the river endangering delays main source of drinking water. is there a sustainable alternative for this precious resource? on dw, if you ever have to cover up a murder, the best way for us to make an exit raring to the like best. literature list must reads the every where you go in and the i you will find a construction site like this on mountains of sense. hello and welcome. i'm saw that got the body annual watching equal india. and today i have

a question for you. how much sand doesn't magic while? well, the answer is one k g pop us and body at least enough in india. and we are single construction booming and dan would extracting sign from andrea 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 cause rocks to break off the cliff face. the rock has been swept away by mountain rivers, the water and the friction with other stones on its way to the sea turns it were several 1000 years in defiance on 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 the wrong. ready desert sand is unsuitable for construction. the surface, the beach green is too fine and smooth. meaning that the green stone bind 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 is that their next son, the castle is pretty. that's the last auto boss 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 go think of the beach and the waves come knocking at your door. while this is the yellow team, cadillac, or not?

you 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 date is quiet and pristine and it's a bad drug. he built a dream house. yeah. my dad didn't move on to the i got married 26 years ago, and we built this house after 40 or somebody might have been one, does a handful earning just these 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 wants to get my doctor mad at in this house. i don't want this i know this dream came crashing down last you until the gt. life has become somewhat of a nightmare. but the body beach has become the latest sunshine in the bathroom between c. m. land the sea. whip duck by

feel small. soon when started to enjoy the beach, then if not, come dodge his door versus solar water and we wouldn't get the 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 in claim the public road chunks of the road that had been reinforced with bags to projects from the sea were washed away all along. the banks, like the skeletal remains of homes, that once of buttons, the beach but the body is just one of several places along india as close to se erosion is intensified. and it's happening fast here. in just 5 years, the sea has stripped away nearly 100 meters of land or the length of a football season. to understand why this was happening,

we must go back to the u as in the boston pendulum. it does not to a place where it all started. load report went to rivers meet the see the 2 of us being signed and settlement the c bushes and back, and everything clogged up by the mazda of the board. the area becomes dangerous for around 2000 boats. the boss to every day may have both kept saying, well, the common phenomenon, the 34 boards on fuels. if i use today because of less than that. so to work on this problem of the blank or does i move in 9, the 9 these these break? what does what a break true for the fishing community here? yeah. essentially just by as of rocks and bags that act like gates that block signed from the most of the port. the ensure the channel stays deep and almost free of sand. fisheries boomed for the geography of the course,

changed that sort of thing. i mean on the roof, main leaves of it to lead to long shortcuts and the long short colors mean. so the water last mole 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 sign from the beach is moved from north to south. so that it will, he will have an awful cut off on the shoreline which act as badly as for the moment or 30 minutes before it is the accumulation of 39 doors, lots of data called cups and arrows and words. the so what else did i go trust? in the case of among the little boards, 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 was creating new white beaches. in the benefit of fishermen at the port and those living north of the rank water. but it was a being for the south. houses is roads and farm lands were washed away,

assigned and land began receding. awesome trying multiple solutions, but failed. in 2018. the government and buttoned them issues. $100000000.00 project to protect the beach is south of the break. what the cost was strengthened would see was this project with the show to some extent artificial leave. so constructing deep in the sea to break up waves and reduces 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 really it's going to end up redirecting the waves to other 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 on the activities do that will increase in russian. more damage being constructed under most introduce the flow of send them into the sea. 34 percent of india as 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 for me to 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 off. save us what father being lot of basic. meanwhile,

lake and i look around growing casualty now on below the best gotta fit a so that then i do think they have an idea of and then a 0 perfect. that makes sense. and the, the main, nobody is there could be put that base this element. and the very top out of them is that goes up to a certain extent. so we may say a roof of a green law instead of the one. i bought the body, it's an anxious wait until the next months, and it's going to get worse. more houses when go. more themes will be to date, every one 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 an entire equal system around it is also being killed. and the people who live are on site it of the in this of, of, of north india as why the active a solid onto han was murdered in broad daylight in the year 2013 a hearty, fine day. his son would never forget. semester gave him 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. bollet, i'm to hahn 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 han 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 and mining contractors up for school. because if it is ramping, i had such a large scale the name, but it's not to say you're gonna be up to be successful. the top authorities are involved in management, the orders that they operate when, when the guy they sell and you decide to go to getting a lot of money, what the big knick organization has only increased demand for that incentive used in all kinds of construction projects. some $50000000.00 tons of signed is extracted from leaks through 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. a sam, somebody will bed is especially valuable in construction, says doctor,

for you as could side assign, just add the human eye. biodiversity box this send literacy, it is uh, me more english literacy does that send that very light to maybe like the venue see signed of to see if they have they have capacity to absorb more here with that. so therefore, the very mix with it's been it has scholarship property. so these are called the differences in size and shape events. um, but even send out more angular and therefore being verified. even when license is out all into mine signed the law does not allow mining with hey, 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 the sticky place at the bed, vision of the quote in the, in the, at the moment. if you count on, you can see a few 7 to 8 x covered the machines that daunted, work, the trucks that you see all day, the part of the bank of the it has already enrolled. it was it, you know, one of the canada had updates a natural bank, so it had been indented to the natural flow, but it, but it has to change these areas. when you because of mining, what was the media, you've got on the way id, but it is much more than just the body of water that flows through a plane. it creates flat planes, wetlands, grass lines, and dry page and forest, which together created heavy, they both zones for humans and animals alike. the presence of signed 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 the things it becomes kind of pull

over the period of time and send please very important role because it is not only purifying water, but it is home for many invert companies. many, many invertebrates and these inventories, of course you and 40, but they are missing. and this thing, the listing size, many farmers like that i'm beat your hon who practice subsistence farming on land near the i'm gonna have also being feeling the impact of signed 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 of us earlier i've years um i have also goes, i'm a z or some sort of a 2 but most of the day because of this does don't room and my glove a table. fruit on just have that the sooner lou clem on 2nd. there are only $22.00 foods on the got it, but they move. the dire situation drove them be too big, matters to court, even as mining continues not far from his farm in the last 4 decades. this area on

the i'm and i basing has already seen ground water levels dropped by it on 50 percent of incentives like no, i don't have exploded in the last few decades. and in the process, environmental concentrations have taken a backseat, louise nomics factors. we need to come up with some solution, read, ecology and economy, maddie, and that is that, that is possible. as i told you, that the brings a lot of sense. but we need to a study that the material i need to allow you to do and not fill out what are the season to read when you can allow and what the decision venue do not allow. and so that the collision is required. and probably you may get the answer for human being and really get the answer for eva. and just associated by the divers. different course across india have paused orders over the us tutoring in san minding activities, the government to.
