after 58 minutes, everything samuel t for this clumsy tackle no problems for stuff kitley are eliminated. well, so the world cup, japan sides well ready through, but the japanese finished top of the group mid field that he knows me as i'll put japan head in the 12 minutes a fine finish. but east paul, spain's goalkeeper just the full the hall. me as our school again off for a perfect counter attack before no victory means japan of school, the most goals of the tournament with 11 safe. and that's all we have time for close up is coming up. next. money keeps making and thank you so much for what 50 to lease the . not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we

take time to understand this is the day and in depth look, moves events, analyzed by experts and critical thinkers. weekdays on d, w. germany is facing shortages of a precious commodity. climate change, pollution and growing use are leading to water wells no longer being able to meet the demand. spots with water of drinking quality are getting harder to find it's really got. so for me to find new water sources, even dosing is making a comeback. so if it pulls up here and you're, um, water shortages are even taking their toll on the very end, beer production, credit and taking destroyed, which means it could produce a lot more. it's better operating below capacity because we're not getting enough water. the

bush don becca brewery in the various southern germany totally on show, originally wanted to expand operations here and produce more beer. but the brewery has no wells of its own. its water supply comes from the town and started back is facing a water shortage. limit was set, it has to how much water the brewery can use. and the utility company reduce the size of the pipe for incoming water place to became some future. when you have a pipe like this, only a certain amount of water, it can pass through any way, you know, but it's also limited right here to a precepts quantity of a piece of pipe. as i said, as a regular household, water plant to heat hope to produce $200000.00 heck the liters per year,

but can only make $50000.00 as few that are simply not enough. what are the, what are the currently the limiting factor is the municipal supply? mean if we had more water, we'd be able to hook up 3 more tanks. we already have all the piping, alyssa speed, i saw 300 kilometers further, north winds, the village of back time, which is also facing water scarcity. the village of 3000 people has its own small water works, but the wells can no longer yield. and now, especially in the summer, there's also a quality issue. the ground water has become polluted with fertilizers used by farms in the area. and therefore it has to be treated at considerable cost and mixed with uncontaminated water. local mayor calling because she is under pressure is on which of the farming industry says it needs a lot more water. and if you're a gate specialty crop as we do it,

and people need to have a secure supply of drinking water. and so you get things most of them. those are conflicting interests. in the long term, we won't be able to guarantee a steady supply of improved quality drinking water on our own form, i think was for a farmer and back time, the water scarcity has already become an existential issue. we shot calling about, converted his parents. small sideline farm for gaining production and expanded it significantly the droughts of recent years mean his business is now in danger. switching to other crops that need less water isn't an option. this optic done so if there was a demand for vegetables of august domestic production mates just 40 or 50 percent of germany's vegetable consumption. but switching wouldn't be easy for us. this is real. and since we have all of the equipment has gone through and invested in these crops, it's the only thing physically to and i was going to calling about has his own wells on his farm. but since the beginning of 2023, due to shortages in the region,

the authorities have cut the amount of water he's permitted to extract in half. this although over the last few years, the farmer has needed more water and not less tea and other affected farmers have called for water to be pumped here from the nearby river mine. but such a decision takes time. meanwhile, calling about his doing what he can to cut back on water. here, he's using hunger so caustic pipes to irrigate his time crumbs to minimize evaporation. but ultimately withdraw derogation, you need 20 to 30 percent less water. so you save water by not losing any. stood the root of the problem here is climate change which has the farm are deeply concerned with the throw companion organs and we have long drive periods and more intense heavy rainfall here as well. now this is but one the oh, i didn't have the impression that it was so dry for so long that i'm going to withdraw from on. the crucial factor is what's called ground water recharge, which is when underground aquifers are replenished by water seeping into the ground

. areas mark blue on the map are okay. those mark, yellow, orange and red have to little new ground water the, the regional agency for mining energy and geology has been tracking the development of ground water recharge in northern germany. the mathematical models they've created indicate that significant ships are coming is get geezer areas where we know that between the years, 20712100. that will be more ground water going on right next to these. their areas with the ground water will be depleted. this will be our that's even the context. let's see what kind of implement off the items are deshawn with someone the one hand that will be the question of whether plants will get enough water on side to. and virtually right next door, someone may have problems with their house because of rising ground water. how do

you still believe them in my house by going to sign thing? so according to the german media are illogical. heavy rainfall events have increased by 25 percent since 1950, but such massive rain falls contribute little to ground water recharge because they flow off into the sea via canals and straighten rivers. then as recharged this phenomenon is called ground water depletion. vast couldn't get to be near actually, what can we do to restrain press at the tone back those water masses. okay, so for example, by trying to accumulate that water and bringing exactly to where it's needed to done da him to bring more months than often, ne, paid us talking to north ryan was failure. the local waterworks are busy upgrading here hydro geologist punk schmidt has worked out the ideal place for a new drinking water. well, the aims to be prepared for the impact of climate change. and this is where the will will be installed to mobiles. hopes of we have the main stay here. 1.5000000

cubic meter. that's over 80 percent of the mountain needed from this one location alone or the, the well should be finished and ready for use this year. in con, the drilling companies engineer, representatives from the water works and a specialist engineer are inspecting the site recommended by schmidt. and you know, it's a big responsibility for the hydro geology. he's had to take many times where we can expect many meters of sand and gravel that filter the ground water meter, a group of filters on the user. and then from the ability of the layers is important. so that we can ensure the amount required can actually be extracted, meaning that the boxes does this all prefer that to be able to come. this is what a typical extraction. well, in germany looks like. after a test drill the well shopped is dug out and a water pipe installed with a pump. the ground water flows through filter slots into the shaft and has been pumped up. a lot is withdrawn the ground water level control,

which is why there are strict limits set by the parties. function which services are more in demand than ever. he travels all over germany to track down ideal locations for new wells and always brings his hydro geological maps of the feature data from all tests. real is conducted and known groundwater measuring points once and deals with the help of a wealth of additional data. schmidt then creates computer models of where there is sufficient ground water and where the ground water recharge rate is healthy. can proceed in this bundle contest, various locations without the need for on site metrics. the model itself contains all the basic data about the area, and you're just like the depth of the aquifer, the ground water level, recharge rate, etc. and then i can place a well location at any point in the model,

but the biggest is this one is the results show that this is a really useful instrument. so for subsequent planning to, so i'm going to talk to us and instrumental for the vital call model. further south and central germany, we're going to invest in hosp has a very different approach to use as a controversial instrument to find an ideal drilling site. oh hi. i'm looking for mr. ben, so i'm around there. okay. can you give him a hint? he got a call from the drilling company. this? no, i'm going to be in the delta, steve all in here, but we want to drill here and asked me to have a look where a good spot with the ongoing go to bush, unless the will is for you off in hoffman. his stone masonry business needs up to $40000.00 leaders of water per day, which cost him $4000.00 euros per year. you can pause, i'm up until now. this water comes from our regular water supply, meaning drinking water bottle. i'd like to avoid that costs and use ground water

that runs in a water bearing layer instead of to also preserve our drinking water resources. ida for most own lifestyle dispute as well. that's how the idea of for digging a well came up. yeah. when done. com, do you d? i know when to going to invest in hoff tells us he's never been here before and doesn't know the terrain. his client hopes that drilling site can be found as close as possible to the main company building to avoid the need for long pipes. so this is where the 76 year old downs are, focuses his initial survey for 30 years. now he's been conducting searches for water relying on his experience and on his to trust the plastic runs you show us is through stuff as you can. i use what i've learned over the years to find when nature has created the best drilling result for as well, which means where the most water is and what data thinking couldn't. the size of w is very different methods for doing that and make a teaser one does get this,

the angle broad and and then the better known dowsing road ingler, who i mean visual, it's the combination that gets us our result into the coming. that's the orange of let's these ton does. it gave me this is configured, can't wait to see the results and hope it works. us getting back to northern germany to a water works and the old and book area. climate change isn't the only factor leading to water scarcity here. there are also problems with the ground water quality. the oldenburg dish us to please the show of us if a bond. the o. w. v is one of germany's biggest drinking water suppliers. the local water company is set up some 2 and a half 1000 measuring points across the area. it extracts water and regularly takes samples to test the quality. several wells had to be closed in recent years because of high nitrate levels due to the over fertile ization of fields, the too much liquid mon, newer from factory farming nitrate can be especially hazardous for babies and

children. in germany, the limit is 50 milligrams per liter. this sample shows 3 times the permitted level . meaning this water is not suitable for drinking. this could be monsoons, but that's a really serious problem because we can't remove the nitrate, so that's here. the ground water with a water works, mostly concise. nitrate is a highly soluble sodium, lower under treatment plants, country move it's fights, and we would need to sell a nation facilities which would drive off the cost of nervously route to around double home and the part that's tough adults and the government's been aware of the problem for decades, but despite new legislation, it's far from under control. and the red areas, the nitrate concentration is above the permitted 50 milligrams per liter, which puts germany in violation of the laws on nitrate authorizes um, what's going on? because on it's a clear case of government failure and we thought we've had nitrate guidelines for

over 30 years. now i have to talk on few talk german who's had plenty of time and opportunities to respond and take action against the nitrate. the problem because when i put all of those opportunities up in wasted and i came to the court case from flies to youngs on the goals, there could be a huge bill in the post for brussels. and i cut out all being avoided back and pay this huggins. the drilling has begun. morning. good. how are we good to go? oh, absolutely. is or set up and ready to start using so much stuff, not the the new wellbeing doug here will share the work load of the older ones during the dry somers. in this case, due to the lack of rock under the ground. the excavation work is done with the so called grab bucket. this gradually extracts sand and gravel. what makes the task tricky is that the ground water is being exposed, which means there are a host of regulatory and protective requirements that must be complied with, including for the machines being used. if the ground water were contaminated,

it would be disastrous. the dressing room its view, we can only use organic oil and biodiesel, not williams. also you can see the plastic sheeting, we have to put under the drilling machines and we have to be careful with refueling alcohol. we're subject to very extensive requirements lies the awkward for has a slight flow, so any oil that drops and would be carried away, you'd probably need a major clean up operation, including extensive pumping and inspections before it's clean again. so anything falling in there would be an utter disaster. so it doesn't have to come up. after 2 days of drilling, large plastic pipes are lowered into the shaft. the engineer checks whether all the materials ordered have been delivered. so that's for the next one. exactly. up and all the intercept equipment is there to yes, so there go, it's never

a routine operation. you come through of the 15 plus the tip spots with water of drinking quality are getting harder to find the image, right? so if you want to expand empty wells, less invasive lease, then you have to locate additional drilling sites on the bicycle and also take precautions for the years to come. young, come on the o. as the wells, a job performance declines, and you need to find new locations. the 40 almost 20 meters down, the grab bucket hits ground water. so have to drill a little deeper to reach the right quantity, but the hydro geological calculations for the new drinking water. well, we're correct the for punk schmidt. that means this job is done. the hydro geologist is constantly

booked on the booming sector has seen major developments since the 3 dry somers from 2018 to 202020 from shop systems probably wouldn't call it a state of shock. but it's a very worrying state of affairs soon succeed because you never would have expected it 5 or 6 or 7 years ago. people would say we have enough water in germany. it's just the quality because that's a problem. well, and now it's become a quantity problem between quantitative spoke. nobody expected it to be so extreme and happen so quickly in central germany. going to invest in office still defining for water now and again has run switches. any marks the spot many c dosing as non scientific invest in hoff insisted spend delivering results for generations to see 2 old men move um it pulls up here in your own good and for, for the road just gets pulled down. governments. i can also do it with the 2nd

person if need be and it gave you the energy transfers and it works on table. think you need to have a special gift, but it's something you can learn what kind of plan. and he says, the ideal spot is where too awkward for his intersect. the frog is unfold. what comes most of it's about where you have the most, what a dump and an intersection gives me more options. and i'll give you the top layer here is 11 or 12 made this down. and the next one is that 30 or 35 meters, or even data he's done by proxy agreement. the privacy determining the depth is difficult to devise. they've got to you, but i've never seen more on the rally. been wrong of individually obviously. no, says no the need for time. okay. got it. okay, right here would actually be perfect. well, coincidence. yeah, i don't. yeah, we got lucky. nice on. yeah. yeah, sure. yeah, i say fine, go ahead. now it's time for the drilling company to get to work and time is money. the. the crucial question for the client right now is,

will the team find enough water for the stone masonry firms needs? or will it have been a costly adventure over at the organic farm run by a be shot calling about the situation is becoming increasingly precarious. he has 4 wells on his premises, around a 3rd of his crops, now need irrigating due to the extremely modest rain fall in the spring. he conserves water wherever he can, by digging furrows in his vegetable field. for example, the soul retains more water than if it were level calling about as annoyed and says it's unfair that the extraction quote is from his zone for wells were cut in half the bill. and the main thing is, we're not requesting more instructors. we just want to keep the status quoted initial closing, and that would be a health. we don't irrigate just the final because we want to use up the whatever

it is. i think it's the foundation of that business going blog if it ones are not trusting. and he's not the only one feeling frustrated. a number of farmers have come to voice their concerns with the mayor. they've no joined forces to form an irrigation association with the aim of being assigned more water using a solid and supported event for losing money by the day. and there's the problem of our ground water rights expiring. as head of the local water works, the mayor is expected to find a rapid solution. he's brought in experts from an engineering firm. julia should have coverage. she has studied the increasingly dramatic situation. the other stuff gets thomas on irrigating them until now they exclusively use ground water. yeah. but extreme drops in the ground water has been observed. so the water management agency had declared the moratorium to okay, so the ground hold to to no longer be extracted in areas where the thresholds have

been. so pos mendoza system shredded out in the ongoing fight over distribution. the local authority has to satisfy the interests of residents, farmers and nature to one idea proposed by the farmers is for them to use water from the river mind around 10 kilometers away solely for their fields, not for drinking water. after looking at the situation, usually a stiff condition and her boss recommend 1st connecting the village to a larger pipeline in the vicinity. to relieve demand on the local water works, couldn't stick it in the future hassle, come from a remote water supply and the other half from local. well, when it goes to mix together, will have a nitrate level below that limits water here already costs a lot more than the national average. but the village has no choice but to install the 5 kilometers long pipeline. the cost will probably also have to be passed on to

water bills adding to all the other growing price increases, but there will be more water available, helping to diffuse the conflicts over distribution. for now, at least water scarcity has also become an issue in urban areas, such as frankfort, where a growing population requires a growing amount of water. engineer on today is power has to find new operations so that water works. companies and other clients are able to cope with the rising demand. his idea is to bringing water from a nearby reservoir that collects surface water from roads and surrounding towns to be for frank for its drinking water. fixing. this would require high tech solutions in the form of modern membranes that can filter around the dust and dirt expect or to discuss effect this weekend. and there's an added innovation cornerstone as the solution also collects water from germany's increasing heavy rain events and renders that usable or is this is what i knew here is that until

now, such potentially polluted water was considered taboo for drinking purposes. move on opera. but in this case, you have a reservoir already in place where you can take water that with the right technology i use, it can be dependably treated as frequently. this can climate change is causing greater demand and sweet dial foot was awesome. and today's power also used as maps, weather data and projected consumption levels in his quest for water. as an engineer, he's skeptical of dancing rock. the thing might switch deep is deep charlotte, there are charlatan. dowser who says he can find 20 leaders per 2nd at a depth of 50 meters at a specific spot is not trustworthy. good. i have done some dousing myself and i did get a response. but without expert knowledge and the principles of geology, i would never think i could determine a drilling location when in fact,

the reason i'm poor, poor physically over at the stone masons. they've now been drilling for 2 hours. going to the best and hop says he isn't a charlatan. and he used his 1000 rods to determine both the drilling points and the depth of the water to be 30 or 40 meters. the community cut the street driving the problem to the ration with individual is that they need an explanation for everything or the coolest this. what about the art of dowsing? is to allow for things that you have no immediate explanation, falls to particularly, and that was the threshold. i crossed man, ultimately that led me to be coming at dallas off to be sure to confuse you. what do you think about it fixed? i basically i work with 2 different roads, so been under this one's called an angle road one. this recipient doesn't mind you want them to you. um send you along. somebody like slow down. not so fast. it has to transfer to your buddy without from kind of you, yes, these company and now we're seeing activity again. oh yes. the most now stand still

. does it? yep. that's the influence of the price. okay, so i didn't believe it either 30 years ago. the price is yeah, but that's the proof that there is something since even. yeah, you can keep them a little further apart, stunted and also so it's tension in the muscles that makes them come together to industry and even so decent to something good. and then the weight is over, the team hits water clear drinking water flows out of the bar, whole the drilling company teen take measurements to see whether the after flow is large enough for a well. the drill operator gives the thumbs up. the ground water is exactly where the dallas are suspected to minutes. that's doesn't. we now have confirmation just like mr. preston have said before the water is 30 to 35 meters below ground bodies, which made the under quantity is sufficient for the stone masonry firm in 5 minutes between one have a great set to relief. and there is a movie that once again, that's true. yeah,

so i'm really happy to go to investing hop finished another job successfully, but he's worried in the 3 decades he's been at dallas, or he's seen the ground water level changed dramatically. he's had to download the back, then there were adverbs, dead. so study made, it was also on and now we're talking 60 your id made is what does it and it's not getting any better despite the rain as the vague notes on via email. but it's still too much being extracted in relation to the fresh rain coming in, but you can define comp, it does. it's an age old problem and the groundwater level of what but cover any time soon. less drastic action is taken to save water existing via and fema investors pumped back up in north west germany and lower sacks. any, the local waterworks company, the o w v, is gearing up for the future by modernizing some of this wells. in addition to increasing consumption by industry and the growing population. the area has the further problem of toxic pollutants from farming. this new, well,

we'll be deeper in order to get a few years reprise the, for the nitrate from fertilizers and factory farming seats that far down into the yawn. but in some areas we're already finding ground water, nitrates contamination of deeper levels to invest. so we resort to greater depths with each new well and group if it's possible to drill $1020.00 or 30 meters deeper, then we'll use that opportunity to advise and i try to contamination nearer to the surface of the old, off at the office and on the top the dots through all the drilling diversity and there's not a long term solution that is kind of we noticed all of this on civil divorced projections anticipate more extreme weather conditions, more heavy rain and more heat in the summer. we have also for going off the water suppliers, light goes, are facing the big increase in demand tom and especially extremely hot stores. besides some conflicts over the use of distribution of water as a resource will definitely intensify. bands expensive cars for sale for down in the

bay area. the fight over distribution is already impacting germany's favorite beverage. solely on true is getting less municipal water for his brewery than he'd like in place of more steel tanks full of beer. he's had to set up these water tanks as a stop gap solution. so it was america told me that instead of the 6 days would be able to produce if it were being forced to reduce to 3 days, max would have shipped operation here. the water shortage translates into a beer shortage. and the brewery is not allowed to drill its own wells in the area . so most of us die is just the water that is available is subject to severe restrictions in order to guarantee the general supply type. in germany, water scarcity is an ever growing problem. and more areas will be affected in the future. the quest for new water sources has become a race against time. the.

the people in trucks injured one trying to feed the city center. more and more refugees are being turned away. the bees correct on the straight pieces extreme getting 200 people around the world. one

which we ask why? because no one should have the make up your own mind. me for mine's the when do people feel free? united and independence for the lot to be.
