemical engineer typically they think exist or some people are. using the. world me. 50 degrees which experience is. to keep those. working to go and also the. present in the words because in india are. mixed with industrial age so it's not just domestic switch. using. technology the water is converted into. high quality drinking water which meets.

the concrete. the technology is relatively expensive but in the long term. the most important thing is the operational cost which in the market we have the cheapest one that. the other most important is that being green we are not subject very heavy equipment so therefore. is the west so all in all it's a full sustainable. system and it is. astonishing to have the transport corporation is having to use hundreds of meters of this water to wash public buses. the biggest challenge remains to convince girlies residents of the idea. to recycle water is good enough to drink. ringback

absolute water has installed a recycling plant. is used only. in the mind set at the end of. that. and if they were to look at the pipeline distribution it's coming to the exact same day we're trying to tell them that you know it doesn't matter how it comes to you when you don't have water to water what else are you going to do. recycled water is all in a drunken finger pool and california overcoming acceptance better youth is possible . the demand for water in india is expected to double over the next decade and to move this demand effective and targeted water management solutions are the need of the un estimates that globally 2000000000 people live in countries

that are experiencing high water stress this could increase to more than 5000000000 people in 2050 let's see what exactly that means. mortar is one of the most abundant resources on the planet but most of it is salty and not usable by humans so water makes up around $97.00 and a half percent of all available water just 2.5 percent is freshwater and most of that is bound up in glaciers and ice caps. less than a 3rd of that fresh water is actually available to us for our everyday needs farming and industry. though clean water is essential more than 800000000 people still don't have access to a continuous or reliable supply. and safe water causes more deaths than disasters and conflict kills nearly $800000.00 people per year. in parts of

africa asia and the americas water scarcity is already a serious problem. the gap between supply and demand is increasing this leaves countries vulnerable to drought. global water consumption has risen 6 fold since 1930 the population has soared and average consumption per person. has done so as well. industry and farming use large amounts of water according to the un food and agriculture organization it's just 10 countries led by india china and the united states that consume 2 thirds of the water used each year but resources are limited so many countries especially industrialized ones have started to treat waste water before they release it into nature yet about 80 percent of waste water worldwide is not treated at all. on

average the u.s. and other high income countries treat 70 percent of their waste water. middle income countries such as india and china treat between 28 and 38 percent while low income countries treat just 8 percent. much more waste water needs to be treated if the world has to meet the growing demand and protect the quality and supply of our fresh water. on average 6 liters of water is used to flush a toilet every single time and that means many a time portable water that could be used for drinking or washing up is literally going down the toilet 2 sisters from frankfurt quit their jobs to change this they developed temporary toilets which work with no chemicals and don't use a single drop of water. they're loading portable toilets onto

trailers for each it's hard work. they're not standard sanitary facilities these are compost or no water trial that's novato for short and that's the name of this company that's based in frankfurt germany and the only water needed is for washing your hands. you know why we're preparing for a corporate event tomorrow friday night they need 3 washbasin a toilets and 3 or and also. sisters 17 and elizabeth fellows set up novato 8 years ago they're both former i t professionals who are looking for a career change. we wanted to do something that involves natural cycles and isn't too monotonous. we decided to give it a go so we built our 1st toilets we took them to music festivals to see if this was what we really wanted to be doing. both be answered turned out to be

yes and the company is still going strong. one of their clients is a camp for school students. the whole idea behind the campus to be climate neutral and eco friendly so of course we wanted eco friendly toilets meaning ones that don't use water if possible. and these ones don't use any at all and no chemicals either what remains is biomass that's in no way harmful. upset with me. for big events and long term rentals the company stops by regularly to maintain the toilets exchanging the containers and cleaning the surfaces the company also sells its toilets to homeowners and somewhat larger models for public spaces to local authorities. the principle is always the same. if you haven't go in the here we have the container there's

a layer of wood shavings in the toilet already well after each use you throw your paper into the toilet whether it's also can possible it contains organic material. so that goes in. and then you take some more shavings and throw them in. it's true that it looks clean and that binds the odor so it doesn't smell or rather it smells like wood shavings. and that's it. look at she never runs a cafe in frankfurt. a compost trial it was the answer to all his problems because the cafe isn't connected to the sewage system he's been renting a toilet for 18 months. we once saw one at a festival in downtown frankfurt and thought that could be really useful under certain conditions interesting approach to waste management it's great and people seem to like it and. what they retrieved from the various rental toilets and up in

a big container on the company premises which is taking to the composting plant every 2 weeks 17 says this system makes much more sense than flush toilets. the problem with flush toilets is that they use water to transport the waste that's a very bad idea the water becomes permanently polluted and the treatment plants can't fully purify it again that's why the. novato still operates on a small scale compost trial that's in other water free alternatives don't get work in dense urban settings 17 thanks and that's very unfortunate. oh morning medical hormones and drug residues end up in our rivers and lakes along with plant nutrients that's a problem because resources like phosphates are needed for agriculture. even if all that goes into the sewage plants in the residue gets burned it's gone forever.

it's expensive to recover phosphates from waste water in sewage treatment plants novato is one of several small companies in germany that manufacture compost toilets they might not yet be able to compete with conventional toilets but 17 feds is certain that we won't be able to use drinking water to flush toilets forever. now many communities depend of water extensive for their livelihood take for example the bathtub style makers from. their dejan is witnessing the worst drought in 30 years their dilemma is to choose between producing heaps synthetic fabric that will harm the environment and producing their traditional fabric which is cleaner and cleaner but consumes more water. the state of georgia is no one for being colorful this deputation comes from its traditional textile

industry and the vibrant fabrics and prints used to make the garments local people . a signature textile here is bought dick a method of dying cloth using back in patent areas the most famous practitioners of this craft are the cutlery community. 38 year old shockey is the 5th generation of his family to continue this elegant tradition. who were joking about incest. they would use the fruits from the blue tree the are from the seeds of these roots they use. all the colors were natural. like indigo black from iron rust or yellow from. did not have too many colors to choose from back then very limited. use now a days where everything is done using racks we have been using it

because of market demand we have to work with many more colors and designs. but a guard has been struggling to survive in today's competent market but a few artisans are keen to revive the art in its original form they're choosing to go organic a decision that's meeting the very real and persistent problem in the state it's water resources almost 52 percent of cut it out is turning into desert the 3rd highest rate in the country the local water resources are rapidly shrinking. well but it printing with natural dyes is less polluting for the remaining water resources it doesn't even know water and enjoy in the clutch region has been working closely with the artisan community and has provided solutions to this dilemma and the water crisis. water is to

the dismay home water not very long ago conducted on water a study where we wanted to find out how much water was used in the textile crops so we wanted to promote the old technique of using natural dice you know what technique would only technique. can be revived in the water can be used so the consumption of motor will be reduced substantially and that can also help turn this into an environmentally friendly craft. or were environment friendly. the reason for the shift to synthetic dyes took place decades ago and can be traced back to the sixty's the time of the hippie movement and with it a soaring rise in the popularity of the bottle print meeting rising demands in foreign markets meant switching to chemical colors which were faster and easier but also toxic today the artisans are experiencing higher demand for natural prints

customers are keen on organic variants and colors made from flowers and plants. and their children ever since we started using natural dies there has been a growing respect for the ministers anything that is argument is a little more expensive because it is liver. but i feel that the future is brighter for natural organic. natural leverage other. artisans are taking a 1st step using go to that water resources carefully can help. future generations do stick to their home and traditions. what does stress has not been a relevant issue for most northern european countries but climate change is causing huge changes in the hydrological balance present evaporation and groundwater

formation are expected to follow a new over the in the future the german venger is preparing for the worst testing move water management keeps it and to stock up the groundwater levels. ready ready ready for years there hasn't been enough rainfall here even when a downpour drenched the soil the damaged grain could no longer recover and reach its normal. and you can see the plants are suffering from drought stress. because these leaves are drying out. normally the plants here would be 4 times as tall as. the grain fields border on a nature reserve which is monitored by park rangers this area used to be a marsh land full of animals like cranes and frogs. over the past few years the

average temperature in the capital berlin and the surrounding region has risen by 1.3 degrees celsius that's another reason why groundwater levels are falling. in recent years we'd normally see a level of 50 centimeters in may. so it would reach up to hit. just a few years ago water still flowed in this ditch now it's dry this area has countless ditches like these with sluices that help drain the land after frequent heavy rains these days there's hardly any rain at all. this doesn't look good. the rangers and local farmers are looking for a solution they're planning to turn the drainage ditch into an irrigation ditch the idea is being tested 20 kilometers away. this nature reserve has 7 interconnected bodies of water the coffins a lake is right in the middle. that's where the brandenburg ranger association has

been testing a water management system to combat drought. ranger months but new poll monitors and adjusts the water supply. these streams allow water to flow from one like to the next like a string of pearls. a network of sluices allows the rangers to block the water so that it can't flow out of the lakes as easily. here we have raised the water level here by 20 centimeters in other words the water level in the lake is 20 centimeters hard on the walls before. because the lake water level and the groundwater levels are interconnected the groundwater level has also increased by 2. centimeters. swanson said to me to hear. the lakes now supply the surrounding fields and meadows with water. that's also helping revive a marsh that had run dry. the groundwater level here is rising again.

the results of this test are being used by rangers and farmers to devise ways to replenish the water table. in the future this list will be used to retain water rather than to allow it to flow that also requires cooperation from local farmers. in coal thought was a merino that in some years the meadow will be too wet to get water logged but we want to cooperate with the ranger association to help preserve life here and we do need the water eventually to. otherwise there won't be enough grass on this meadow for our animals to graze on their views of. the rain today is very welcome retaining water in ditches instead of allowing it to drain away will help plants and animals thrive here in the coming years. exports clean the borders of the future will be fought over one thing water after looking at today's

episode it doesn't seem surprising does it protecting water means protecting ourselves i hope you'll be mindful of this the next time you see a leaky tap or have a longshot what we'll be back next week with yet another car provoking episode until then good bye.
