oh, ready knows. welcome to take to with hackers, paralyzing between your societies computers than elsewhere you and governments that go crazy for your data. we explain how these technologies work, how they can go in for green, but how they can also go terribly, watch it now new to ah 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,
6:31 am
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 portable. conserving this water and finding ways of using and he's cycling it is the need of the hour. a promising initiative in bengal noodle is already working on this. let's take a look. oh banga lulu is a large city in and india where not all residents receive running water. it's
6:32 am
mostly only the more affluent section that does. but experts lead to the problem isn't a lack of water supply to the city. ready the calculation of the requirement of a metropolitan city is using certain standards, which i think are outdated.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 grab it up or date. but most european city is not in 400 lead to spend capital . or if you take duct figure, the bank has sufficient water. it gets 1000 folks of the 1000000 liters from the cavity for the 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 of getting some water for all and making sure that water distribution systems i'm already credible and get the. ready some citizens are working to save water to father this cause shavone and probably lives in an apartment
6:33 am
complex and not he and his residents 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 then our basic concentration was on water consideration. we found that the water, which is used in apartment due drill apartment is being wasted. plus your group of residents fitted 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 from one, broadly drove water. so this much water we could see, do you know or apartment,
6:34 am
that means one broadly trough. what are we stopper extracting from the boardman wife? 10000000 liters of water saved in a you're 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 daughter 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 ah, through bi weekly meetings,
6:35 am
the forum has reached 50000 people. it estimates that these conversations have 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 airy to 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 hottie when she was a teenager, she read that 14000000 liters of water every are wasted in glasses,
6:36 am
but customers don't finish in restaurants. the revelation resulted in the youth led campaign called glass off one to 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 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 housing societies, to raise awareness among more citizens in this it up. what it's not a spectator sport. it's a participation. sports citizen should become aware of the biggest ways that they can impact water positively. can me engagement,
6:37 am
community action in cleaning up or late sort of us bonds and streams. all these possibilities for citizens can be harvest rainwater. can we get our children to be white about water? you? campaign of 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 wealth communities struggles 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 humidity they bring is a treasure clouds, a fog shroud, the mountains of spain scan on canada. at
6:38 am
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, sour only back of it 8 us. even when there is no fork, the environmental technician has work to do with the lawyer. i am checking if the filters here are in tags. so let me know. and if there is rubbish, all shooter, what do you mean by rubbish? and you can get dirty from sand or lambs. well, 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, when folk moisture raindrops accumulate on the mesh, the water drips down into tank and then flows directly into storage units at
6:39 am
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, and according to the manufacturer, to date, we have captured $45000.00 leaders. what they seen. we are of course attendance on the weather, which will hopefully 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 alone to achieve value. young if we can't rely solely on this traditional model a little, but we'll also use newer designs that may be able to harvest even more water at a more. no, they're both in 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. some of them, it was the worst wildfire on the island of gran canada. in recent history,
6:40 am
the blaze devoured 10000 act as the scars it left while 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 tree seedlings abetted in a biodegradable cocoon. it insures that the water that was harvested from the collect as 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 warner. and when you sepia. yeah. i live close by. he really mad i. when i saw the 1st cloud of smoke from the wildfire pilot and kept my suit cases in the car waiting to be evacuated, said about what?
6:41 am
no medical in the end, it wasn't necessary for them. nothing about that, but at least now i have the opportunity to restore the affected area where the island is part of me better, but this place in particular, oh good. i'm impressed. similar ha, whatever 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 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 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. that's
6:42 am
a 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 fork hetcher's could be a game changer. his land is in walking distance of the collect us. 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 recycler fire burned everything to the ground level. nothing was left on the child's soil.
6:43 am
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, california every year, the summer's get longer and it rains like a minute. it rains less in winter to on. it's more difficult to maintain everything . yokohama, diffuse because without water, if nothing worked him. okay, so that's why the fog water is genius. it's lisa lucia lu, near 11 mucus. here we don't have any way of watering. illustrious jumper has no irrigation snow on, there are no, well, you know, the lady or is no water. so i know there's only range and for couches you thought of earlier 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,
6:44 am
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 force word, awful, chicago, blue book, they capture the humidity and store in the soil. laudable, 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
6:45 am
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 back of a wall will to the i see nothing of the better life that they promised us with that if it were up to me, i would decide against building the damn. that is needful. water islip africa rains high and the souls of such water remains the little islands were to project. we have been able to divert water
6:46 am
add to a sub 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 domains 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, our 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 one and they also took our fields. yeah. so another about gas in the cornfields and grazing land. now, hows construction workers far from leading to greater prosperity,
6:47 am
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. 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 last 2
6:48 am
islands 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 la soto highlands, authority, tulsa, let him 5 years time. the dumb wool bull stand, bright hair, $5000.00 hectares of land will them be flooded? as we are all away, this plan 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 that means ha, ha ha, mitigating against the laws of land that the laws over there, grazing,

earlier in perpetual mer to sea sick, we heard exactly the same promises 24 years ago when the cat saddam was built. all other dams feet that water into this reservoir, from where its pike to south africa. sick we worked for the santa legal center. the project was conceived georgia by 2 undemocratic governments of south africa, apathy, the regime, and the military. it is jim, in mistletoe. those governments did not have monday to form the people they did their days in neat for the review of disability. the project is also threatened by massive soil erosion, the construction of the dams,
6:50 am
along with over grazing and climate change. mean that more and more soil is being eroded by the rain and ends up in rivers. 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, walk us hair, rebuilding low bowls into the hillside to reduce the speed and force of rain war to run off and prevent erosion. they also remove invasive shrubs that would otherwise wipe out endemic plants whose roots helped to keep the soil in place with the current erosion. the life of such stems would be fairly compromised the lifetime, because in no time there will be more full of sediment done. water, so this would be lost investment, in my opinion, a ring of saving this or letting it fall.
