says it a porch of over 800000 fish dying just. that was over 15 years ago when the flood gates were open but even today the water is polluted the desert what is blanketed in water hyacinth plants indicators of heavy metal pollution they also took the entire river system below. 3 farmers who were on the morning walk on the dam approached me and began describing what had happened to the divert they've grown up beside. the net when i was 15 or so we used to drink this water but it's been dirty for 30 to 35 years now and another by the way they say many people have jobs on the other side but what good is that if the water is contaminated there's a saying in time you know it's like selling your eyes and buying a movie. one of the funnels david invited us back to his home with one of the eels to live here as a subsistence farmer but over the past 20 years things have changed dramatically

here but back then there was cotton rice sugar cane corn lots of crops. and. now the ground is so contaminated by the water that we don't have any of those crops anymore now we don't grow anything just coconuts. he says though that the yield of his coconut trees has dropped by at least 30 percent because of the water so now he imports from other indian states and hires laborers to break and dry them before he sells the parts mainly to the coconut oil industry you know in the market. it started with coconut oil became fashionable in markets around the world. but no matter how much business we do we need water that's the main thing. i have money for everything i need now what is it another. and what will it be

like in the future for our children. it's only getting worse what is in the present. since the court order more than a 100 treatment plants have been established some individual factories others are common treatment plants which treat the waste water from several small scale facilities more than 1000000000 liters of water every day the government subsidizes a large part of the operating costs i visited the common treatment plant where $18.00 small dying units send their waste water for treatment. my family this is it was late in the favor at some point. this long dying operations do have to be a part of the treatment and they still need to stay competitive many have seen a steep drop in their profit margins sometimes down by 15 percent. so many of the

facilities have moved out of. either to other states or even just beyond the district border where the doesn't apply. the number of dying units has declined from over 700 at its peak around 400 at the moment the district has taken a financial hit even as the noise. has become somewhat cleaner. i'm going up to the source of the devil which is inside of predicted for you to see what this looks like it's all good you. just have 15 minute drive from the easternmost city on the river the landscape is completely different. i mean it's the same give up it's oh yeah i think. i wondered about the future of this river and the many stakeholders involved

shouldn't corporations that's also the products from the area medical group to share of the financial burden of the state to be more vigilant and why don't the legal requirements apply across the entire country. there's a lot of downstream could one day become some version of this but with a modern falling on the small number of people in the long care is this going to become a case where history repeats itself on another hit and in and on the plate. and this is already happening industrial farms are being set up across so inviting more small businesses to develop small towns so do i want new clothes yes but also seeing what my claws are doing to business and all the systems of support i was not in mind and i will collect the response immediately to make sure that this doesn't just in the destruction of all of this. if you like that story i

want to learn more about sustainability i knew you tube channel new planet is just the right make sure to check it out. now growing cities need to make an important choice really work rick need to be sustainable or will they work against it and be extracted to delhi. for example. as the was biggest city by 20 the population. towards. the city is like. concept. sustainability and. there are already some in a way to ideas for what the cities of the future could look like let's take a look. mushrooming megacities are a global phenomenon there are now 3 times as many urban areas with $10000000.00 plus residents as just a few decades ago. but as cities grow so do their problems.

cities are microcosms of society who can observe all the opportunities and challenges in a very small space like under a looking glass and glass. the biggest conurbation on the planet is greater tokyo population 38000000 followed by jakarta with around 34000000 delhi mumbai manila and shanghai each home to more than 20000000 people as are the biggest metropolises in latin america and mexico city. traffic is a major problem in megacities but there are new ideas out there on how to tackle it . we're also used to cars that we can't imagine cities without them anymore but if we were to experience that we wouldn't want to go back to cars. this is how

cities might look in future if different kinds of road users were separated one road is for fast moving aleck trick where goes another for pedestrians cyclists and scooters with the 3rd a promise not reserved for pedestrians only. welcome to woven city a project under development. by japanese carmaker toyota a prototype city and living laboratory for cutting edge technologies. here all vehicles will be self driving and run on electric power or hydrogen the mini city itself will be powered by solar and geothermal energy with everything coordinated centrally by ai technology. it's been designed for a population of 2000. people off peak luger the smarter ideas about how people can move around. in a city with 5000000 residents and 3000000 cars that are idle 90 percent of the time you just need to do the math. so that you could probably reduce the number of cars

by 80 percent. going to the smart sharing system people could still enjoy the same level of mobility mentioned. meanwhile at the other end of asia in saudi arabia there are plans for a new megalopolis knee arm a linear city comprising for. the pet project of the saudi crown prince is said to cost an estimated 500000000000 euros road and high speed rail transportation are all electric and underground. neon nicknamed the line because it's meant to be 170 kilometers in length is designed to be carbon neutral with a 5 g. network driving all manner of applications. there right now it's a thinly populated and undeveloped area. we want to create sustainable infrastructures that stimulate economic activity. which will in turn create new

kinds of jobs and economic development in saudi arabia. 'd the country is seeking alternatives to its based economy. should also boost tourism and attract startups and media production companies the entire c. . these energy requirements are to be supplied from renewable sources. of a huge amount of sunlight and ideal wind conditions so our energy system will run exclusively on primary energy. and this energy will then also be used for desalination. because water is a big problem here. is an acronym for a new future the plan is to create a city for 1000000 people in just 10 years but is that really feasible. might them if the 2 projects have something in common it's that they're not what

was originally hoped for blueprints and reality are miles apart the projects assume a managerial perspective which ignores the fact that cities are more than just infrastructure what draws people to living there is not something you can plan just like that. no one city and me are 2 visions of eco friendly high tech cities where people can actually enjoy life but will they actually get off the ground. cities like the land they have built on our finite. like we just saw you you know we should switch make sure our cities cry sustainably are the need of the hour what i hope to be is short give you some perspective on the burden on our cities and what we can do to reduce it that's all we have to be i'll see you again next week with a brand new episode of equal india for what entire team in india and germany good buy.

how is your view of the world. where i come from a little boy that's good just go it's just like with chinese food doesn't matter where i am it's a boy who is reminds me of home after decades of living in germany china's code is one of the things i miss the most but better take a guess that bad i see things i need to have different terminology benefits of growth as undergone a sense that exists. the other part of the law had been experimenting and trying to

catch me but i'm not going to tax people wondering if they're putting paid to it but if you feel how the ride to another place that is this is their job i presented to them how i see it and that's why i left my job because i tied to do executives at a day like name of awnings who and i work at it that you. 2 keep some or your 5 keys to safer food. clean to prevent contamination. for a draw and cook foods to avoid cross contamination. cook thoroughly to kill microorganisms.

keep food safe temperatures cold to prevent bacterial growth. use safe water and safer all materials to avoid kentucky thank. producers are the ones primarily responsible for the safety of the food in both but you can protect yourself and your family from diseases and a whole new pipeline the 5 keys to sea for food use them you also have a role to play here.
