by this time, the exiled turkish journalist meets svetlana, itsyana, sky, exiled leader of the opposition and bella, bruce, of course, i'm tired. i'm tired, physically untied. morally, it's too much on my shoulders, but i have to hold this weight because i'm responsible for the future of our country. for the people who are behind the boss. guardians of truth starts february 18th on d. w. ah, we can't live without water on our planet. it plays a crucial role in our daily lives. we drink it, grow crops, generate energy,

and produce its importance extends beyond human consumption, with every peak from wild animals for the smallest flowers in our gardens, leading water to survive. unfortunately, our ground water deserves our depleting, and the world is getting dryer by the d. so what can we do to address this growing problem? that's what we talk about today. hello and welcome to eco india. i'm son of that a. now, despite being a planet made up of 97 percent water, only 3 percent of this is portable. conserving this water and finding ways of reusing and he's cycling it is the need of the hour. a promising initiative in bangor noodle is already working on this. let's take a look. oh bang lou is a large city in southern india where not all residents receive running water. it's

mostly only the more affluent section that does. but experts say that the problem isn't a lack of water supply to the city. ready the calculation of the quadrant of a metropolitan city is using certain standards, which i think are outdated. so for example, we now calculate a $200.00 lead us, but tablet update, but most european city is not aim 400 liters. but capital, if you take duct figure, bank has sufficient water, it gets 1050000000 liters from the cavity for 40000000 population. and it gets a supplement of between 502600 1000000 dieters per day from ground water. so there's actually no scarcity of water sources. it's a question off getting some water for all and making sure that water distribution systems are moving equitable and get the. ready some citizens are working to save water to father. this cause shannon probably lives in an apartment

complex when not, he and his residence association are looking for a way forward. we should not reach to that stage where the water is not that dollar for consumption. so we have to start considering the water now, which then our basic concentration was on water consideration. we found that the water, which is used in apartment industrial apartment, is big listed 1st group of residents, fit it, taps with air rate of reduce the flow of water by 80 percent. then they set up a rain water harvesting system to meet their needs for one month. they also recycle their sewage and used it in toilets and for gardening and all the savings added up it comes through a one, broadly drove water. so this much water, we could sail apartment that wins one broadly drove water. we stop extracting from

the boardman wife. 10000000 liters of what are saved in a year is significant. the group wanted to do more, so they set up each recharge wells under the apartment to help replenish the water table. they did all this with the help of citizens action forum world of water. it's founder has walked in this area since the late 19 eighties trying to bring more people into the fold. ready one of the idea to bring in lay people, housewives, physicians charging counters in the body who is concerned about his r huseby and who wants to see if he or she can make some change happen. while we all understand that there is a crisis on water through bi weekly meetings. the forum has

reached 50000 people. it estimates that these conversations have saved 50000000000 liters of water by jo in bangalore. they've used meta similar to those employed by solace. apartments like sewage treatment plants, rainwater harvesting smart meter installations and airy tre fitting. it's about sensitizing, it's about constantly bringing more people into the fall and having existing people tell more stories of the work that they're doing in a way that such success. stories can be hopefully emulated by others another bang glory and taking it beyond residential complex's is god with douglas haughty. when she was a teenager, she read that 14000000 liters of water every year are wasted in glasses that

customers don't finish in restaurants. the revelation resulted in the youth lead campaign called glass off, and the goal was to try to understand what is that solution that would work well for all of us. that's when we came up with the idea of last half was the campaign now has the support of the national restaurant association of india, which help spread its message with their support. the campaign has managed to change the policies of around a 1000 restaurants. but they also work with volunteers, like the female members of the rotary club, who pay regular visits to restaurants, schools and how's you societies to raise awareness among more citizens in this it up? what is not expected of sports? it's a participate in sports citizen should become aware of the radius with that they can impact water positively can me engagement,

community action and cleaning up our lives of us bonds and streams. all these up possibilities for citizens can be harvest rainwater. can we get our children to be white about water? you can pay no hope more citizen cooperation can generate a higher amount of water that will reach all visitors. austin, glue access to clean drinking water is becoming scarce. visions around the world due to heat and drought. in many of these areas with limited sources of water nearby, like rivers leaks or wealth communities struggle to find a solution. but fog harvesting in areas where the fog is common could provide much needed relief to them. let's find out how. mm. mm. the humanity they bring is a treasure. clouds of fog shroud, the mountains of spain scan on canada. at

a time of increasing drought and water scarcity, every drop of water in them is a blessing. here as many as possible of these drops are being captured in nets. monitoring the process is the jug off, so we'll only back up at 8 us even when there is no fork. the environmental technician has work to do with the lawyer. little go. now i'm checking if the filters here are in tag school. so let me know. and if there is rubbish on shooter, what do you mean by rubbish and you can get dirty from sand or lambs. sometimes there are tiny dead animals to 15 collect as when stole tier 2 years ago. it's a fairly simple system which requires a fog location. and a bit of wind went for moisture or raindrops accumulate on the mesh. the water drips down into the tank and then flows directly into storage units at different

locations downhill by a multitude of houses. a what ogle? i got the other gothic with the collectors that we have here. we could catch $300000.00 leaders of water per year, according to the manufacturer. to date, we have captured 45000 meters. what they seen. we are of course not pending on the weather which are locally my and there are years when i can catch much more healed and others when it will be led north through. our goal is to reach $250000.00 leaders per year alone. to achieve that, you are young, if we can't rely solely on the traditional model a little, but will also use newer designs that may be able to harvest even more water at a more overboard than my, your deficient or leave accommodate us in the team of environmental experts he works with neat more water loading for 20000 new trees. only a few minutes drive from the fall collect as they are restoring an area that was ravaged by flames in 2019 them of them. it was the worst wildfire on the island of drunken nadia in recent history. the blaze devour to 10000 hacked as the scars it

left us still visible to day or different restoration projects are in full swing across the area, including on this hill side with 35 picked us up, being revived to tackle desertification. rising global temperatures make spain's cannery islands increasingly vulnerable to drought and fires. still fragile new trees he links. i bet it in a bio degradable cocoon. it ensures that the water that was harvested from the collector's won't evaporate too quickly and boosts the trees. survival right. natalia marital avi lot leads the team here to her. this project is more than just a job. open carry one. and when you see people, yeah, i live close by 11 and then i will. i saw the 1st cloud of smoke from the wildfire and kept my suitcases in the car waiting to be evacuated, said about what?

no matter what in the end, it wasn't necessary. but i mean, nothing rumpled, but at least now i have the opportunity to restore the affected area where the island is part of me, but this place in particular, oh good. i meant that similar ha, up there in the team, have already planned at half of the trees for the life near black project, which has received millions of euros in financing from the local government. and you the deposits of a fork water, a currently emptied manually. but research as are trialing, a storage system that releases the water autonomously into areas where it is needed . they have observed that the system has already improved soil moisture in areas where they planted new trees. it's giving the team here hope that their job will bear fruit some days soon for a while you them orhan. this is a small pocket of laurel trees and it's a living example of what we want to achieve in the pin your area. and then feeling

it's all thanks to falk created by the coastal climate and clouds ascending to the cooler mountain region. a similar project has also been set up in portugal. and both locations experts are examining where the fuck catching could be an effective way to protect against drought and fires. in other eric climates across the mediterranean and beyond. similar systems in chile and morocco, supply water to small villages for pharma, ferman cardona, the fuck hetcher's, could be a game changer. his land is in walking distance of the collector's. he lost up to 10 hector as of pair apple and not trees in the 2019 fi of ground cannady. fast growing ferns have now taken over what was once an orchard. a soccer fire burned everything to the ground level, nothing was left yet and i'm only child to soil this year though,

he wanted again apple trees. and during the hot, dry months, his neighbors from life near blessed supplied water. in the past, harriman cardona was dependent on rainfalls, california every year, the summer's get longer on it rains like when it rains less in winter to on is more difficult to maintain everything. yokohama, diffuse, because without water, if nothing work them ok. that's why the fog water is genius. it's the solution or near 11 mucus. here we don't have any way of watering. illustrious jumper has no irrigation similarly on. there are no, well, you know, the lady, there's no water. so i know there's only rainwater there shall fall couches look or thought of earlier in preparation for the hot summer's he wants to install his own for collectors to make the most of a resource that is right within reach. in the face of the deepening climate crisis,

it is not clear how reliable folk events will be, but once the new trees are bigger, they will at least stabilize the local climate and protect somewhat against heat and decertification. allah go blah. so she lock up though in the long run we will remove the collectors because the reforest at area will at some point take on the work of harvesting humidity for our currency in little public. that's how forest work, that'll sugar goblin what they capture the humidity and stork in the soil level. she done it well enough for soul ali recovered it, us and the team every tree matters grand canada is counting on its fork. collectors to help heal the wounds of the devastating wildfire and safeguard the island against future disaster. drinking water is very unevenly distributed around the world with horton added regions in latin america, asia and africa facing severe shortages when dams are built. miskin was on the

water crisis when near by regions and communities like we've seen in and around china and ethiopia. exporting drinking water can also have serious impacts. let's take a look at how mrs. playing out in little to walter, rich, la soto is keeping thirsty south africa alive, but the tiny, landlocked country as paying a high price for it. we didn't anticipate that the dams here in the so to literally the misery that is bringing perhaps worn or 2. i see nothing of the better life is that they promised us what if it were up to me, i would decide against building the dam. the needful water i saw africa remains high and the soles of such water remains in the pseudo and what approach we have been able to die. that was time

to south africa. but we are limited by the quality of our environment. phase 2 of the la soto highlands water project started 3 years ago. one of 5 damage is being built here to supply water to neighboring south africa. the entire village has been moved to another location. as the construction work hit us hard, they had promised us jobs or children are supposed to be earning something from this. but instead they're out of work for about a while. other people in south africans get the jobs we go hungry. when they also took our fields to another about the pool sales and grazing land. now house construction workers far from leading to greater prosperity

. the damn has brought misery for residence. driving 8000 people from the homes. the water will flow to south africa's financial hub, johannesburg, 400 kilometers away for the 16000000 people in the city and surrounding province la. so toes dams a vital and already provide 60 percent of their water since the project is financed with south african taxpayers money. eula, kline hans has been monitoring it for a long time. he works for the organisation outer, which seeks to expose corruption and mismanagement, urbanized ations taking place and future development. then expansion of business needs more water. the problem is we are only very limited to the water that we have in south africa. we don't have innovative technologies and circulated infrastructure yet to recycle water. and currently we highly rely on the las

darlene's face to scheme to provide future demands. it's one of the largest infrastructure projects in africa and is supposed to benefit both sides. south africa, paisley soto, nearly $70000000.00 euros a year for the water. and the soto uses the dams to generate electricity for its population of the local project manager from the list. so time, highlands authority tells us, let him 5 years time. the dumb wool will stand right here. $5000.00 hectares of land will them be flooded? as we are all away, this kind of projects would have social impacts and environmental impacts. and are we as the project template, number of fi programs, which had been there, discussed mac lead vocal amenities are as ways and means of ha ha, mitigating against the laws of land that the laws over there,

grazing earlier and perpetual mer to sea sick, we heard exactly the same promises 24 years ago when the cap saddam was built. all other dams feet that water into this reservoir, from where its pike to south africa. sick, we worked for the se and only legal center. the project was conceived georgia by 2 undemocratic governments of south africa, apathy division, and the military. it is jim in the social those governments did not have mandate from the people they did, they say a need for the review of this. and the project is also threatened by massive soil erosion, the construction of the dams, along with overgrazing and climate change mean more and more soil is being eroded

by the rain and ends up in reference, a sediment in many places only by rock remains totally to say lay as a consultant for a national project, the aims to protect the so toes, rivers, work. his hair, rebuilding low walls into the hillside to reduce the speed and force of rain. water run off and prevent erosion. they also remove invasive shrub, but what otherwise whitehouse endemic clones, he's roots help to keep the soil in place with the current erosion the life off, such dems would be fairly compromised the lifetime, because in no time there will be more full of sediment done water. so this would be last investment. in my opinion, i read the ring of saving this or letting it

now japanese researchers recently published the results of the large study on how much water humans need every day. according to this research and bio individual amity, please, a big choice, which means water intake needs to read from person to puzzle based on the habits of post has been monetized by the beverage induction, which is dominated by large corporations for decades. small local producers get abroad in, even though there are more sustainable when it comes to water use. let's take a look at an example of this in somebody not pull up the bottles, put them in place, covenant and chin in a nutshell, that's ha goalie. so does mate 65 year old superman, he has been making the soft drink in the city of harold and tom allotted for more

than 50 years, using salt water through juice and flavoring. and alan, and i think that occasion was the least of my interest since i was 10 years old or whatever. so i got into the business of making cob juanita drinks early. it took 17 long years to learn the nuances of the business of this experience gave me the confidence to start up my own cop. when he did drink business. well, i began out of the beverage has been popular in india since the 19th century and my monthly friendly from the get go. the so dies all natural and the bottles of washed and re used super money son phase. it's a lot of, but the effort base off in taste boom number put it, but the non product have a today shall flight because their chemical free are signature pin. your soda are most unique flavor tastes like pure rose and it's very popular. any wrote, we offer a total for flavors, ginger orange color in our sick nature penny, or soda. fordham. super money used to sell to local businesses,

but he stopped with advancing age. now he has his own shop. every day he sells up to 200 gully sodas and as many as 600 on weekends in the distinctive dented bottles . there are other goodies, automakers in the road who have their own online presence. use machine production and offer a broad paulette flavor with super monies in the front of the competition. these committed to doing things by hand. what is a small beverage factory use of the money also supports other local businesses? since of his ingredients are locally sauced. he doesn't use, deserves, unlike most of the international software, produces that gully, sort of competing against money, small sort of manufacturers fear big names will squeeze them out of the month and distress the regional water supply

dose concerns of fuel political activism, including protests in 2017. the original trigger was a ban on traditional bull damon, a decision that outraged many people here, but another issue emerged. goldsboro, more protection of local market from international beverage produces a little bit can on the order. not everyone demonstrated against foreign carbonated drinks, as while during the jalap cartoon protests and i only get a gun with the allowed amount of traitors. we supported that because we never sell the foreign beverages, but we still see how a lot of people prefer mcmillan them in the know really low. if our shop didn't offer foreign beverages people which is go to other shops and be crease to get them in out there today to do, i didn't learn. typically, it doesn't evacuated from madison in a sort of pessimism. the recipe that for vernon and his father believe will help them in the future. goalie sorta has always been about recycling and selling locally desired traits. today, after all,

avoiding waste and reliance on biskin supply chains is becoming more important in the ear of climate change. and then i'll on the local out, i'm a bit of fella, angel meant bundling model. i come ok. i want to make sure the art, if are so the products are available in all the local shots and villages either on the england either brought it, anita, cornel, michael aladdin. get it, you know, putting in on, on the some other one he and had that, but i am confident that my son bill when did equal with the family business and run it successfully. heated goalie sort has proved that sustainability doesn't necessarily to quite a revolution. sometimes you only need to uphold every day tradition. it's up to the younger generation to recognize those traditions and maintain that we exist because water does. i hope this has been your take away from today's episode. consulting water is imperative for the survival of our species and other

living organisms on it. i'll leave you with that court and see you again next week . good bye. and thanks for watching. with lower with
