on d, w, as you go to use is to thought they will grey you will be with 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, and produced its importance extends beyond human consumption, with everything from wild animals for 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 day. 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 and 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 recycling it is the need of the hour. a promising initiative in bangor noodle is already working on this. let's take a look. all mangled euro is a large city in southern india where not all residents receive running water. it's mostly only the more affluent section that does build. but experts say that the problem isn't a lack of what a supply to the city with the calculation of the government, if

a metropolitan city is using certain standards, which i think are outdated. so for example, we now calculate a 200 lead us, but debit update, but most european city is not aim 400 lead us but got because if you take the duct figure, bank has sufficient water, it gets 1040000000 liters from the cavity for $40000000.00 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 are moving equitable inject. ready the some citizens are working to save water to father. this cause shannon problem probably lives in an apartment complex and not thank. he and his residents association are looking for a way forward we should not reach to that stage where the water is not

bad at all. 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 being wasted. plus his group of residents fitted taps with area of that 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 started one broadly drove water. so this much water, we could sale. you know what apartment, that means one, broadly drove water, we stop or to expecting from the boardman wise, 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 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 of water ah, 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 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 party 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 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. 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 support? it's a participate in sports citizen should become aware of the vegas. we use that they can impact water positively, can me engagement, community action and 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 residence austin, 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 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 them the humidity they bring. is a treasure clouds of fog shroud, the mountains of spain's good. i'm canadian, 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 job off, sour only back of it 8 us. even when there is no fork, the environmental technician has work to do with the lawyer logo, i'm checking if the filters here are in tags. so let me tell you, 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 stalled here 2 years ago. it's a fairly simple system which requires a fog location. and a bit of wind. when folk moisture al raindrops accumulate on the mesh, the water drips down into tank and then flows directly into storage units at different locations downhill by a multitude of houses. at 1 o'clock on the 3rd 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 winters. what they seen. we are of course, dependent on the weather which a little lee 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 like to achieve value 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. and a more of their bought them by your deficient oliver corporate us and the team of environmental experts. he works with, need more water rolling for 20000 mew 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 devoured 10000 act as the scars that left us still visible to day or 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 married or abby law leads the team here to her. this project is more than just a job. open carry one after municipal. yeah, i live close by hearing that i will. i saw the fires cloud of smoke from the wildfire pilot and kept my suitcases in the car waiting to be evacuated. set it up what? no medical in the end, it wasn't necessary for them, nothing rumbled, 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 great. i meant the 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 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. for a value thermal hm. 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 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 for 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 no rush, were fire, burned everything to the ground for them. nothing was left on the child's soil. this years old he planted again, apple trees, and during the hot, dry months his neighbors from life nibble us, supplied water. in the past,

harmon cardona was dependent on rainfalls got on you 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, nothing work them. okay, so that's why the fog water is genius. it's the solution or any 11 mucus here we don't have any way of watering. illustrious jumper has no irrigation and there are no, well, you know, there is no water. so i know there's only rain and fall couches colonial in preparation for the hot summers he wants to install his own for collect us 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, they will at least stabilize the local climate and protect somewhat against heat

and decertification. a lot of go blah. so see, 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. oh, i haven't seen little brovio. that's how forest work. with chicago blue book, they captured the humidity and historic in the soil. lovable she done it well enough for south olive accommodate us in 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 a future disaster. drinking water is very unevenly distributed around the wood, 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 it on china and ethiopia,

exporting drinking water can also have serious impacts. let's take a look at how mrs. playing out in little water, 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 damn ca into so to wendy, the misery that is bringing back a warning will to the law. i see nothing of the better life that they promised us would. rather if it were up to me, i would decide against that building. madame that is needful water. i saw a lovely car grades high and the souls of such water remains the little islands were to project. we have been able to divert water. it was hard africa, but we are limited by the quality of our environment. phase

2 of the le soto highlands water project started 3 years ago. one of 5 dams is being built here to supply water to a neighboring south africa. the entire village has been moved to another location warmer. 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 food one and they also took our fields till another about gas in the cornfields and grazing land. now, how's construction workers? far from leading to greater prosperity, 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 me. urbanized ations taking place and future development and expansion of business needs more water. and 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 jar lens phase 2 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. under soto uses the dams to generate electricity for its population of the local project manager from the list. so to highlands authority tells us that 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 what we, as the project pebble at number of programs, which had been there, is customer lead vocal many desert as ways and means of ha ha, mitigating against the laws of land. that the laws over there are crazy. we have an 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 santa legal center. the project was conceived georgia by to an democratic governments of south africa, apathy division, and the military. it there at the gym in the social. those governments did not have monday to form the people they did the dice in need for the review of disability. the project is also threatened by massive soil erosion. the construction of the thumbs along with over grazing and climate change. mean that more and more soil is being eroded by the rain and ends up in riff as a sediment. in many places, only by a rock remains totally to say, lay as a consultant for

a national project. the aims to protect the so toes, rivers. workers 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 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 rings 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, 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 industrial, which is dominated by large corporations for decades. small 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 thumbnail pull up the bottles. put them in place, covenant and chill. 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 the world and thumb a lot for more than 50 years, using salt water through juice and flavoring and alan, and i think that education was the least of my interest since i was 10 years old. i

was so i got into the business of making cop 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 cab 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, san phase. it's a lot of, but the effort pays off in taste. boom number put it, but the non product have a today shelf light because they're chemical free are signature, pin your soda or most unique flavor. tastes like pure gross, and it's very popular. any wrote, we offer a total for flavors, ginger orange color in our signature penny, or soda boredom. sobre 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 brought to paulette flavors. but super monies in the freight of the competition is committed to doing things by hand. what is a small beverage factory use of the money also supports other local businesses and of his ingredients are locally sauced. he doesn't use preservatives, unlike most of the international sovereign, produces that gulley sort of competing against money, small sort of manufacturers fear big names with the squeeze them out of the month and a stress, 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 golf for more protection of local market from international beverage produces a little bit. canada, oregon, everyone demonstrated against foreign carbonated drinks, as while during the jalap cartoon protests, 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 to go on that in the no, no, 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 of their day to day. i didn't, i typically buy them in a vacuum, either 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, avoiding waste and reliance on distance supply chains is becoming more important in the ear of climate change. and then i'll on the local out on what bit of fella

angel meant brunley nozzle. i come ok, i want to make sure that out if our soda products are available in all the local shots and villages either on the england either brought it anita cornel, michaela the we'll get it, you know, putting in on, on the some other one. he ended up, but i am confident that my son bill, one day depot 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 tradition. it's up to the younger generation to recognize those traditions 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
