how was, what is the week forward, convenes and cards. our people will be gone based on weight. i mix people for them in the 77 percent in 60 minutes on the w. these places in europe are the record step into a little bit venture. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters, discover some of us record breaking site on google back youtube. and now also in the book form the what's the ease of the souls of life for every living thing, with a plant or animal. and it is also the focus of this week's program. so welcome to
8:31 am
e casa and sandra tree. nobody is coming to you from complex right here, and you get, hey, sandra, it's great to be here with you. once again, as you can see, it's a beautiful day here in oregon state. i am chris olives and here's what's coming up on today's program. we need to increase line means the awareness in donna fits in boats with electric motors in kenya, and using a print out the previous food teams to find out how more than the quartet of old gun and leave on the coast. so protecting water there is of vital importance, but not just close to waters inland waters to our report. i and gone now went to learn more about how local activities are raising awareness.
8:32 am
but that is put on his coffee, made recycled swim suits and his buddies. this women of 11 kilometers is it has been shall cover every day for 40 days. and that's an overall root of 450 kilometers. passing along the volta river. and then to lake volta, the world's largest of the official reservoir. it's one of the few lakes in gunnar, that is so clean enough to swim and active as the ivory business attempting to touch as part of a scientific expedition that's seeking to draw attention to the pollution of gunners, waterways. so much of the reason that i'm part of this expedition and working with a cruise to do this research is because it is so encouraging and so amazing to be able to swim and simple to river like this. and i love to see of the war from buddies and so on, and specifically across the, the swimming the again this down to can painting against environmental pollution
8:33 am
from ages ago. and that's when she came into contact with the oil foundation and environmental justice nonprofit, that organized expedition. other members of the team also spend time on the water to take samples of various points along the route of collecting some work to reduce to get some data about temperature ph on the purpose build solar power, both the samples of our lives and the small lab others looking especially for mike or 5 of tech styles. that's not the only thing here. we can see that the color is very different from the rest of the water that we've been swimming along. so he is a green. uh, it really changes. i mean, it depends on the places where we, uh, if we are close to villages, for example, we will be collecting some samples for back to a logical tests. if we are close to factories or industrial areas,
8:34 am
we will be checking for heavy metals, for example. like yeah, the other villages better, which now has a number of industrial sites like the sun, mind, the pollution it creates has had a devastating impact on the local fishing industry. the area is to have lots of fish. this yeah, uh a while ago. then all the fish are gone to the center of the san minding and the leg has destroyed our livelihood sign. uncle is yeah, oklahoma we are a fisherman again. that's how we make a living and assessing, and it's a name, but now we even struggle to find enough fish to eat ourselves and the guidelines. acosta often on the mining industry is going totally harming the environment. it also makes the process of purifying drinking water much more expensive the spectrum work, i would sewage a month, a settlement, and so the price will generally be broken down more often than anticipate. so cost
8:35 am
of meeting us on these forms. also most of the, the, the 2 of us will have to be back to what i know, what are we done most of what we use and that's just one problem. chemicals and ways from households in other industries. also good time. they the water long with many of 15000000 items of 2nd hand clothing center gone every week. well, the 50 percent of it ends up in huge weight feeds and across like good hundreds of what the samples i've been analyzed by the foundation. everywhere we sample and we see some degree of pollution in some places. of course it's better than others. but what our goal is with this research is to really drive towards action so that the level of pollution we see here and across does not spread and replicate in other areas of the country. and we can find pathways to clean up the pollution that's here. and across the old foundation is loving the government,
8:36 am
but also wants to raise public awareness just how harmful the waste is. the important clothing waste in particular. so many people don't even understand that we have a 2nd and 3rd thing coming from the global to the global south, or that there are other issues that are affecting the policy of our water. so what we want to do is really hope to bring attention in awareness to the quality of the water and the issues that i play here to get people involved. this was the fact that the 1st 2 men contain is feeling tight but optimistic that one day given the lagoon and across once again the clean enough to swimming off temperatures rise as sources, dry up. more and more communities around the world are left without access to clean water. that's why assigning two's the name chose of working hard to find solutions for harvesting in areas we have full just come and provide much needed relief.
8:37 am
let's find out how they do it in spain. that you made a t they bring is a tricia clowes, a fuck shroud, the mountains of spain's good. i'm kind of idea at a time of increasing drought and we'll discuss the t. every drop of water in them is a blessing. here as many as possible of these drops of being captured in nets. monitoring the process is the drop off sour or the back of it, as even when there is no fault the environmental technician has worked to do the 15 collect as when stalled here 2 years ago. it's a fairly simple system which requires a fox location and a bit of wind. when full moisture or rain drops accumulate on the mesh, the water drips down into a tank and then flows directly into storage units at different locations downhill
8:38 am
by a multitude of hoses. it won't go out until they come to that with the collectors that we have here. we could catch the $300000.00 leaders of water per year or is according to the manufacturer. to date we have captured 45000. we are just why didn't they seem, we are of course, the weather and which of the lima there are years when i can catch much more and others when it will be less north through our goal is to reach $250000.00 leaders and per year like to achieve value. yeah. and also we can't rely solely on this traditional model and it will, but we'll also use newer designs that may be able to harvest even more water and more. now they're both in my, your efficient only backup data as, as a team of environmental experts. he works with neat malta for holding for 20000 new trees. only a few minutes drive from the fall, collect us there, restoring an area that was ravaged by flames in 2019 of she got different restoration projects are in full swing across the area,
8:39 am
including on this hill side with 35 picks us up being revived, to detect these education, rising global temperatures makes pains kind of re islands, increasing the vulnerable to drought and fires. still fragile new tracy links up edit in a by the degradable cook food. it ensures that the water that was harvested from the collect as will evaporate too quickly. and 1st the trees survival right natalia nowadays will abby that leads the team here to this project is more than just a job. sleep like everyone else. i'm going to save. you yeah, i live close by 11 and then i saw the size cloud of smoke from the wildfire and i live and kept my suitcases in the call waiting to be evacuated instead of f y. and then at the, in the end, it wasn't necessary for them, nothing about them, but at least now i have the opportunity to restore the affected area to the island
8:40 am
as part of me. but this place in particular, because i'm in the the team of already planned to top of the trees for the life. and you have less project which has received millions of euros and financing from the local government. and you the deposit itself, a footboard, a currently emptied manually, but researches that trialing a storage system that releases the water or to know mostly into areas where it is needed. they have exist that the system has already improved soil moisture in areas where they plotted new trees. it's all things to fog created by the coast of the climate and clouds of sending to the cooler mountain region. for pharma, sacramento kind of go into the fox catches, could be a game changer. his land is in walking distance of the collective. he loves up to 10 heck to as of, to apple and up trees. and the 2019 files that i'm kind of audio fast growing for
8:41 am
and stuff now taking over what was once in or check it to simplify it, but everything to the ground. nothing was left and the child just oil for this year though he wants it again. apple trees. and during the hot, dry months his neighbors from life may have less supplied hotels. in the past, hadn't been kind enough, was dependent on rain falls around you every year the someone's getting longer and it rains that you live in, it rings less than winter to and it's more difficult to maintain everything. you put them on the face because without water, nothing what it is. you know, that's why the fog water is genius. it's the solution. learn, you know, a lot of need because here we don't have any way of watering it less of a simple cause. no education, so the under a no. well, you know, the lady, there's no more testing right now. there's only rainwater. she on the phone couches look like to today and you're in preparation for the hot summer as he wants to
8:42 am
install his own. fuck alexis, 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 deceptive vacation as a lot of goal blast. so see, look up the in the long run we will remove the collectors because the refers to the area will at some point of the take on the work of harvesting humidity for the governments. you in the ro buick, that's how forest word blue shield google, blue book. they capture the humidity and the store in the soil. now they will see that in this way. i don't know. full so leave, accommodate us and the team every tree met us. canada is counting on it's for collectors to help heal the wounds of the devastating wildfire and safeguard the island against future disaster. while the fact is
8:43 am
amazing, and the great example of producing sizable results with minimal efforts on this report takes us to the largest body of water in africa. lake victoria, which is shed by tons mania uganda. and can you stretch in nearly 340 kilometers from north to south? the lake is essential to the lives of millions of people. that's to crease and a lot of them of fishermen bought. unfortunately, most votes are people with diesel motors which pollute the cold. they go electric. we took a ride on the a bolt on neck. victoria, in kenya as dusk falls, jared or to, you know, hits out onto like victoria. since he started using an electric motor, he and his team no longer have to breathe and mix those fields. and it's not as noisy i. c o 2 is one of the few fishermen here who's still us with using an
8:44 am
electric motion last year. it's much easier before he was constantly having to change gas or so you have to be careful with that or somebody. so we need to take it might or me good to go to the monday like this. pass free for the yeah. so moving you to come cumbersome. these one just do just automatic system. he only has the electric most and factories on low, from a company called a sofa. every morning he pretends to use bachelor, and in the evening he receives the freshly charged set, a silver rings of the email it has for the equivalent of around 38 here as a month. the batteries cost 7 years 50 a day. the debt starts have a silvo, had to do
8:45 am
a lot of math to develop this business model. they saw the batteries and motors from germany. here in kenya, they have technicians who take care of the repairs and maintenance. they also offer 24 hour service. if there are problems on level to refresh, i'm going to have to call the high school number that we can do sort of on encore. but sometimes when the technical issues are not in a position to be solved during that time, they have to, we have to send out is too much to go for them back for maybe 10, something component of aging for the batch. these are equipped with gps track is so that the birds can be precisely located in case of emergency or a little cutting you have a new customer receives a free training session. so it depends on the coffee table in just a few days. the most important things that be the most siri, then practice unable to get used to the email i sent you in. welcome,
8:46 am
joshua luca has been involved since this task and done this done with the official . i'm in need of the company with the literally wheeler. we need to do some more difficult. so not only did you said not enough for me to cover as like a fish i'm and most of them try to go find you started. a silver is working to improve the situation. it's made contact with companies in kenya, and you can do that, we service use batteries. these could be rented out to the fisherman at a cheaper rate in the 2nd place, but please wouldn't make the model. so the door, so we much, we make the cut into operations of our customers, but if the customer wants to go far, we give them more bought. please let me check these recharged fee, but the like you want to go for we give you 4 months as you want to go. sure. the distance we give you one or 2, but 3 and you pay for what you are used. around 25000
8:47 am
size, a house on lake victoria every day. many of them belong to canyon fisherman to use combustion engines, which polluted lake and home the fish population. jared or to, you know, has already persuaded some other fishermen to switch to electric mentions. but he and a silver, a still among the pioneers of email that i see and it will take many more like them to see a benefit to like tori and expense. i wouldn't mind taking the screen on the dock volt sunday, better equipment on the goals, and also the only challenge facing spaces today, patient stults, also declining all over the globe box, researches in israel has come up with a surprising solution that could make a huge difference here is these weeks doing good, but on
8:48 am
the display rocks also on the selection plentiful, but the abundance is deceiving. the number of fish in our oceans has drastically decline. the human food and agriculture organization says one 3rd of all species over fished on 60 percent. are exploited to the maximum. but how about manufacturing fish instead? to protect marine life? that is really food takes the top is showing the way using a mass growing from sol coaches to 3 d print fish fillets. the flexion of, of the face is, is something that is unique for fish. when you costs a whole cup of meat, you can see the mazda 5 it's, it's very high, dense of 5. in the fish, the density is much lower. the flakiness is something that is much more easier to mimic and with the present protects the printing capabilities we noticed 3,
8:49 am
the print, exactly the same fixture and flakiness of a real fish. the 3 d printed fillets have made a splash in the company's test kitchen. select 2 guests, i still have the unique face dish lays held with it. i can feel the same, almost the same experiment, experience of the fish structured in my mouth. and i'm also really amazed by the juiciness and also the kind of a battery of fuel in my mouth. at the moment, the printer can only produce 2 types of face, but in a year's time, the manufacturer and a partner from single one to bring printed fish products to the asian market with a launch it variety. financially for cooper and for you, we have 3 other species in our pipeline that are also endangered sort of species
8:50 am
that will be coming out with publicly in the next few more us. and the goal is to build a repository so that the same hardware can manufacture products from any of the cell lines, printing fish, instead of touching them. that could take some of the pressure of our oceans on devin habitants and allow fish ducks to recover on our oceans to be restored to the full mcclory. and how about you? if you're also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit our website, or send us a tweet. past a, doing your page. we share your story you know, last revolt. so today we'll take a look. uh, it's an ation solution to a temporary problem. merkel has lost almost 3 quarters of the tom cruise in the
8:51 am
last 10 years. not is but news, but honest, we know what to ease life. the re discovery of an assess for what the money spent is giving hope to the people that every saturday people flock to go mean most market to buy fruit vegetables such as okra, olives, and a wide variety of dates. they are the main crop grown in the oasis around cool nima, a bobo town in south eastern morocco. the livelihoods of people in this arid region on the edge of the sahara desert rely on oases. these are under threats that would find easy, an agricultural engineer who specializes in these green eco systems laments their environmental degradation. this was the solve this equation via waste. these are fragile ecosystems is because they're located in the sahara desert. oh see,
8:52 am
and there's no precipitation here. agricultural production is directly effected the on the we so after 2 or 3 years of drought, we already feel the problem is that because or salt copeland, you know, we ceased like these people live from agriculture in raising live stock. but morocco was suffering from to certification fires and the worst drought in decades . rising temperatures and erratic rainfall have lower river levels, increased evaporation, and costs, storage dams to so it's out. this is led to a 20 percent reduction in overall water resources in the last 30 years. to overcome water scarcity, farmers are restoring ancient irrigation systems known in morocco as script that us there. underground canals make it possible to collect ground water and at least the force of gravity to deliberate, to find fields. some i thought you said through where the located in f a and the province of at a g d a i pulled on that, but she the, this is
8:53 am
a tata that has more than 600 years old and it's still operational. so it to do better, tata is important because it's the system that brings water from the mountains to the oasis. and thanks to the reins that come 2 or 3 times a year and managed to infiltrate with the soil, got us what? 3 d. uh the uh, well, well, that time retains the water for a long period of time on the god. what's the city from the law? there is no evaporation, but they've up what i see in the water that is collected at the level of effect. gotta cause channel directly to the field out in the next 2 months. so what i said, i was just confused cut that us range from 2 to 15 kilometers in length. their tunnels are gently sloped and descent as far as 10 meters below ground access drafts follow the shut that as route from the water source to the reception basin. located every 12 to 15 meters. the shaft allowance
8:54 am
of the clearing of blockages caused by settlement on the mall checkup that i need to contact uh it's cleaned every year by the farmers themselves as we can see here on the phone. if you and i got all the way to that is pretty good. i sang to their spirit and ingenuity. do they have long been able to maintain and safeguard the system? be so got to be so that it ensures the life of the oasis legs. this was this the fact that as our read by and central tradition and the customary water rights are inherited, the labor force provided by each user during construction determines how much water each can later consume every tunnel. also as a guardian trunk with a showing it functions well the, the thought on the is a very important to us the things to us. and we have water to drink, irrigate the crops, give to our live stock, and use for our domestic and the like lawn drove and washing names yet who visit
8:55 am
your occasion system is vital without it. and we can't live here and there's simply no light on making this league. there is 5 to fit their dogs helped to keep always seems like this alive. while more effort is needed to restore these old irrigation systems and increase ground water levels. this sanction technology provides moroccans with a novel way to adapt to climate change. what's the can be found everywhere on us? less than 2.5 percent is available for human and annual consumption. lease is of good reasons for 16. better in the future. we hope you've gained something from watching today's special edition on more to and i look forward to seeing you again next week. goodbye from you again. bye sandra. and it's fairly well from me to,
