34 years. i was a metal i didn't know. now i know the never ending story of asbestos starts june 21st on d. w the everywhere you're going in the i you will find a construction site like this on mountains, a center. hello and welcome. i'm sorry to cut the body annual watching equal india, and today i have a question for you. how much sand doesn't magic while? while the answer is one k, g pop us and body at least an open india. and we are single construction booming,

and dan would extracting sign from, audrey was false, so then it can be replenished. but what does that mean for us? let's find out in today's episode of the, even the smallest among those know that you can do wonderful things with sun. but here's what the kids might not know. the sun begins in the mountains, changes in temperature from frosty to warm, eventually caused rocks to break off the cliff face. the rock has been swept away by mountain rivers. walter infection with other stones on its way to the sea, turns it over several 1000 years and to find some sand as important for the building industry can find it in every house. every office block on every street, after air and water, sand is the most needed not to resort on airs with anyone who looks at our vast desert. some thinks there's more than enough to go around with the wrong. ready

desert sand is unsuitable for construction. the surface of beach green is too fine and smooth. meaning that the greens don't bind. ringback instead, sand is becoming an increasingly scapes commodity. son to mafia, have long minded, legally, even from beaches. but the kids aren't aware of this yet. the only worry that's that their next sons the castle is pretty. that's the last. all of us who live in big high rises like these all for dream of living in a lovely house on the beach as close to the sea as possible. but what happens when one day the sea is in golfing? the beach and the waves come knocking at your door while this is the reality and carolines have not got another question is how do we save our beaches and the ending cost line? i'm can they be saved now?

but the body beach in canada. augusta data is quiet and pristine, and it's about drug the bill to a dream house. yeah, my dad in the longer the i got mad at 26 years ago. and we've been to this house after 40 or somebody might have been was as a handbook earning just for b, 500, a. d to build this house. but as he has died now, we used to be so happy in this house. and i can see at the see view, the dog bed, what do you get to location such as this might seem was to get my daughter mad at in this house. this dream came crashing down last you and for the g. life has become somewhat of a nightmare or the body be to become the latest sunshine in the bathroom between c. m. land. the sea width duck by fields small soon when started to enjoy the beach, then if no. com, dodgy res, door verse. so a lot of people don't good see because of that sound loss. still,

the village administration evicted us from here. i had said i would not be because they would, i go in 2020 to see those and claim the public road chunks of the road that had been reinforced with bags to protect from the sea were washed away all along. the banks like the skeletal remains of homes, that one's a bunch of the beach but the body is just one of several places along india as close to se rose and intensify. and it's happening fast here. in just 5 years, the sea has tipped away nearly 100 meters of land or the length of a football field. to understand why this was happening, we must go back to the u as in the boston pendulum. it does not do a place where it all started. load report with 2 revised, meet the see the to reverse bring him signed and settlement the c bushes and back

and everything clogged up by the mileage of the boat. the area becomes dangerous for around 2000 boats. the boss to every day may have a more capsulated thing while the come on phenomena the 3 for boards on fuels. if i do still die because of the less than that. so to will come to this problem, the blank or does are very thin, 9 the 9 these these break water is going to break through for the fishing community here. the essentially just by, as of rocks and bags that act like gates, that block signed from the mouth of the port. the ensure the channel stays deep and almost free of sand. fisheries boomed, but the geography of the course changed that sort of thing. i mean, i mean they've made leaves of it to lead to long short cuts and the long short colors mean. so the water loss move battle are to be sure this is going to

literally just where the waves striking the show creates a current that moves along it. in this region, the current and with its sun from the beach is moved from north to south. so that he will have an awful cut off. so initial light, which act as badly as for the moment else 30 minutes before is the accumulation of $39.00. lots of data, coat, cups, and arrows and words. the so what else did i go costs? in the case of among the board, the big one was like an outcrop. it stopped the flow of sand and just a matter of your sand was accumulating above the brake water, creating new white beaches. in the benefit of fishermen at the port and those living north of the bank watch, i thought it was a vein for the south houses as rules and farm lands were washed away. assigned and land began receding. awesome trying multiple solutions, but failed. in 2018. the government and boxing them issues,

$100000000.00 project to project the beach is south of the break. what the cost will strengthen would see was this project of the show to some extent artificial leave. so construct a deep in the sea to break up waves and reduce its force reaching the show. but dialogue is up solutions like these, where the sea walls are, reeves only created new problems elsewhere. one single construct i say, well in one place the problem going to be shifted to be i just sent a further course, not that so. so the, the, what they do is they actually, i think the problem is so instead of finding the problem, so that is what is happening in the case of construction will save us like break watches, the sea walls and re skin, end up v, directing the waves to us areas, but i'm not protected. and this is what is happening now and but the body uninstall gigi's house. the effort to save the neighboring beach has comma the cost of this.

this, the origin problem is not going to go away. so many more new boats are being planned in india. this means mall break watches and see was even without bullets but other activities do that will increase in russian more damage the in constructions undergoes, introduce the flow of settlement to the sea. 34 percent of india coastline on nearly 2300 kilometers is equal wouldn't. billions of dollars would be needed to protect the shows. more erosion means most fee was and mostly wells means the cycle continues. india con, keep affording, to shift the problem. what do you say is what the technology, what the you know, the, the not the and what kicking this nature. see, i knew that don't golf. i've seen a lot, but father being lot of basic reason why lake and i look around growing casually. now, odd bellow about bus gotta fit a so that then i do think they have in

a different than a they are perfect and extreme. and the, the way nobody is there could be. but that base their settlement and the very top out of them is that goes up to a certain extent. so we may say a roof of a green lawn instead of the one i bought the body, it's an anxious wait until the next months. and they said it's going to get worse. more houses when go more themes will be to date. everyone is scared of residing here. despite a lot of attempts, big and small, the search for an equitable solution must continue on, insatiable need for sand is forcing us to dig deep into the reverse. yamuna is a major source of watch out for the city of delhi, and the river is slowly dying because of sun lightning. and it's not just the river that design and inside of equal system around it is also being killed. and the people who live alone cited of the invisible both north india as noise that

active is followed on to han was murdered in broad daylight in the year 2013 a hearty fine day. his son will never forget semester, even so that the round between 11151133 people drove their bikes down this lane. they were from a village. they stopped the bike here. my father was resting in his room. the short him down. got back on the bike and flooded the bison. mugging valid, i'm to han had been fighting the sand, mining mafia annoyed guy who has been operating unchecked for years. something that hasn't changed much to this. the practice that i've heard the livelihoods and the delicate ecology internet on the i'm one of our guys to hon has continued his father's fight in spite of the up in nature of the bad to pick a local authorities or joy gone. just define or describe the connection between

local authorities, either in mining contractors for school. because if it is ramping, i mean it's such a large scale, gave it to me, but it's gonna say you're gonna be up to be successful. the top authorities are involved in management, the orders that they operate with when he got the sale and you decide to go to getting a job on monday. what's the big nick organization has only increased demand for the inside used in all kinds of construction projects. some $50000000.00 tons of signed is extracted from lakes, save a beds, cost lines, and dental as every year. this massive removal of sand cannot be replenished easily and takes thousands of years to recover. the sam, some of the bed is especially valuable in construction, says dr. for you as could side assigned just add the human eye. biodiversity box. this send me to see it is uh, me more english literacy. uh,

does that send that very light, that very light the venue see signed of to see if they have they have capacity to absorb mode here with it. so therefore the very mix with it's been it has to go to properties. so these are called the differences in size and shape event um, but even the send are more angular and therefore being verified. even when license is that all being to mind signed, the law does not allow mining. when have we machines like excavators, nor does it allow for building impedances in that it was flowed in 2020, a contractor was issued, a license to mine, signed not far from orchestral hans land. who would i be to? you'll be minding a sticky place at the back of the quote in the, in the moment. if you count up, you can see it. the 7 to 8 x covered the machines that arctic look the trucks that

you see on the bottom of the bank of the it has already enrolled it last. it cannot, i had a big so naturally the bank. so it could have been indented to the natural flow of the river has to change these areas of money because of mining. what was that? as i mean? yeah. yeah. but the way i do it is much more than just the body of water that flows through a plane. it creates flat planes, wetlands, grass lines, and dr. page and forest, which together created heavy, they both zones for humans and animals. that like the presence of sand in this type, adrian's own, is essential for life to flourish. to renew the cold sand from some bad, you'll believe it to be, but a bit. and therefore, the less strings and when we've got to things it becomes kind of food load appear to fine. send please very important role because it is not only purifying water, but it is home for many invertebrates, many,

many inverter bids and these inventories. of course you have the 40, but they are missing. and this thing for those things size, many farmers like that, i'm going to draw hon, who practice subsistence farming on lines near the. i'm gonna have also being feeling the impact of sand mining. in spite of being so close to the river, the sword has become incapable of supporting crops like potatoes, gloves, and mangles, which used to grow easily some years earlier. of years. um i have also going some a z or some sort of up to about to most of the day because of this does don't room and my glove a table fruit on just have that be seen or lose them on 2nd. there are only $22.00 foods on the 2 out in the name of the dire situation, drove them be too big, matters to quote you and as mining continues not far from his palm in the last 4 decades, this area around the i'm and i be seen has already seen ground water levels drop by it on 50 percent ovens and does like noise have exploded in the last few decades

and in the process and why mental concentrations have taken a backseat. we can all make factors. we need to come up with some solution, read ecology and economy maddy. and that is that, that is possible. as i told you, that the brings lot of sense. but we need to study that the material i need to allow you to do and not to allow what are the season to read. oh, when you can allow and what of the season when you do not so that it collision is required and probably me get the answer for the human being and really get the answer for eva. and just associated by the divers different course across india have paused orders over the years to dane in san mining activities, the government to have set goals for sustainable sign mining practices. however, on the ground in force meant of these woods remain wanting. as indians, appetite for sign grows for those like our guys who live in the shadow of unchecked

sun mining the air force to stem its damage. continue. but why all the mining all of this sense? that's because the cities are expanding on people need houses to live in. houses need sands to be bent. would it be fed to expect someone to live in a patch rules just because we've used up all the side and what's left is either very expensive or the means it's probably not. then what's the solution? the solution is recycling existing building materials. i'm finding out alternate materials, like, upside consent. let's find out more about this. over the past 70 years, india's financial capital one buy has gone from just under a 1000000 people. over 20000000. the city is always building to accommodate. it's a little growing population, but hemmed in by the seat on 3 sides. the city has only one, we left the girl,

and that's up. so by do some construction sites sometimes find themselves shut down or slow do a trick or it's something site engineer. solution with up real hit must deal with often to come out of this and have one medical, some just the main component. and the concrete we build with a model and it's made of an aggregate cement and some i don't cool typing it up. so i'm just the binding agent that keeps this together from 11 am. how about other model sounds we need isn't available in the region. so it's, we quoted from other states like good jerome, the say the at the despite being by the sea, the city is often short of sand for housing. it's growing population. recent estimates big the demand for staying in urban india at 60000000 done sprinkler primarily in the construction industry. some of the best sand for using construction is found under the rivers. but this mining does long term

damaged legal systems and local livelihoods. often the indian government's attempt at controlling san mining have only said the business underground and mining has continued unbridled environmental engineering and research a d. b. i need your she says some of these materials can be upset. good for a cheap and sustainable replacement to send my ash majestic to be there as the best product in the kind of my fault or any type of bonding, whatever that is affordable. i mean, what, what are the find those which tends to fly up to the, to me top level is collected over that i'm, that's my us can be used for manufacturing of this flash of this upside. can fly ash good sauce to problems for the city at the same time. one by produces millions of tons of flash. since telling about plants account for over 90 percent of mobilized by one needs. the goal is also used us fuel,

in many industries in the region. government regulations have in foss. moya was a fly ash and constructions as a bind practice common across the world. but this has not made a seed has been in and densities hunger for natural send in large construction projects where spent as the primary concern slash aggregates have not yet seen widespread adoption by those who work with the materials every day do more than that. so sand have for doing that. what we call not true sound has qualities the to difficult to find in the alternatives language reading since it's my made the wrong way shortcomings the strengths we get from natural sound isn't possible from them. i made some say a policy, they go home a handmade and he, they go. but the answer to them by sand and fly as problems might be on the horizon, or possibly across the world near the deals. but in the doctor bus khan is overseeing

a possible solution to the tough challenges currently faced by the construction industry. so when i was struggling in india, i came across the news that the construction was hosted. and by and when i've been in details in the subjects, i realize that there is really a problem on the sent. and at that time i had also experience working with the flyers. and that was the idea came up. okay. we have a sense of flyers, which we haven't problems and the concrete and the st on the sharp edge. and that's how that directly from flash, the st. he came to germany from india to pursue cutting edge research in green technologies. and founded a startup with support from europe and union innovation program. after years of research has been made a break to and created the material they call life force. it lends as much

strengths to concrete as natural and they're both set. but it's made almost entirely from flash. so as to do, we can do that in mind. he's a man, physically properties, color properties. and the most important thing to the inside. it'll means that compatibility or flight force and stuff does that if all these properties on for the 5th requirements or for the extent that then we can see that our life force is visible for the production of different building materials. as we do here, there process don't this into this this light boards can be used as a complete replacement for natural sent in everything from likely concrete to mason remote. the anal scaling of the lab process into a full scale production like the light bars eventually becomes slabs of sustainable concrete such as these. and they are constantly improving the efficiency of the

process we want to use and you know, less and less amount of chemical entities. so today the, these 2 at the tuition where we can make 95 percent 97 percent off life force can be made from the base of sense. so that means all most negligible, like using natural resources, use of pulled is expected to see high in the coming decades in india. and so is the demand for bigger and better housing in expanding cities. this upside code division send me will be the we to satisfy india's evergreen appetite for send in construction with bob, a full signed mafia is behind the illegal sign mining brackets standing up to them could also mean that despite this a young man is doing this. i'm with the help of the community. he is also rebuilding plantations and creating manuals as green as spot of the i

can see that trees are growing again here near the lottery will in the door to post . i mean, i do is largely times to freak on and in a few years ago, this line, the battery and after the sign mafia plunder that route. lastly, i thought in 1983 before the screen department started to camp in to see if god the source installed is present at the time domain object absorbed to stop defense dealing activities. next it belongs to an increase the size of the small, dense, wooded areas and green spaces. people had gradually taken over distortion, photos felt degrees and sun stealing activities. begin the as a young man cheek on the left has one region and spend 10 years working in the film business in gen night. when he did go on home, the entire area had changed a nearly all the beds literally tickets that were there when i wasn't in school, had disappeared down and i was deeply saddened to see this. i made up my mind to

keep an blunting things in my hometown to improve it and have my society and neighbors anything. in places where the sand mafia had valleys, the land shriek on slanty trees under the stringent controls of the authorities. and initially mistrustful eyes of his neighbors, you're gonna go in there, i have all of this place, the higher value on purpose. i mean, then on money, gold, what are the riches i know brought by value? preserving nature is investment in boston. get down to the next generation and feeling that is my greatest, the financial kind of kind of a chica and has now planted more than 7000 trees, including many food bedding that i tease as they both these young activists like seek on partisan c o. 2 to 3 days and the color g and eco system that give it to me in the 80 as a long that allows you, well, we have identified 70 different displays these up. but with yet the people who live along very well benefit to mine. and when i have a lot of land here 5 years ago,

the area wasn't anybody see new to all the same perfect do with the is on, and the file out a little slow need to do anything by doing the, by planting lot of trees and projecting b solution for the stadium. so you can test significantly improve this community and the lives of other people. the sri gone still has a way to go to reach his goal. aims to glance a small part is in every village in the area to give something back to nature. we need more such people who are committed to the idea of dissolving our environment. and we also need more ideas to build sustainability because we cannot disclose, stop building more houses, roads and bridges. but we also need our equal systems. in fact, at all costs. uh would you like me to what did you like the most about today's episode and what would you like to see more of you can email us or write to me directly on my twitter. up until then have
