of fust repoed, texas to an a read crisis redid region. so done was the ongoing conflict is where in the people down, especially in the capital cost to it is the waves of drought that are really taking the tools on the population. people, africa venture deep into the northern. so done to learn more about a centuries old, underground, tricia troll the people that are determined to present us of the for the most to go in so done, the more audi gets hundreds of keeps telling me to as of the day that it is not to believe, but beneath the sun is a huge reese of a 4th to stretching from egypt. flows have done to chide and libya called the new beyond the sunstone of fi. 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 to the sauces. home are opened up the source in the
3:33 pm
region during the test really in 2004 and vogue i somebody i have in the northern locations adapt to 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 the 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, almost like up to have fees. a sight of mid to most of it. he owns, feels covering several hundreds hector's and can grow 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 of the will to should be on how to properly you know,
3:34 pm
so as long as it's more than what you find that, i mean, if you, you guys have advanced methods, you have new technology, use football, which it can be say, you would be a little bit of trouble as tiffany, but if you use the traditional method, if you it can see much more about it. sure would have been run the or how you have the 5 of us then uh, i'll do for fees so you can either get his fuels regularly thanks for 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 the reason for the 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 of a very low retail rate. others have not told some research as think the uncle fund could last another 200 years. but that is near the site teen nor easy to
3:35 pm
a long time transitional agreements. and are you in project a to insure what days use fairly and sustainably? so dense government to create a new law on what to use in 2022 of us seen by the minutes, feel free to get in and watch our resources. so far they have built that to you at small was for the public, and 6 deep was for research purposes. and i like them as a company and i'm going to dress up. oh wow. what we'll say. they don't need the possibility of weed production in the nose and then rely on the state of the house of whom i left the gosh, we'd actually menu. and then we found out that we can grow more than $210000.00 take to is always in some areas that we're using the water of the aquifer. mean that without causing a drop in water levels to impact. uh yeah, because i have to buy out that that's what i thought of to know the huge amounts of what has told you that uncle file has not been measurably depleted. nevertheless, the regions population is growing in size,
3:36 pm
and the numbers of farmers and head as to geologist, abdullah on their regularly visit the villages in the northern states to money tell what to use your limit through the electronic devices spread out over the entire nose and state level that are intended to monitor the changes occurring in the winter level. you'll 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 alpha 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 getting dry of binds the the was climate is changing rapidly because of human activity. sanchez, binding on on of the full so few hours. and for many people, it is hard to adopt has to do with 5 failed rainy seasons.
3:37 pm
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 until she monitoring 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, i have nothing at all. so how can i help the school louder? yeah, do you have come? 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 the best adult in east africa, hasn't been met exceptionally by time and change. so basically what we are saying
3:38 pm
is we don't climate change. that's kind that the mug me through the 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 widest regions has run dry and some parts, or taiwan were been blue, cross or 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 our atmosphere. that reeks habit. when it comes to our weather patterns, it 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 to surpassed because it creates the optimal conditions for disasters like droughts is warmer temperatures typically mean greater kind of or basically
3:39 pm
a thursday or atmosphere. more about the ration from the surface and dryer conditions and soils and reservoirs. climate change can also affect rainfall. some regions may see less precipitation. others make up more, but instead of having it fall evenly 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 sales to drive down. and that can also increase a drought risk and severity when i draw that strike can last weeks, months, or even years. and that can become expensive. quickly. droughts have cost the global economy tens of billions of us dollar. it's 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 assignments. droughts can also affect the water supply of urban populations for their plumbing and
3:40 pm
electricity. in 2018 reserves and the south african city of cape town were so low that there were fierce the city could run out of water altogether, a so called b 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 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 you see continue business as usual. if we don't realize that's actually a harming of planets, we have hacked in the most vulnerable people and it's up to top looters to make sure the crisis like these don't become even more likely war to just
3:41 pm
one more amazing thing the auth provide for us as long as we use it sensitively, but even areas where the rece very lead to water, some life is able to thrive. we want to look on one particular plant that could prove surprisingly useful to us. no doubt, you've guessed it. if not, this week's doing debate will give you the onset and a whole lot more that seems really quickly and spreading and free with the cactus has few friends in senegal. the 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 vintage of familiar became celebrated, all the pumps died except the comp time. that's when sonya came up with the idea of
3:42 pm
doing something with them. they pick up is i don't believe i see a few samples and 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 there's a big noise that unbundled sonya grays, different types of species on a small experimental from. ready of to harvesting that, crushed to make clean energy and apply a gas pump. the solid and mix with respiratory nice they use for organic fast eliza test. it's effectiveness. he's trying out the homemade firefly saliva on his own field. ready is up, 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 you to fire guess from comp twice a cooking adult comics stuff. eliza,
3:43 pm
to improve crops by looks on this concept, has tailored to small farmers and remote regions. he wants to pump to heck tests in his village, just similar to his cock, this innovation project, seeing. and that's just the beginning, the band. 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 not just cock, this is the time cope well in drawing so many legions like chick fees a will. so drilled 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's right,
3:44 pm
sandra finances on some fire. in from near the german cup 2 little bro lane had no thought to the experimental cultivation of watson known as like julian, those plans and the results look promising these fun. 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 area to help it convert nitrogen from the yeah, which reduces the need for such lines as the farmers hope, the simple tweak will allow them to grow more the sustainable protein, which plants from the lake you, family. by the 20th must be crowded, 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 include lentils, peanuts, alfalfa,
3:45 pm
and clover stand out in the 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 were long a favorite with fall and this is the activity improve. so low quality rather than leaching out nutrients. so these chick peas are grown without onto visual 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 rainfall. because the ones the off time 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 dry soil. that's fucking leavings.
