8:31 am
protect ourselves in the future? that's what we'll be exploring in this specialization of echo offer cost um crystal, i'm calling to you from a very which across in gunner and i am sandra 3. nobody. all right, to income plus you going to thank you for joining us once again. whether you live in africa or in you, in a city or a funding community. when the rains don't come, it brings cool thing is on the shortage of drinking water bottle. they are some solutions which is what we've got for you in the show today. we meet the people talking to ation and want to resolve in so that we find out how to make the most on the drought loving comfortable. and we see how you, of the biggest selling nation found things to point the song of barcelona,
8:32 am
a 1st rate sold texas to an a read crisis redid region. so done. what is the ongoing conflict is wearing the people down, especially in the capital cost to it is the waves of drought that are really taking the tools on the population equal africa then should deep into the northern so done to learn more about a centuries old, underground tricia troll the people that are determined to piss off of the for the not to go in. so done the more how did you get hundreds of keeps telling me to as of the day is that it is hard to believe. but beneath the sun is a huge reese of a 4th to stretching from egypt for us. have done to chat and libya called the newbie on the sandstone. uncle far, you will have discovered during the i'd really in the 1950s. you'll just of delta omar has been starting the uncle for, for 20 years. in some places. it's want to live close to the surface home or up and
8:33 am
up. this whole seemed a region during the test really in 2004 and low guy smiley. i'm have in the northern location, the depth of the 60 meters or less. can you imagine one irrigation system that can irritate 50 heck, because the that's unique and it indicates the powerful flow the reservoir and in order model for them has done a goofy look hole really just such as a refresher, have benefited most super salt as discovery 20 years ago, they have hot, irregular access to water. farmers like up to have fees a sight of mid to most of it. he owns, feels covering several hundreds hector's and can draw a wide range of fruits and vegetables from fava beans to soak them. and i'll follow the dcf is mainly grown wheat. this is the how the culture the want to should be nice to properly, you know. so as long as it's more of them, if you find that, i mean, if you,
8:34 am
you asked advance method. so you have new technology used by more to can be say you would be a little bit of trouble. tiffany: but if you use the traditional method, if you it can see much more about it. sure. what have been from you and how you have different values and i'll do for fees, so you can either get these fields regularly thanks to the well as he has built over the years. it's sauce cost him the equivalent of 450 years. but after that, the village of the farmers get the water for free. the new bin sunstone upper flat is the was largest forcing what every software means that what accumulates and here hundreds of thousands of years ago and became chopped underground by the uncle funds. what the results are finite was some areas have a very low retail rate. others have not told some research as think they uncle fuck could last another 200 years. but that is near the siding nor easy to a long time. translational agreements on are you in project
8:35 am
a to ensure what days use fairly and sustainably so dense government to create a new law on what to use in 2022 of a seen have by the minutes, feel free to get on what are resources so far they have built that to you at small was for the public, and 6 deep was for research purposes as i come as a captain and i'm going to dress up. oh wow, what was it then you don't need the possibility of weed production in the nose and then rely on the state of the house the theme. i don't think we'd actually manual. and we found out that we can grow more than $210000.00 take to is always in some areas we're using the water of the aquifer. i mean that without causing the drop in water levels to impact time. yeah. because i have to buy out that that's what i thought of to know the huge amounts of what just told you that uncle fuck has not been measurably depleted. nevertheless, the regions population is growing in size, and the numbers of farmers and head as to geologist,
8:36 am
abdullah on their regularly visit the villages, even northern states to money tell what to use through the electronic devices. i remember it out over the entire nose in state of that are intended to monitor the changes occurring in the water level. and you will see increasing the certification link to climate change means what is more important than ever in this region. if the forcing water from the huge jungle flat is used wisely, it could help humans. and i mean most of 5 here. some places have been dry full as long as we can remember. but they on other places getting dry of buying the. the was climate is changing rapidly because of human activity, sanches binding oil on the full so few hours. and for many people it is hard
8:37 am
to adopt has to do with 5 failed rainy seasons. nearly 2 years of decimated livestock failed crops and famine. a seemingly endless drought has good parts of east africa, pushing tens of millions of people into a humanitarian crisis. the shepherd from the somali region of 50, you pleaded for help earlier this year was a hold of the people's lives are in danger. the majority of people have left the village because of starvation and those that remain here. i have nothing at all. so how can i help the school? a lot of yeah, do you have co ha, xtreme, weather events like the stroud have always existed, but they haven't always happened this frequently or the intensely scientists from different countries collaborated on an attribution study. the found human induced climate change is a pleasure in the horn of africa. it made conditions, especially hot and especially dry. we found though, that's the joke. east africa hasn't been met exceptionally by time and change. so
8:38 am
basically what we're saying is with the climate change, that's kind that the mug me through the will cause many parts of the world are already at risk of drought. but the kind of crisis is increasing this risk in some regions, such as england, where a river and one of its white us regents has run dry and some parts or taiwan, where bamboo crops are dwindling. or the western us, which has battled a mega drought for 20 years. but how exactly does this happen? when we burn fossil fuels? we released greenhouse gases, but heat or atlas here that wreaks havoc when it comes to our weather patterns and makes higher temperatures. more likely all over the world. this month was the 1st time june temperatures went up more than $1.00 degrees celsius compared to pre industrial levels. that's a limit. many countries have pledged not just our past because it creates the optimal conditions for disasters like droughts is warmer, temperatures typically mean greater kind of are basically a thursday or atmosphere,
8:39 am
more evaporation from the surface and the dryer conditions and soils and reservoirs . climate change can also affect rainfall, some regions may see less precipitation. others may get more, but instead of having it fall evenly throughout the year, these regents may experience short and frequent birth of heavy rain. that's what this means is that you basically get these kind of dryer periods between rape. all events of allows for a longer period for the soils to drive down. and that can also increase a drought risk in severity. when i draw the strike, it can last weeks, months or even years, and that can become expensive. quickly. droughts have cost the global economy, tens of billions of us dollars over the past decades. one water intensive sector that is especially affected as agriculture. when crops fail, the effects can range from rising food prices to math assignments. drugs can also affect the water supply for urban populations for their plumbing and electricity.
8:40 am
in 2018 reserves and the south african city of cape town were so low that there were fears the city could run out of water altogether, a so called a 0. these types of conditions can raise people's entire livelihoods. a situation many if you can, shepherds are currently struggling with how much i do. i don't know how to do anything other than being a nomadic shepherd. i'm not educated and i don't know how to find out. this is the only way i know how to survive. in somali, the shepherd's native language, the drought is called fema. that means equal because drought said everyone equally . but what climate experts stress is that some communities have fewer resources to adopt that if we continue business as usual, if we don't realize that's actually a humming old planets, we have hacked in the most vulnerable people and it's up to top looters to make sure the crisis let these don't become even more likely war to just
8:41 am
one more amazing thing to also provide for us as long as we use it sensitively. but even areas where the res, very lead to water, some life is able to strive. we want to look on one particular plants that could prove surprisingly useful to us. no doubt, you've guessed it. if not, this week's doing debates will give you the onset and a whole lot more that seems like prickly and spreading everywhere. the cactus has few friends in senegal . one exception is malik sonya, the young scientist and ecologists comp that's enough of the spiky supplements, which he says are full of potential. when the soul in his village of familiar became celebrated, all the pumps died except the comp time. that's when sonya came up with the idea of doing something with them. they picked it up is that, was it?
8:42 am
i see a few samples in containers down the middle will develop that 24 hours. i realized that the cactus was able to produce the mit gas as it is. so i thought i would try to come up with the production method that would utilize the catalyst for economic energy and environmental purposes. is that everyone to me? is that and is it big noise? yeah, is that i have it on bundled sonya grace, different time to speak. she's on a small experimental from of to harvesting that, crushed to make clean energy and it by a gas pump. the solid and liquid processing us. they used to work on it fast. eliza, to test its effectiveness, he's trying out. i made fires by saliva on his own, seals itself, but it contributes to the restoration of the plans by capturing organic elements that are converted into mineral elements of i mean it as carbon new to fire guess from comp time. so cooking, i don't comics stuff, eliza,
8:43 am
to improve crops. malik. so on this concept has tailored to small farmers and roommate regions he wants to pump to heck tests in his village just a minute. so his cock, this innovation project seeing about just the beginning 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. it's. it's not just cock, this is the time cope well in drawing so many legions like chick fees will sold drugs resistance bought. that's not only the attractive quality here in africa. we have a lot of experience. we've extended dry spills. bump in you. it is something new that is right, sandra, finances,
8:44 am
and some firing from near the german cop to la valley have now started the experimental cultivation of watson known as like julian, those plans and the results look promising these farm, the sa, preparing chick p seats for selling the plant is not native to central european soils. they need to advise that will be about to you to help it convert nitrogen from the yeah, which reduces the need for such a long as the farmers hope. the simple tweak will allow them to grow more, the sustainable protein, which comes from the lake u family. by the 20th much because the product such as abroad, beans or peas, which are native here, the bacteria are already present to them as well. but with soybeans and chick peas, the bacterial strain doesn't exist here yet. between them is like humans which also
8:45 am
include lentils, peanuts alpha, alpha, and close to stand out into plans well for being able to produce their own fertilizer. with the 8 of those special bacteria, that's why in europe, crops like peas and beans with long a favorite with fall on this as they actively improve so low quality rather than leaching out nutrients. so these chick peas are grown without onto official fertilizes, which are energy and emissions intensive to produce a plus if all goes well, the fonts can also do without artificial irrigation. the chick, the plant evolved in middle eastern climates and can get by with little rainfalls. these are the ones the off time, so we try to plant them around 2 and a half centimeters, deep and moist, occurs to get the germination process going to. and the advantage of this variety is that it loves drysdale oil. that's fucking leaving chick peas on grow much here
8:46 am
in germany. the thought to change in future as human induced climate change is causing hot and dry of weather. username also. so we're looking for like rooms that we can easily market. i can come and ones that are more heat in drug resistant and broad beans are peaceable in order to food absa on those. and that's how we arrived at the chick pee and comes and it's got a lot of uses and it's nutritious. what and what better way to prove that point them with the trip to the village restaurant for lunch. on the menu today, chick p. curry with local classic asparagus. first, the chef brings out the an appetizer. freshly baked bread with homeless made using chick pays from band hard to fund a month. it says from dice, perfect, wonderful. the locally sourced restaurant hopes to feature chick peas on these menu
8:47 am
more often in the future and a few kilometers away. the next topic is already sprouting. once i noticed below the surface, we can already see the 1st routes a moment, so that cling is a crop scientist at the live minutes center for agriculture landscape research. his team is acutely interested in the chick piece here. legal mean northern lights, so we want to find out if like goodness can help make agriculture more sustainable and adaptable to climate change and whether they can also have a positive influence on climate change so that it's less extreme. so climate protection, in fact marshall in fact, chick peas and other legumes can contribute so much nitrogen to the soil, thanks to the bacteria on the root nodules that even the next plants growing on the field will benefit. as a result,
8:48 am
future crops couldn't eat little to no artificial fertilizer. like humans around the cro, known about 2 percent of gym and crop land. in recent decades, cold grain and rape seat becomes so widespread. the many like items are imported. above all soybeans the state of mind is the one that's distressing to us, as i'd love to see like humans cultivated on the say, 10 percent of the airable land here. i want to help you with that. but of course, only if it's economically viable for the farmers of subsidy, and there's a market for it. and one in rolanda, for example. beans are grown on a large scale because they're a staple food and feature in almost every dish and on for on even with the advice of chrome system, scientists from the agricultural research center. it's proving a challenge for the farm run by band hodge fund them of it's that he's still
8:49 am
trying to sell the organic chick page from his 1st 3 years of cultivation. uh, wanting to have him come from. what i'm doing. that's like it's not me. it's not easy to shift this stuff right now in the price just isn't what we need to break even with is, but it's pioneering work doing. yeah, but we know that just because of the offices, essentially this creating a sustainable value chain is something elizabeth failing also knows a lot about. the idea is that in future protein which crops will not only be grown here, but also cleaned packaged and sold as a cell phone to enable, it makes total sense from the nutritional standpoint. so to cut down on meat and increase plump production stagen, listen, this is doesn't have to smell. that's what i'm going to gain as a regional, sustainable source of protein comes in fella to you. yeah. it's grown where it's needed and will be a great solution. of course i have to go. there's only one person already counting on chick peas. is amelia big? now, a few years ago, she founded her own chick piece,
8:50 am
next company in the eastern german city of live session. she says she's glad to a found a time in front of the business model of the mission the all the scheme of under to climate change often lease my feeling helpless member comfortability with a here is how awful everything's going to be forced. brought us on the floor and you rarely get any specific ideas. the solutions i wanted have. yes, i found something with my business where i feel confident that i'm on the right po, savannah and i am promoting a group of sense that has the potential to counteract climate change and the next spot you of crunchy climate friendly chick peas is sent on its way to a big gym and supermarket chain under media vague. and it's also hoping that dr. mine for over i tease of like you and will catch on in gemini, and the pharmacy will be able to sustain that be trans fullness fields while the time is right. me. those next loop
8:51 am
tasty. i'd like to try them myself. and we just heard, like, you don't need lots of water for the do need some. oh, we do have plenty. just think of our oceans. 97 percent of the water is in all seas. well, the salt content mix its own usable for human animals and most plans, and it's not through the states, but there is a solution. europe lodges, the salvation plan is in spain. and due to the drought best yeah. it's running around the block. extreme heat and droughts do not the people in cities. they're expecting major population centers like to causes london staging. tokyo cape town and boss alona and to cities located by the c. one solution looks especially promising celebration the celebration these combination.
8:52 am
catalonia in ne, spain is one area in europe where climate change is getting hot. the region isn't the correct because the 3 year drought, the reservoirs that supply the city of bonds, alona are only one quote to a full use ortiz, a rationing the was it the industry and i will quote you, but also for local residents and tourist. i know i'm it wasn't shot because like it's during the city and everybody come here to have fun, but there is no ortho. so it's kind of disappointed to find that residents of bonds to load and still have drinking water to a tool is thanks in part to the dissemination of see what, what the plans in the product stay open to god is the knowledge just in your outcome. what's the maximum capacity in a 180000 cubic meters of water per day, which we can sustain for as long as necessary,
8:53 am
and that would be an incentive. so just to see what was the is heated up. salt has a very high boiling point. well, water already of operate at a 100 degrees celsius on the water vapor as fools through a series of membranes into high pressure in order to filter out the salt things to its efficient renewable energy technology. you'll probably guys can seems 25 percent less power than other plants of its signs. but even then decent a nation is still extremely energy intensive and expensive on the left of the water as a lot of salt and pollutants that need disposing of in barcelona. it simply gets pumped back out to sea, not far off the coast. so now we're seeing more plants saying, well, why we didn't all have solutions? i'm so, so in my opinion, you should use this information only for the very,
8:54 am
very crucial means. like bringing both up to the pollution and things and the meaning of what potential because there are other sources of flaw of water you can use other associates. oh, other methods, you know, type of 2017 years of drought, a trunk water levels in cape towns west of wise to below 10 percent. the region was set to run out of water in 5 months. due to the authorities come to this building, dis, autonation puns, but they chose a different solution. residents were told to drastically couch them will to consumption. no one should be showering more than twice a week. from the topic you have to save as if your life depends on the city also invested in better wastewater treatment tons today the dams on well filled and disaster has been evicted to now me want in
8:55 am
barcelona to choose and likewise changing. we cannot say ok, we're going to be disappointing each on 2 feet in the eighty's. i've got that i'm supposed to have 20 medium tories plus whatever that would go to them. the industry just with the sending nation paths that's. that's what that what about the work catalonia is now also looking to reduce its will to usage a recent studies. so the hotels alone can seem 12 percent of the available drinking water bottle evidence to risk. we'll also have to learn to use less. because in the end will to it is not for fun, but for us, the vital of personalization has come to an end. i hope we've given you a few good ideas, both ways to adapt to climate change so long for me, for us to live in that cross. gonna see you next week, sometime, some place until then do stay and thoughts visiting all social media channels. for
8:56 am
now, i am sandra. nobody from comp hello, frontier in uganda. the the
