10:30 am
a tech told me about sugars paralyze between your societies, computers and governments that go crazy for your data. explain how these technologies work. so that's how they can also to watch it now the and there is no denying dates offline. it's an irish and off the top of other words, people are facing extreme weather conditions. how can we better protect ourselves
10:31 am
in the future? that's what we'll be exploring in this specialization of echo oper cost um crystal . i'm calling to you from a very, with a cry in gun. and i am sandra 3. nobody. all right, 2 in comp. hello. 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 the patient and what the results in so that we find out how to make the most of the drought loving comfortable. and we see how you, of the guess this sunday nation found things to point the song of buffalo now
10:32 am
a 1st rate, bold 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 venture 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 audi gets hundreds of can lead 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 new bmw sunstone. uncle 5, it was discovered during the i'd really in the 1950s you'll just of the omar has been studying the uncle for for 20 years. in some places. it's what to live close
10:33 am
to the sauces, home or up and up, the sourcing, the of the region during the test reading 2004 and woke i, somebody i have in the northern location, the depth to 60 meters or less. can you imagine parity one irrigation system that can irritate 50 heck, because the that's unique and it indicates the powerful flow, the reservoir and the order my, the for them has done a goofy look hole really just such as of how sure have benefited most super salt as discovery 20 years ago, they have hot regular access to water from of like up to have fees side of mid the most of it. he owns fuels 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 light is on the how the culture of the world to should be hosted properly. you as one is more than what
10:34 am
you find out to. i mean, if you, you guys could funds i 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. so we're going to run the are the fewest and i'll do for fee. so you can either get his fuels regularly thanks to the wells he has built over the years. its source cost him the equivalent of 450 years. but after that, the village as on the farm as get the water for free. the new be in sunstone, upper flat is the was largest forcing what every software means. but what accumulates and here hundreds of thousands of years ago and became chopped underground by the uncle for us. 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 a you went for just
10:35 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 meanest feel free to get on. what are resources so far they have built that to you. it's small was for the public, and 6 deep was for research purposes. i come as a captain and i'm going to dress up. oh, i will see the possibility of weed production in the nose and then rely on the state of the house with whom i loved god. we'd actually menu and then we found out that we can grow more than 210000 take to is always in some areas we're using the water of the aquifer. i mean that without causing a 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 file has not been measurably depleted. nevertheless, the regions population is growing in size and the numbers of farmers and head as to
10:36 am
geologist, abdullah on their regularly visit the villages in the northern states to money tell what to use to live through the electronic devices and remember it out over the entire nose and state of that are intended to monitor the changes occurring in the water level. you will see increasing decided succession link to climate change means what is more important than ever in this region. if the forcing water from the huge buckle slot is used wisely, it could help humans and animals survive here. some places have been dry full as long as we can remember, but they, on other places a getting dry of binds the, the was climate is changing rapidly because of human activity sanches binding on on of the full. so fluids. and for many people, it is hard to adopt has to do with 5 failed rainy seasons.
10:37 am
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, the 50 of 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 have nothing. i will say how kind of the school would allow that you have come. extreme weather events like this, drought has always existed, but they haven't always happened this frequently or this 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 in east africa as being med exceptionally by time of change. so
10:38 am
basically what we're saying is with the climate change, that's kind that the magnitude of a job will go double cod. 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 atmosphere 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 1.5 degrees celsius compared to pre industrial levels. that's the limit. many countries have pledged notice are passed because it creates the optimal conditions for disaster is linked routes. is warmer temperatures typically mean greater kind of or basically a thursday or atmosphere. more about ration from the surface and the dryer
10:39 am
conditions and soils in reservoirs. climate change can also affect rainfall. some regions may see less precipitation. others may get more, but instead of having it fall even lead throughout the year, these regions may experience short and frequent burst 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 and severity. when i draw the strike a can last weeks, months or even years. and that can become expensive quickly. droughts of cost the global economy, tens of billions of us dollars over the past decades. one water intensive factor that is especially affected as agriculture. when crops fail, the effects can range from rising food prices to mass of silence. droughts can also affect the water supplies, urban populations for their plumbing, and electricity. in 2018 reserves and the south african city of cape town were so
10:40 am
low that there were fears the city could run out of water altogether. a so called a 0. these types of conditions can erase people's entire livelihoods. a situation many as 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 that. 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 coming on the planet, we are having 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
10:41 am
one more amazing thing the author provide for us, as long as we use it sensitively. but even areas where the res, very lead to what some life is able to strive, we want to look at one particular plant that could prove surprising be useful to us . no doubt you guessed it. if not this weeks doing debate will give you the onset and a whole lot more that seems like prickly and spreading everywhere. the cactus has few friends and sign a goal. one exception is malik sonya. the young scientist and ecologist count gets enough of the spiky subsidence which he says the fullest potential. when the soul in his village of camella became celebrated, all the prompts died except the comp time. that's when sonya came up with the idea of doing something with them. they're pretty good. thank you. what was it?
10:42 am
i sealed a few samples and containers down the middle. we'll develop that 24 hours. i realized that the cactus was able to produce the gas as it is. so i thought i would try to come up with the production method that would utilize the catalyst for i agree moment for the energy event. environmental purposes is that everyone to me is that and is it the most? yeah. is that i would and sonya grace, different types of space. she's on a small experimental fund of to harvesting that, crushed to make clean energy and a bio gas pump. the solids and liquids respite, you know, say you scroll down it fast, eliza test it to affect him. this. he's trying out a homemade firefight, eliza on his own field. ready it's out, but it contributes to the restoration of plants by capturing organic elements that are converted into mineral elements. but i mean it as carbon you to buy a guess from conk twice a cooking. i don't panic stuff, eliza,
10:43 am
to improve crops. my looks on this concept is tailored to small farmers and remote regions. he wants to pump to heck tests and instead of just the miller, so his cock, this innovation project seeing. and that's 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. hash tag doing your bit. we share your story. it's not just cock, this is the cope well in drawing so many legions like chick fees a will. so drought resistance, but that's not only the attractive quality here in africa. we have a lot of experience we've extended and dry spills. bump in you. it is something new. that is right, sandra finances,
10:44 am
and some firing from near the german cup 2 little bro lane had no stop to the experimental cultivation of what to 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 produces the need for such a long as the farmers hope. the simple tweak will allow them to grow more of the sustainable protein which plans from the lake you family. by the 20th must be product such as a broad beans or peas, which are native here. the bacteria are already present in the swell. but with soybeans and chick peas. yeah, the bacterial strain doesn't exist here yet. between them is like humans which also
10:45 am
include lentils, paints alfalfa and clover stand out in the plans well for being able to produce their own fertilizer. with the aid of those special bacteria. that's why in europe, crops like peas and beans were long a favorite with fall on this as they actively improve sort of 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 evolves in middle eastern climates and can get by with little rainfall. these are the ones the off time we try to plant them around 2 and a half centimeters, deep in 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
10:46 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 or peaceable in order to food absa on those. and that's how we arrived at the chick p 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 found how to fund a month. it says from perfect, perfect, wonderful. the locally slowest restaurant hopes to feature chick peas on these menu
10:47 am
more often in the future. a and a few kilometers away. the next harvest is already sprouting. one site, what is the name below the surface? we can already see the 1st roots mode selecting is a crop scientist at the live mit center for agricultural landscape research. his team is acutely interested in the chick piece. here. is open legal, 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 and in fact in fact chick peas and other legumes can contribute so much nitrogen to the soil, thanks to the bacteria on that root nodules that even the next plants growing on the field will benefit. as a result,
10:48 am
future crops could need little to no artificial fertilizer like humans around the credit on about 2 percent of gym and crop land. in recent decades, cold grain and rape seat of the come so widespread, the many like items are insulted to a puzzle. so it means that state of mind is the one that's bas, trusting, and us as i'd love to see like you're miscalculated on the say, i've got 10 percent of the airable land here. i'm gonna have to deal with that. but of course, only if it's economically viable for the farmers upsets and there's a market for it. and one in rwanda for example, beans are growing on a large scale because they're a staple food and feature in almost every dish. or 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 he's still
10:49 am
trying to sell the organic chick pays from his 1st 3 years of cultivation when the 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. it didn't get me. the price just isn't what we need to break even with it. but it's pioneering work you and yeah, but we know that just in the offices, the secular creating a sustainable value chain is something elizabeth failing also knows a lot about her idea or is that in future protein which crops will not only be grown here, but also clean, packaged and sold is a cell phone to enable. it makes total sense from the nutritional standpoint of your so to cut down on meat and increase plump production stagen listen with us is does have to be smooth. that's why when the game, as a regional, sustainable source of protein comes in 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 should piece. is amelia big? now,
10:50 am
a few years ago she found in her own chick piece 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 the climate change of the lease, my feeling helpless member comfortable. what do you as a here is how awful everything's going to be force brought us on the floor and you rarely get any specific ideas. the solution. when it help, yes, i found something with my business where i feel confident that i'm on the right path. savannah and i'm proposing a group of friends that has the potential to counteract climate change. the next spot you of crunchy climate friendly chick peas is sent on its way to a big gym and supermarket chain and a media vague and is 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 transformed that fields while the time is right. me. those next loop
10:51 am
taste the i'd like to try them myself. and we just heard, like, you don't need lots of water for they do need some. oh, we do have plenty. just think of our oceans. 97 percent of both. the water is the last please. well, the salt contents mix the on usable for humans, animals, and most plants, and it's not true states, but there is a solution. europe largest asylum nation plants is in spain, and due to drought, best yeah. it's running around the block, extreme heat and droughts. do you notice the people in cities that are expecting major population centers like to come to london aging, tokyo cape town and boss, and i'm to cities located by the c. one solution looks especially promising selling
10:52 am
nation the selling ation. these combination of catalonia, in ne, spain is one area in europe where climate change is getting hard. the region isn't the correct because the 3 a drought reservoir minus that supply the city of bonds, a low to are only one quote, a full. this all which ease of rationing the walls of the industry and i will go to the producer for local residents and to raise i know i'm it wasn't shot because like it's during the city and they've anybody 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 c one more to the plant email. but that's the over the got is the knowledge just in your outcome of the maximum capacity in a 180000 cubic meters of water per day, which we can sustain for as long as necessary. and that would be an incentive. so
10:53 am
this, the sea water is each it up salt has a very high boiling point. well, water already of operate at a 100 degrees celsius on the water vapor is full through a series of membranes into high pressure in order to filter out the salt things to it, sufficient renewable energy technology. you'll to guys can seems 25 percent less power than other plans to get signs but even then the sun, 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 emboss alone it's simply gets pumped back out to sea, not far off the coast. so now we're seeing more plants say, well why? there are other solutions. i'm so so in my opinion, you should use discrimination only for the very,
10:54 am
very crush of me. it's like bringing both up to the population and the, and the medium of what the political issue because there are other sources of law. what's there that you can use, other associates or other methods, you know, type of 2017 years of drought, a trunk water levels in cape towns west of was to below 10 percent. the region was set to run out of water in 5 months. due to the authorities come to this building does not a nation pounds, 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 are well filled and disaster has been evicted to now. me want in
10:55 am
barcelona to choose and likewise changing. we cannot say, okay, we're going to be in this range from 2 feet, a, d a d looked at them. suppose they 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 see 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 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
10:56 am
now, i am sandra. so you know video from comp hello frontier. in uganda, it's the,
10:57 am
it's cold read for here, rooms for every year terrible fires, rage across the continents. protecting these eco systems from the flames is more important than ever. we need people from spain and germany who wants to make
10:58 am
a difference. they share their ideas. and their great passion for the, for the close of the in 15 minutes on d. w boxes. mysterious treasure is being stored at the berlin museum of natural history. securely packaged dinosaurs, boxes that were more than 100 years ago, east africa. now an interdisciplinary method is being applied to study them tomorrow. the dw, the, you'll see about the video that goes to the other data media. amiga la give a lot of the time, but again, i will stop into that and i'll give you a go on and you, are you able to order that up?
10:59 am
joe made any of the water power into the more people than ever on the move world wide in search of it. this are nice to jump be able to use a minute. they can t mess with the guns already. already a few megs of a piece and that engine room does all of the piece and minutes useful or is that i'm was moved to it gets expose, go to lunch. when you find out about all the story info, migraines, reliable news to migrate wherever they may be. the one of those main kinds, oldest ambitions could be within reach. what is it really is possible to reverse the researchers and scientists all over the world for in a race against time? they are peers and rivals with one daring goals to help smart nature
11:00 am
the a more like watch now on youtube dw documentary, the, this is the, the news coming to live from burly israel's military presses, along with a major rate in the occupied westbank. the w, as in janine following, the ongoing operation is really forces are calling to move a counter terrorism crackdown palestinian officials say is war against the people of judy also coming up.
