ah, welcome to talk with him about hackers and paralyzing the tire societies. computers that out were you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can go in for, and that's how they can also go terribly. watch it now on youtube with we can't live without water on our planet. it plays a crucial role in our daily lives. we drink, it, grew crops, generate energy,
1:31 pm
and produced. its importance extends beyond human consumption, with every people from wild animals who the smallest flowers in our gardens needing water to survive. unfortunately, our ground water deserves are 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 some of that a now despite being a planet made up of 97 percent water, only 3 percent of this is for to conserving this water and finding ways of using and recycling it is the need of the a promising initiative. and newton is already working on this. let's take a look. the bengal yuru is a large city in southern india where not all residents receive running water. it's
1:32 pm
mostly only the more affluent section that does hold. but expert said 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 ready the calculation of the quadrant of a metropolitan city is using certain standards, which i think are outdated.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 at $200.00 leaders, but debit update. but most european city is not in 400 lead us. but capital, if you take duct figure, bank has sufficient water, it gets 1040000000 liters from the cavity for 40000000 population. and it gets a supplement of between 500 to 600000000 liters 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. i'm morty, equitable, and get the. ready some citizens are working to save water to father. this cause shannon probably lives in an apartment complex in north thank he and his residence
1:33 pm
association are looking for a way forward we should not reach to that stage where the water is not better dollar for consumption. so we have to start considering the water now, which since our basic concentration was on water consideration, we found that the water, which is used in apartments and due drill apartment is being wasted. first, his group of residents fitted taps with air eaters that reduced a 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 to or a one broadly drop water. so this much water week would sale in our apartment. that means one, broadly drove water. we stop extracting from the woman wise,
1:34 pm
10000000 liters of what are saved in a year is significant. the group wanted to do more, so they set up age 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. one of the idea to bring in lay people, housewives, physicians, charter counters. anybody who is concerned about his or huseby and who wants to see if he or she can make some change happen. while we all understand that there is a crisis of water ah, through bi weekly meetings, the forum has reached 50000 people. it estimates that these conversations have
1:35 pm
saved 50000000000 liters of water by jo in bangalore. they've used methods similar to those implied by solace. apartments like sewage treatment plants, rainwater harvesting smart meter installations and air it or 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 me hopefully emulated by others another bang glory and taking it beyond residential complex's is god with douglas hottie 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 and the youth lead
1:36 pm
campaign called glass off. and the goal was to try to understand what is that solution that would work redford oliver's, and that's when we came up with the idea. last half was the camp in now has the support of the national restaurant association of india, which helps 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 housing societies, to raise awareness among more citizens in this it up. what is not expected of sports? it's a participation. sports citizen should become of it up to vegas. we is that they can impact water positively. can me engagement, community action in cleaning up our lives of us bonds and streams. all these
1:37 pm
possibilities for citizens can be heartless. rainwater can we get our children to be white about water? you can be no hope. more citizen cooperation can generate a higher amount of water that moves reach all evidence of glue access to clean drinking water is becoming scarce. the region so on the world due to heat and drought in many of these areas with limited sources of water nearby, like rivers leaks or weld communities, struggle to find a solution. but for harvesting in areas where the fog is common, could provide much needed relief to them. let's find out how them the humidity they bring is a treasure. clouds of fog shroud the mountains of spain's good on canadian, at a time of increasing drought and water scarcity. every drop of water in them is
1:38 pm
a blessing. here as many as possible of these drops are being captured in nets. monitoring the process is the joke of sour oliva accommodate us, even when there is no fork. the environmental technician has worked to, to build a v. as in la la la, i'm checking if the filters here are in tags. so let me tell you. and if there is rubbish out, shooter, what do you mean by rubbish and you can get dirty from sand or leaves? well, sometimes there are tiny dead animals. 215 collect as when stole tier 2 years ago. it's a fairly simple system which requires a fog location and a bit of wind. when folk moisture raindrops accumulate on the mesh, the water drips down into the tank and then flows directly into storage units at different locations downhill by
1:39 pm
a multitude of houses. at 1 o'clock on the 3rd with the collectors that we have here, we could catch $300000.00 leaders water per year. according to the manufacturer. to date, we have captured 45000 winters. what they seen. we are of course, dependent on the weather jalie. my young, there are years when i can catch much more nailed, and others when it will be led north through. our goal is to reach $250000.00 leaders per year. i like to achieve that. you are young if we can't rely solely on this traditional model a little, but will also use newer designs that may be able to harvest even more water at a more. now they're both in my, your deficient oliver corporate us and 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 grand canada and recent history, the blaze devour to $10000.00 hacked as the scars it left us still visible to day.
1:40 pm
oh, different restoration projects are in full swing across the area, including on this hill side with 35 factors are being revived to tackle decertification. rising global temperatures make spain's cannery islands increasingly vulnerable to drought and fires. still fragile new tree seedlings are bedded in a bio degradable cocoon. it insures that the water that was harvested from the collector's won't evaporate too quickly and boosts the trees. survival, right? natalia, marital abbey, lat, leads the team here to her. this project is more than just a job. open carry one at the municipal. yeah. i live close by the real opening that i will. i saw the files cloud of smoke from the wildfire pilot and kept my suitcases in the car waiting to be evacuated. set it up, what? no middle, in the end it wasn't necessary for them. nothing on up,
1:41 pm
but at least now i have the opportunity to restore the affected area care. the island is part of me at this place in particular. oh good. i'm impressed. simha. i've been on the team have already planted 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 currently emptied manually. but research as i 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 or evaluate them orhan. this is a small pocket of laurel trees and it's a living example of what we want to achieve in the patio area and feeling. it's all
1:42 pm
thanks to fog 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 whether fog 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 ferryman cardona, the fuck hitches could be a game changer. his land is in walking distance of a collect us. he lost up to 10 hector as of pair apple and not trees in the 2019 fi of gram cannady foss. growing ferns have now taken over what was once an orchard or through or a solar fire burned everything to the ground and nothing was left yet only child
1:43 pm
the soil. this year though he planted 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. got on you every year, the summer's get longer and it rains less when it rains less in winter to on it's more difficult to maintain everything. yokohama, diffuse, because without water, if nothing work them is. that's why the fog water is genius. it's the solution loony revenue. because here we don't have any way of watering unless you assume for has no irrigation. similarly on, there are no, well, you know, the lady has no water. so i know there's only range and for coaches, you look at her and you know, in preparation for the hot summers 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 for events will be, but once the new trees are bigger,
1:44 pm
they will at least stabilize the local climate and protect somewhat against heat and decertification while ago, blah. so she lock up, though in the long run we will remove the collectors because the re forested area will at some point take on the work of harvesting humidity. i haven't seen little brovio. that's how forest work. look, they captured the humidity and historic in the soil. laudable, she done it well enough for soul olive accommodate us in the team. every tree met us, 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 worse than the water crisis,
1:45 pm
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 la, so to water, richly soto is keeping thirsty south africa alive, but the tiny, landlocked country is paying a high price for it. we didn't anticipate to that. the dams here in the so to liberty did misery. that is, bringing batter will warn will to the war. i see nothing of the better life that they promised us would grab it. if it were up to me, i would decide against that building the damn the needful water. i saw that she got grades high and the souls of such water remains the little islands were to project. we have been able to divert
1:46 pm
water. it was hard 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 dms is being built here to supply water to neighboring south africa. the entire village has been moved to another location. yes ma'am. how the construction work hit us hard. they had promised us jobs and i wasn't, our children are supposed to be earning something from this, but instead they're out of work for i babbled while other people in south africans get the jobs. we go hungry one and they also took our fields. yeah. so another about gas in the cornfields and grazing land. now, house construction workers, far from leading to greater prosperity,
1:47 pm
the dam has brought misery for residence. driving 8000 people from their 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. union kline hans has been monitoring it for a long time. he works for the organisation outer, which seeks to expose corruption and mismanagement, urbanized nations taking place and future development and expansion of business needs more water. the problem is we are only very limited to the water that we have in south africa, and 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
1:48 pm
one of the largest infrastructure projects in africa and it's 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 by the local project manager from the list. so to highlands authority tells us that in 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 what we, as the project helpful at number of programs which had been there, is customer lead with the community. so as ways that means ha, ha, ha, mitigating against the laws of land. that the laws over there,
1:49 pm
grazing earlier and perpetual mer to sea sick, we heard exactly the same promises 24 years ago when the cat saddam was built. all other dams feed that water into this reservoir, from where it's quite 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, the regime, and the military. it is a gym in minnesota. all those governments did not have monday to form the people day. days in need for the review of 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
1:50 pm
by the rain and ends up in rivers settlement. in many places, only rock remains told to say, lay as a consultant for a national project, the aims to protect the so toes, rivers, work as 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 otherwise whitehouse endemic ponds. he's roots help to keep the soil in place with the current erosion. the life of 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 rings of saving this or letting it
1:51 pm
now japanese research recently published the results of the large study on how much water human need every day. according to this research from bio individual, please a big which means water intake needs to read from person to puzzle. based on the habits i post has been monetized by the beverage induction, which is dominated by large corporations for decades. law local producers get a vote. dean, even though we are more sustainable when it comes to water use. let's take a look at an example of this in some united pull up the bottles. put them in place, covenant and chin. in a nutshell, that's ha gully. so does make a 65 year old sobre money. he has been making the sovereign in the city of harold in thumb a lot for more than 50 years using salt water through juice and flavoring.
1:52 pm
and i think that education was the least of my interests since i was 10 years old, iowa. so i got into the business of making cob when he to 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 cab when he did drink business. and 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 does all natural and the bottles of washed and re used super money. some phase, it's a lot of, but the effort pays off in taste. boom, number, whatever, but being our product have a today shelf light because their chemical free our 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 signature penny, or soda, florida. mm hm. sobre money used to sell to local businesses,
1:53 pm
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 brought to paulette flavors. but super money is in the freight of the competition . these committed to doing things by hand. what is a small beverage factory use of the money also supports the local businesses. since of his ingredients are locally sauced. he doesn't use preservatives, unlike most of the international sovereign produces that gulley sought as competing against many small soda manufactures. fear big names will squeeze them out of the market and distress the regional water supply
1:54 pm
dose concerns of fuel political activism, including protests in 2017. the origin of griggs was a ban on traditional bull damon, a decision that outraged many people here. but another issue emerged golds for more protection of local market from international douglas produces a little bit can on the order, not everyone demonstrated against foreign carbonated drinks. as while during the july cartoon protests, i only get a gun with the allowed amount trainers we supported that because we never felt the foreign beverages. but we still see how a lot of people prefer mcmillan them in no, no, really low. if our shop didn't offer foreign beverages people which is go to other shots and be creased to get them in out there today to do, i didn't learn typically a dozen of athlete from madison, mr. of pessimism. the recipe that for vanden and his father believe will help them in the future. goalie sorta has always been about recycling and selling local desired traits. today, after all,
1:55 pm
avoiding waste and reliance on diskin supply chains is becoming more important in the ear of climate change. and then i low on the local out, i'm a bit of fella enrollment bundling auto come again. yeah, i want to make sure that out of our so the products are available in all the local shots and diligence the the on the english on the body, anita colonel michael allowed to go get a kennel putting off on the some other one. he ended up, but i am confident that my son will one day deal with the family business and run it successfully. his goalie sort has proved that sustainability doesn't necessarily to quite a revolution. sometimes he only need to uphold every day traditions. it's up to the younger generation to recognize those traditions and maintain them. we exist mickel's water does. i hope this has been your takeaway from today's episode. consulting water is imperative for the survival of
1:56 pm
