ah, will you become a criminal ah, free climate? oh, ready news with hackers? paralyzed me, tire societies, computers that out. sure. you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can go in for it. but how they can also go terribly. watch it now on youtube. ah, this is d w. news asia coming up to day. india's climate in focus despite much needed monsoon. ryans, there are real warriors over the impacts of severe drought. trains holding water have become a lifeline to people in one arid region. we'll talk to an expert about the problem

and why the solutions being proposed to may not be enough. blas bringing water hi ms. largely women's work in india will take a look at an innovative network that's helping to save the scarce resource. ah, i'm jared raid. welcome to the shy, thanks for your company. it's monsoon season in india after beginning in may and building up over june, ryans covered the entire country over the weekend. the monsoon is a lifeline to farmers who depend on these ryans to grow. they crops like rice, but very dry areas in the north and west will be looking to the monsoon for relief as well. and intense hate live this year has bought drought to many parts of rochester state. here trains bringing 2000000 liters of water that become the only

reliable source of it. ah, these 40 wagons, all of them filled with water, or a lifeline for the state of for justin. this does that region often see temperatures bryce to about 45 degrees celsius. but this year the heat wave arrived early, big 3 months of drought has left thousands of inhabitants without water. either way, look, i opened the dap and there's no water at the moment. we only get water once every tindy's. without water, we can do anything. all i ask is for water to drink. twice a day, local authorities fill up the train with water from a lake nearby and transported over 60 kilometers. as soon as the train arrives, precedence flop to get their buckets filled. even though the water is not yet drinkable, it should be filtered by

a treatment plant before being redistributed. me every yeah gotta yes, this water's not filtered, but what can we do about it? plastic bottles are too expensive. we can't afford to buy them. this problem has never been so serious. look at what we're facing today. prolonged drought has wasn't the situation here. one of the driest regions in india, artificial lakes have been emptied since last august, giving farmers a hard time to put up and see the little walls. the water used to rise up to you. every thing was of merged. it has always been heartier, but such a lack of water i have never seen before. this lake was full. all the families had wadell this year. we have a real problem, silva and other residents. the only solution to their problems. for now, at least is to train we can speak now to dr. a. d team occur g, an expert on water issues who co wrote the chapter on water. in this use report

from the u. n's into governmental panel on climate change. she joins us from calcutta in india. welcome to d, w 's asia. we've just been seeing the effects of drought in india that people are hoping for relief with among soon rains which are happening now. how is that panning out the monsoons while they were supposed to be a moralist? normal they are, they are not being quite normal. there has been delays in various arts, but it's still the very beginning of the month so. so there are still dictations and predictions that them on soon over on will be normal for the continent as a whole. but even bit normal manzona, what happens is some regions gets maureen and some regions dec net. so over on it's been one month into the monsoon, and overall there have been a deficiencies with the prediction that those will be caught up in the, in the remaining 2 months or so. okay,

so some areas over on of break overall. how difficult. yeah, please go ahead. so overall, now overall, now her really difficult talk to him on so let me put it back to me. okay, so if you guys got to the victim difficult start to the monsoons as you say, some areas are expected to get normal rains, others less. india has also been experiencing torrential flooding. is this a case of sometimes either too little water or too much? yes, just now as we speak, there has been absolutely in children orland and massive floods happening in the northeast of india. and there are you're speaking of droughts in rogers on. so overall, yes, this is, this happens, this has happened in the past, but obviously as we know, the climate change is making these balance of too much rain and to let the rain you

know, much more regular. so what now we are having is, even though a monsoon, green fall can be no money over on my normal, i mean, why do you agree and dissimilar? but then tyrene phone back on and become very different. so you may have a huge range or even for a single day, and in a long stretches of drive it. and that is being one of the ways in which climate change has been affecting long. so no reinforced by changing the actual rainfall even. okay, so it's a very different patterns of rainfall as a result of climate change. i. i'd like to talk to a little about a little bit about some of the solutions earlier this year. you wrote in the journal nature that limiting global warming and i'm going to quote you here requires competent carbon emissions to plummet immediately, but too many carbon removal of if it's overlook, demands on water. could you explain what you mean by that? yes, so while we know that this is the kid where we have to take huge amount of mitigation

action, reduce carbon dioxide emissions from pretty much all i was just. we also know that if you don't plan those very when they would be negative impacts on water and land and food by this, i mean, i can give you an example of 40 station or 40 station when you're putting in new forest in regions that already water scares what it can do is those, those forest can actually use of young forest and use of too much water in that space. and the local water scarcity. the same applies for measures such as growing bio fuel crops, you know, as, as a substitute into it. and when you are devoting land to growing crops that are meant to be through in the food that can actually trigger things like and we increase cost of food and no decrease access of food, particularly to the poor. so that's what we meant by the very we need to look at the impact of mitigation, very carefully. having said that we cation will remain central. we have to mitigate,

we have to reduce c o 2 emissions. but we have to choose judiciously making sure that our mitigation does not. then you know, the other negative consequences in water, land or food. that was what i had meant in that article. you quoted ok. and if i understand you correctly, you're, you're basically saying that water needs to be put at the heart of all the solutions going forward. is water being ignored. and if so, why? that's a good question. i think in the climate community because of the way these treaties are framed, they the paris are be the glass go, the goal is carbon mitigation. so majority of the climate will all actually, all this, they go station state around or see what i think water is a what i would not say what it is, completely ignored, but just kind of invisible. it's not being as, as visible as say, the need to redo c o 2. and water is inherent in many things. as the example i was

giving that reducing c o 2 also has water implication. so i think it's after the water community and the climate community to come together and tease out these water implications, both for mitigation, but also the way people are adapting to changing climate. so, so yes, maybe a there isn't. we don't talk water enough in our climate time with stations and you're talking about about various stakeholders coming together. what should be done in terms of better better management and policy making? i think for me, one of the important things would be to have space on the table and the time to go see table both for the walk the community at large. because walk the community in the private community historically have not always walked closely together. i think that needs to change for a successful climate change mitigation or adaptation, but also overall what needs to happen is that those who will be most affected by

climate change and those communities are often the ones who may not have necessarily, and we did large amounts of carbon dioxide historically they also need a space and a voice in the table either for to indigenous communities or to low income countries. so i mean, that's already there for you. it's triple c processes, but it's just their voices needs to come out louder and have to be in more cognizance off in future discussions and actions. so 2 things. water needs to have a please. and the voices of those who have actually been deeply affected by climate gene have to have a voice of voice that matters. it's really great to get your insights today that was water expert, dr. dr. d t ma koji, we really thank you for your time. as we've been hearing india's water shortages are being worse and by climate change, but a dedicated group of women being cold. india's water friends are working to change that after years of back breaking work,

they're starting to see some really promising results. ah, taking away the rubble one stone at a time. these women are building a dam to bring a scarce resource back to their village water. they hope to finish the diamond time to catch some of the monsoon rains. the volunteers at heart of an initiative called jealousy. haley, which translates us or to friends that's valid. there's been a water problem for about a decade. we stand in line and wait for hours to get water from the pump. there have been fights over water. what fetching water has always been the responsibility of women in rural india, but in the drought had region of glendale. and their job has been getting harder and harder. many wells in the area have completely run dry. unable to irrigate their fields, farmers have had to give up their land and find work in the city. decades ago water was a community manager resource. now it's administered by india as government shouts.

a hayley is helping us volunteers rediscover old water storage techniques. oh, how did lane, and every month we hold the meeting, we discussed the drought prone areas of the region and find where we should stop the water. the ha, so that monsoon water is not wasted up on your back. a lot of other now and their efforts a paying off the work of the volunteers has transformed life in many villages. and through an information campaign, they're spreading the word to other communities. it's a bit of all what 113 villages are water sufficient with efforts from chelsea halley. now people get water throughout the year. they, they get water for drinking irrigation and for their animals. villages are prospering now that there's access to water again. that's the result of our work. and their worth is far from done. roughly 600000000 indians facing accused water

shortages daily. the water friends will perry on their efforts to make sure that water remains a resource available for all that seat for to day on t w. news asia will levy now with some pictures of india's contrasting where the conditions we'll see tomorrow of come have a v g t v highlights you every week in your in box. subscribe now. ah,

i think is everything jenny fair, some are big a muslim. so much different culture between here and there. so challenging for everything. ah, and to some of this i think it was worth it for me to come to germany. shove my got my license to work as a swimming instructor here on dish. and now i teach children and adults to swim discussion. what's your story? take part. share it on info, migrants dot net. ah ah, 30 records, it's highest inflation in nearly 25 years. officially, experts say the real cost of living has red, risen much higher. so to north turks will hear from them shortly. also on the show staff shortages are dragging down which should be

a summer of recovery for many restaurants and hotels in europe. visit madrid. hello, welcome to the show. i'm speaking beardsley in berlin. inflation in turkey has reached nearly 80 percent annually in june. that's according to official data provided by the turkish statistics institute. official being an important distinction here. economists and ordinary turks both say that costs have reduced have risen much faster than the government reports. a live chin dick hab reagan is in turkey, looking for doctors would be interested in working in their practice in munich. it's been, it's my uncle. i flew to anchor from germany. we have a massive shortage of skilled workers. if we can find good staff from abroad, will hit a wall, sonton them down the van farm to day. the neurologist and psychiatrist is meeting with us the or you are a psychologist who hopes to leave.
