she wanted me to remain mysterious, fearsome, strong, sometimes threatening, sometimes of charming. but i couldn't see behind her match. to the red princess stops november 25th on dw, the every where you're going in the i you will find a construction site like this on mountains, a center hello and welcome. i'm sorry, got the body annual watching equal india. and today i have a question for you. how much sand does a magic while? well, the answer is one k g pop us in body at least an open 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 into these episodes 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 caused 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 over several 1000 years at 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. ready with anyone who looks at our vast desert some thinks there's more than enough to go around with the wrong. ready desert sand is unsuitable for construction. the surfaces,

beach green is too fine and smooth. meaning that the greens don't 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 that's that their next sons the castle is pretty less the less auto loss who live in big high rises like these all forms the most, living in a lovely house on the beach as close to the sea as possible. but what happens when one day the sea is engulfing the beach? i'm the waves come knocking at your door. well, this is the reality and caroline's have not 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 data is quiet and pristine and it's a bad drug. he built

a dream house. yeah. my dad. any longer. the i got mad at 26 years ago and we built this house after 40 or somebody might have been worked as a handful earning just these 500 a d to build this house, but us, 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 was to get my daughter mad at in this house. i don't want this. i know this dream came crashing down last you and for the gt; life has become somewhat of a nightmare. but the body beach has become the latest sunshine in the bathroom between sea land, the sea width duck by fields, months soon when started to avoid the beach, then if no. com, dodgy res door rams versus solar water. but we wouldn't get the because of that sound loss. still the village administration evicted us from here. i had said i

would not these 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 protect from the sea were washed away all along. the banks, like the skeletal remains of homes, that once of button 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 tipped 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 do a place where it all started. mangled report went to rivers, meet the see the to reverse, bring him signed and settlement the c bushes and back, and everything clogged up by the miles of the boat. the area becomes dangerous for

around 2000 boats. the boss through every day most kept saying, well, the come on and i'm in the 34 boards on fuels. if i use today because of the less than that. so to will come to this problem. the blank or does are made in 9, the 9 these these break water is what a break through for the fishing community here. yeah, essentially just by as of rocks and bags that act like gates, that block sand from the mouth of the port. the ensure the channel stays deep and almost free of sun fisheries boomed for the geography of the course. changed that sort of thing. i mean, i mean they've made leaves of it to lead to long short cuts and the long short colors me. so the water was more battle or to be sure to so this is going to lead to 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 when he will have an awful cut outs on the shoreline, which act as badly as for the moment i'll say to me before it is the accumulation of $30000000.00, lots of data, coat, cups, and arrows and words this. so what's up, did i go trust? in the case of mangled for the break? what 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 wide beaches. in the benefit of fishermen of the port and those living north of the break watch, i thought it was a vein for the south. houses is rose and farm lands were washed away, ascend and land began receding aso trying multiple solutions, but failed. in 2018. the government in boston, i'm vicious $100000000.00 project to protect the beach is south of the break. what

the cost was strengthened would see was this project of the show to some extent artificial leave. so construct a deep in the sea to break up waves and reduce its 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 just interior further door stopped us out. so the, the what the, what used to be a cheap thing. the problem is, so instead of funding the problem, so that is what is happening in the case of construction, will save us like 3 quarters, the sea walls, and really it's going to end up redirecting the waves to us areas, but i'm not protected. and this is what is happening, knowing about the body, uninstall gigi's house. the effort to save the neighboring beach has gum at the cost of this. the fusion problem is not good to go away so many more new boats are being planned in india. this means more break watches and see was even without

bullets but other activities do that will increase in motion. more damage being constructed undergoes as reduced the flow of send him into the sea, 24 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 the walls and mostly walls means the cycle continues. india can't keep affording to shift the problem. what do you say is what the technology, what the, you know, the not the animal i've taken this nature. see, i knew that doing golf off, save on what thought of being lot of basic but a lot of lake and i know i know growing casually not on the bus. got it. so they did it. do they have in a different than a they are perfect and extreme and the, the way nobody is there could be, but they base their settlement and the very top out of them is that goes up to

a certain extent. so we may say, well, for the green law is turned off at, but the body, it's an anxious wait until the next months, and they said it couldn't get was more houses when go more themes will be it or did 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 and inside of equal system around it is also being killed. and the people who live alone cited of the in this suburb of not seeing the as noise,

the active a solid onto han was murdered in brought the light into your 2013 a hearty fine day. his son will never forget semester them. so that's around between 1115 at 1130 and 3 people drove their bikes down this lane. they have a from a village. this dropped the bike here, my father, both resting in his room. the short him down, got back on the by conflict of devices. mother bollet, i'm to han had been fighting, defend 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, when i do our guys to hon. has continued his father's fight in spite of the up in nature of the back to here, local authorities or joy gone. just define or describe the connection between local authorities and mining contractors for school because it is ramping. i mean,

it's such a large scale gave it to me, but i just gotta say you're gonna be up to the basic level, the top, a told her deeds are involved in management, the orders that they operate when, when the guy they sell and you decide to go to your door, the money was a big nic organization has only increased demand for the inside used in all kinds of construction projects. some 50000000 tons of signed is extracted from leaks. they have 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. the sam, somebody will bed is especially valuable in construction, says dr. for you as could side assign. just add the when i biodiversity box this send literacy, it is 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 big suite, the students it has scholarship for putting so these are all the differences in size and shape of it. um, but he was saying that more angler and therefore being perfect even ran license is that all into mind signed the law does not allow mining with hey, we machines like excavators, nor does it allow for building impedances in that it was flow in 2020 i contacted was issued a license to mine, sand not far from orchestra, hans land. who would i be to you mining the sticky place at the bed? vision of the quote in the, in the, at the moment if you count on you can see it. the 728 excavator machines that look the trucks that you see out there. the bottom of the bank of the river has already enrolled. it was it never to canada had updates and natural eventually 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 i do, but it is much more than just the body of water that flows through a plane. it creates flat planes, red lines, grasslands, and ripe adrian forests. which together created heavy, they both zones for humans and animals alike. the presence of sand in this very payden's own is essential for life to flourish. to renew that gold send from somebody you'll uh, deliver it to the vet a bit. and therefore the west strings. and when we want to things, it becomes kind of pull over the period of time and send plays very important role because it is not only purifying water, but it is home for many invertebrates, many, many invertebrates and these inventories, of course, you and 40, but they are missing, and this thing for those things size, many farmers like them,

we draw 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 going some a z or some sort of up to about most of the day. because of this does the cheese don't room and my glove a table of fruit on just have that the sooner lose them on 2nd, there are only 22 foods on the 2 on it, but they move the dire situation. drove them be too big, matters to quote you and as mining continues not far from his farm in the last 4 decades, this area on the i'm and i'd be seeing has already seen ground water levels dropped by it on 50 percent of incentives like no, i don't have explored in the last few decades and in the process, environmental concentrations have taken

a backseat week nomic factors. we need to come up with some solution, read, ecology and economy, maddie, and that is, that is possible. as i told you, that the brings a lot of sense, but we need to a study that which area i need to allow you to do and not to allowed. what are the season read when you can allow and what of the season when you do not allowing and so that the collision is required and probably you may get the answer for the human being. and when you get the answer for the well, i'm just associating biodiversity. different course across india have passed orders over the years due to an in san minding activities. the government who has set tools for sustainable signed mining practices. however, on the ground enforcement of these woods remain wanting as india of appetite for signed rules for those like our guys who live in the shadow of unchecked sign mining,

the air force to stem its damage continue. but why all the mining all of this sense? that's because us cities are expanding on people need houses to live in houses, need sands to be built. would it be fair to expect someone to live in a padded room just because we've used up all the sand and what's left is either very expensive or you need it? probably not. then what's the solution? the solution is the recycling existing building materials. i'm finding out alternate materials, like, upside consent. let's find out more about this. over the past 70 years, india's financial capital one buy has gone from just under a 1000000 people. over 20000000. the city is always building to accommodate it's ever growing population. but hemmed in by the seat on 3 sides, the city has only one, we left the girl and that's up. so why do some construction sites sometimes find

themselves shut down or slow to electric? it's something site engineer. so smith up real head must deal with often, or how does the sand have? well, a lot of course on this, the main component and the concrete we build with a lot of content. it's made of an aggregate assessment and some don't cool typing it up. so i'm just the binding agent that keeps this together. so i'm 11. am how model model sounds we need isn't available in the region. so it's important from other states like good jerome the say be as i despite being by the sea, the city is buffering shuttle sand for housing. it's growing population. recent estimates big the demand for staying in urban india at 60000000 tons wheeler primarily in the construction industry. some of the best sand for using construction is found under rivers. but this mining does long term damage to legal systems and local livelihoods. often the indian governments attempt at

controlling san mining have only set the business underground and mining has continued unbridled environmental engineering and research a d. b. i need your she says some of these materials can be upset. good for a cheap and sustainable replacement to stand by as we just increase their as the best product in the kind of my fault or any type of bonding that is affordable and what it, what are the find those to which tends to fly up. so that you need popular is collected all of that, and that's why as can be used for manufacturing of this flash of this upside, can flash good sauce to problems for the city at the same time when they produce as millions of tons of flash since telling about plants account for over 90 percent of mobilized by one needs. the goal is also use this fuel in many industries in the region. government regulations have been forced more. it was

a fly action constructions as a bind practice common across the world. but this has not made a seed has been in and densities hunger for natural event. as in large construction projects they spent as the primary concern slash aggregates have not yet seen widespread adoption by those who worked with them a deal every day. there was a nachos hand have to do and that's what we call not true. sound has qualities, but to difficult to find in the alternatives like man miss reading. since it's my maid, there are always shortcomings the strengths we get from natural sound isn't possible from them. i made some opponent, do they go home and had made and hitting them, but the answer to them by sand and fly as problems might be on the horizon. halfway across the woods, near the city of building the doctor bus khan is overseeing a possible solution to the tough challenges currently faced by the construction

industry. so when i was traveling in india, i came across a new state. the construction was hosted in lay. and when i'm in, in details in the subject, i realize that days are really probably the most sense. and at that time i had also experience working with the flyers. and that was the idea i came across. okay, we have a sense of flyers which we haven't problems and the concrete at the same time, the, the shortage. and that's how that executive from flash, the st. he came to germany from india to pursue cutting edge research in green technologies. and founded a startup with support from new york and union innovation program. after years of research, his being made a bank to and created the material they call life force. it lends as much strength to concrete as natural, diverse that. but it's made almost entirely from flash. so have to do,

we can do that in mind. he's a man, physical properties go to properties. and the most important thing to the inside of mindset, the compatibility of life force. and after that, if all of these properties on for the 5th requirements or for the extent that then we can see that our life force is visible for the production of different building materials. as we do here, there process tons this into this this light boards can be used as a complete replacement for natural sent in everything from likely concrete to mason remote. now scaling up the lab process into a full scale production light. the light bars eventually becomes slabs of sustainable concrete such as these and they're constantly improving the efficiency of the process you want to use and you know, less and less amount of chemical additives. so today the,

these 2 at the tuition where to be can make 95 percent 97 percent off life force can be made from the basic set of that that means are the most negligible like using natural resources use of poll is expected to city high in the coming decades in india, and so is the demand for bigger and better housing in expanding cities. this upside code division send me will be to be, to satisfy india's evergreen appetite for sense in construction. with bob, a full signed mafias behind the illegal sign mining jacket. standing up to them could also mean that despite this, a young man is doing this and with the help of the community, he is also rebuilding plantations and creating manuals. green as far as the i can see that trees are growing again here near the philosophy will in the

article, somebody not do is largely tags to speak on until a few years ago. this landlord baron, after the sign mafia plunder that route. lastly, i thought in 1983 before the screen department started to campaign to see if god the source installed is present at the time domain object absorbed to stop defense dealing activities. next it belongs to an increase the size of the small, dense, wooded areas and green spaces. people had gradually taken over the stores, she photos felt decrees, and son stealing activities, begin the as a young man, she comp left his own region and spent 10 years working in the film business in gen night. when he did go on home, the entire area has changed on nearly all the deadlines, literally, tickets that were there when i wasn't at school, have disappeared out. and i was deeply saddened to see there's somebody i made up my mind to keep blunting things in my hometown to improve it and help my society

and neighbors. anything in places where the sand mafia had valleys, the land shriek on laundry trees under the stringent controls of the authorities, and initially mistrustful eyes of his neighbors, you're gonna go on there. i have all of this place, the higher value on purpose. i mean, then on money gold, what are the riches and brought by value preserving nature is investing in boston. get down to the next generation and feeling that is my greatest. well, the financial incentives kind of a cheek on pads now planted more than $7000.00 trees, including many food bedding that i tease. is it both these young activists like c con partisan c o 2 to 3 days and the color g and ecosystem that give it to me in the 80 as a long the file as you? well, we have identified 70 different displays these all but with yet the people who live along very well benefit to mine and when i have a lot of land. yeah. 5 years ago,

the 80 i wasn't able to see it new to all the same. perfect. do with the is gone, and the slow need to do anything by doing the, by planting lot of trees and projecting b solution for the stadium. so you can test significantly improve this community and the lives of other people. the streak on still has a way to go to reach his goal. seems to blondes a small part of in every village in the area to give something back to nature. we need more such people who are committed to the idea of preserving our environment. and we also need more ideas to build sustainability because we cannot disclose, stop building more houses, roads and bridges. but we also need our equal systems. in fact, at all costs. uh would you like me to what did you like the most about today's episode and what would you like to see more of you can email us or write to me directly on my twitter. up until then have a great week. see you soon. take care that was gosh,
