and the dates for the water to produce an extra switching. and then it usually has a very strong and cold pink of water so that there's also effecting other types of organisms in the, in but down building is a bad in other ways to steal and cement, to use, to build plans. some of the most common intensive materials on of and as know, remember when i said hydro is any kind of green and sustainable? one big reason that's true is because greenhouse gas emissions from aggressive was in the tropics, have proved to be, did q. there's a sub much trees degrade much faster than normal. they release meet the and end up making. hydro projects was for the climate, then comparable coal plants. this national graphic shows the more immediate impacts . the 3 gorges dam flooded, 13 cities a 140 downs, and over 1300 villages, up river. it even changes the local weather, being so huge,

it's even cause or quakes in the region. the other took them until he has created a huge block to the tigers. that is, ended up causing severe water shortages down the river in iraq. and then in the molly, as with 550 projects underway, dams has made the impact of land slides was over the years. hydro dams have also displaced at least 18000000 people from the homes. the big push for hydro today is coming from the time of movement since compared to fossil fuels. hydro doesn't look so bad. i cooked 26 in 2021. many countries pushed for hydropower as a key source of clean energy in that makes in early 2023. the international renewable energy agency declared that we need hydropower capacity to double by 2050 the limits global warming to 1.5 degrees. this brings us to the iron the in the 2 hydro has had its blue murphys and today this decks that's meant to mitigate the

time of crisis is becoming a big victim of the crisis itself. as rivers i the flag on dry up the productivity of all kinds of hydropower, big and small is dramatic. the dropping the climate aspect is generally being considered the new dumb projects. even on the last on tax rivers. in we build on these large hydropower dams that are currently 1052 percent of the remaining, the free flowing river, the big loss in the tropics. they wouldn't be fragmented, so we need hydro, but do we still need them. ready there is a potential for a 9 percent increase in global hydropower top city without building any new facilities. kayla got it. most of the hydro research lab in texas when they looked into 3 ways in which this could be done. the 1st category was dams that i use for

anything other than hydro power, which i've already had an impact on the environment. maybe put in generators turbine. i think it's the transmission line or the scale of an entirely new tory development to retrofit a, an existing not on power dam for generation. there is a lot of on top essential there. the 2nd category was plants that need upgrading, including generally 2 units of software upgrades. and then up to a category. there is a fund of dams that are like a smaller scale. so that may be, you know, a farmer, he's got a small dam built in his property to create a bond or small late for his farming operations. there's this many additional opportunities for high your power development. a very small gales, which in developing countries may be a much more the hello global,

equitable and quick integration where hydropower projects that 9 percent boost isn't what the energy agency says is needed. but it's a significant step in the energy goals can also argue is that it makes almost sense from an economic standpoint. sometimes might still need to be built, but these can be used for more than just hydro, in general. and this is kind of a key. we're going to have to think in a whole system. and this is also true for thinking in terms of renewables. it's important to think about how to combine learning goals. so like, so now what, what time like winds and so on. this is already happening in some places one portugal giants ok. but as before, closing solar panels, feed soul plus energy directly into the dams hydropower. so some projects like these have a lot of potential to use existing hydro as diet batteries to store renewable

energy. energy from hydro needs to be a part of the future, but not of the cost of so much else. when this is considered, we can move towards a truly green future pop of focus on and almost all of nothing there are located in the email. again, just explain on several of the was more these are also located here and i grew up and one subsidy. growing up, schools would be shut down because of a smog in the winter months. i mean, we will move out of our windows and just see small and nothing is, i mean it's still the same buttons for my best friend to add as my wouldn't offer. so pop in our house. and i didn't like that much watches the falls of this as a nuisance. and what have as a nuisance to that? that's find out every year when the temperature dips in winter, the quality in the bucket dining city of la hor quickly goes from bad to worse.

when the land goes down, pollution from dogs in factories doesn't get blown away from the city. and instead farms of take small small is especially bad for children's health. and that's why many schools get students days off to avoid forcing them to commute in the polluted city. so long usually starts and when the 1st list goes on she was in building my scores so i can see my friends anymore. and everyone usually stays home during small season. this 1100 bed children's hospital is frequented by young patients suffering from respiratory issues. studies have shown that increased exposure to add pollution can even have long term impact on the development of children's. you're logical and cognitive capacities. you guys suck any good, but the new combination may smoke. is it give me good combination of fog and as

small as the smoke season approaches? there is a higher incidence of pneumonia allergy as to mount flu and throat infection which can have long term effects. if our dentist dips are not taken for the home, good music which are 2 steps, nadia, that the punjab environmental protection department is tasked with addressing the root causes of air pollution in the hard fewer and the departments control room. they monitor and quality constantly to issue warnings to citizens the whole or take literally appeals and lists of the most polluted cities and the, what the departments team is also improving existing laws. and now they are focusing on a specific solution to reduce the air pollution that's gotten was due to organization . a bit of a nice ation dismiss. all the little webpage i knew as more and more people come to the cities. there is agreed to stream on the resources of apple. small gas are needed and moved construction activity takes place here. we'll bump the dot here

and then to provide the sources to the cities that are bridges and factories or things that tried to be close to the city felt better access and convenient supply . perfect to hear me sending all this causes concentrated air pollution in the cities full talk, a good to communication of will be so you will keep your supply at full speed with us. and you can do have or function condense or just the issue that are close to $8000.00 breakdowns in the state of punjab, alone, contributing to an estimated 10 percent of the pollution in the region. in the past, they used an antiquated making meta, this procedure required goal to be boned and the furnace. a process that's not environmentally friendly for leasing. smoke with a high density of carbon monoxide and particular toyota and been job almost 60 percent of them have been converted to news executives. this and the small squad is inspecting big guns to oversee the transition, to this exact method. and make sure annoying,

legal fuel is being used. that will put in a tim knew that the previous type it to me and me to the black smoke which flowed down with the changing rain plus the how on each other we had to face health issues due to that will put off again. but now we have no issues and if was in the smoke is far less surface, so we and is white in color. now we come to god was different because the brakes are placed in a zigzag pattern inside the can. that creates literally passages between them and allows the heat to be even be distributed. the fuel added from the top bones more efficiently using fuel consumption and emissions. converting the traditional can into as exec and costs up to 10000 euros. however, the investment can be legal within a year, and the benefits to health and the environment are enormous. altered these estimate, overall pollution levels have already have compared to the previous here. as the

yearly small period ends, monday, i'm eager to leave the guns to school. today i'm going to because the small circle, i hope next for the rest of my life going forward, the cities administration has plans to help reduce values by improving public transit and creating a network of vikings. the hardest set to go in the coming years. it citizens, the hoping authorities will drastically reduce the evolution so that it's $13000000.00 residents can finally read easy. today is episode got us away from the city and into the win is where most of in dallas. and today i lost a little more about both indoor and outdoor pollution and the people who are trying to find the solutions for this. and what we learn to is that there is still some hope, but you will let me know what to do like the most about these episodes. and what would you like to see more of, you can write to us at equal in the day to d,

w dot com. and keep coming back every week for more such as when transferred me to fields and forests and villages. until then, have a great week, dick asked, who soon dose gosh, the the
