and we've got some hot tips for your package, the romantic calling to check on some great cultural memorials to boot w travel regarding the every where you're going in the i you will find a construction site like this on mountains of sense. hello and welcome. i'm sorry, got the body annual watching equal india, and today i have a question for you. how much sand doesn't magic while? well, the answer is one k g pop us and body at least enough in india. and we are single construction booming, and dan would extracting sand from andrea was fossil,

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 infection with all their stones on its way to the sea, turns it over several 1000 years in 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 air 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 surface, the beach green is too fine and smooth. meaning that the greens don't bind instead, sand is becoming an increasingly skiffs commodity. sand mafia have long main to legally, even from beaches. but the kids aren't aware of this yet. the only worry is that their next sons, the castle, is pretty less the less auto loss who live in big high rises like these often dream of living in a lovely house on the beach as close to the sea as possible. but what happens when one day the sea is in go think of the beach and the waves come knocking at your door. while this is the reality and caroline's or not, you 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 wants to get my daughter mad at in this house. i don't want this. i know this dream came crashing down last to unfold. i. g, b life has become somewhat of a nightmare. but the body be to become the latest sunshine in the bathroom between c. m. land the sea width duck by fields small. soon when started to avoid the beach, then if no. com dodge his door 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 be because they would. i go in 2020 to see it goes and claim the public road chunks of the road that had been reinforced bags to protect from the sea were washed away all along. the banks, like the skeletal remains of homes that once of back to 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 stripped away nearly 100 meters of land, or the length of a football field. to understand why this was happening, we must go back to the u as in the boston. thank you, i'm. it does not do a place where it all started. load report with 2 rivers meet, the see the to reverse bringing signed and settlement the c bushes and back and everything clogged up by the mileage of the boat. the area becomes dangerous for

around 2000 boats. the boss through every day may have the most kept saying, well, the common phenomena, the 34 boards on the fuel being for new strong day because of the less than that. so to welcome to this problem of the very core dice. i'm really thin, 9 the 9 these these break. what does what a break to for the fishing community here? yeah, essentially just by as of rocks and bags that act like gates, that block sign from the most of the port, the ensure the channel stays deep and almost free of sand. fisheries boomed for the geography of the course. changed that sort of thing. i mean on the roof main leaves of it to lead to long shortcuts. and the long short colors means of the water and last mole batler to be sure to. and this is going to literally 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 not just out so that what it will have an awful cut outs on the shoreline, which act as badly as for the moment i'll say to me, before i is the combination of $39.00 lots of data, coat, cups, and dental and doors, the so what they'll fit, i called us in the case of bundled, for the big what was like an outcrop. it stopped the flow of sand and just a matter of your sign was accumulating above the brake was creating new white beaches in the benefit of fishermen of the boat and those living north of the breakwater. but it was a being for the south. houses is roads and farm lands were washed away, ascend and land began receding, also trying multiple solutions, but failed in 2018. the government in boston, i'm the issue of $100000000.00 project. to protect the beach is south of the bank.

what the cost was strengthened would see was this project of the show to some extent deficiencies for constructing deep in the sea to break up waves and reduce its force reaching the show. but dialogue is that solutions like these where the sea walls are, reeves only created new problems elsewhere. one single construct i say, well, in one place the italy have problem going to be shifted to be just interior either door. it's not that salt. so the, the, what they do is to be a cheap thing, the problem if the instead of funding the problem. so that is what is happening in the case of construction will save us like break waters. the see was and we skipped and never d directing the waves to us areas, but i'm not protected. and this is what is happening, knowing about the body and in charge of these house. the effort to save the neighboring beach has comma the cost of this. this, the origin problem is not going 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 russian. more damage being constructed, undergoes as reduce the flow of sediment to the sea. 24 percent of india as coastline on nearly 2300 kilometers is equal to billions of dollars would be needed to protect the shows more erosion means most c was in multi wells, means the cycle continues. india con, people forwarding to shift the problem for me to say is what the technology, what the, you know, the feeling like the animal life goodness nature. see, i know that don't go above save on what far, being lot of basic reason why lake and i, you know, i know going casually know odd bellow about, but it's gotta fit. so that then into the raven a different then a deal to certain extent. and the, the way nobody is that could be but they base their settlement and the very top out

of them is that goes up. those have been extinct. so we may say a roof of a green lawn. yes or no. i bought the buddy. it's an anxious wait until the next months, and they said a really get was more houses will go. more themes will be to date, everyone 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 mining. 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 invisible both not in the as neither

active as valid. i'm to han was murdered in broad daylight in the year 2013 a hearty fine day. his son will never forget semester or even so that's around between 11. 15 at $1130.00 and $3.00. people drove their bikes down this land, beaver from a village. they stopped the bike. here my father was resting in his room. the short him down. got back on the bike and fled the bison. mugging. bollet, i'm to han had been fighting the sand, mining mafia annoyed guy who has been operating unchecked for years. something that hasn't changed much to this. the practice that has heard the livelihoods and the delicate ecology internet on the i'm one of our guys to hon has continued his father's fight in spite of the up in nature of the, by the local authorities or joy gone. just define or describe the connection between local authorities and mining contractors, afterschool because it is ramping. so it's a larger scale and the name,

but they use that to say you're gonna be up to the basic level, the top a told her deeds on info, on doing manage with the orders that they operate when, when the guy they say i, when you decide to go to getting a job, a money was a big nic organization has only increased demand for the but in sand used in all kinds of construction projects. some $50000000.00 tons of signed is extracted from leaks, save a beds, cost lines, and then does every year. this massive removal of sand cannot be replenished easily and takes thousands of years to recover the sand. somebody will bed is especially valuable in construction, says dr. for you as could side assigned just add the human eye. biodiversity box this send literacy, it is uh mm. more english literacy. does that send that very light to very light the venue see signed of to see if they have they have

capacity to absorb mode here. with it, so therefore the very mix with is the it test go to properties. so these are called the differences in size and shape event. um, but he was saying that more angler and therefore being different even man license is that all seem to mind signed. the law does not allow mining with heavy machines like excavators, nor does it allow for building impedances in that it was float. in 2020, a contractor was issued a license to mine, sand not far from orchestra, hans land. who would i be to? you'll be minding the sticky place at the bed, vision of the quote in the, in the, at the moment. if you count on, you can see a few 7 to 8 x covered the machines that daunted, look, the trucks that you see on the bottom of the bank of the river has already enrolled

it, was it you want me to canada had a big so naturally the bank, so it had been indented to the natural flow, but it, but it has to change these areas of money 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 up clean. it creates flat planes, red lines, grass lines, and dr. bailey and forests, which together created heavy, they both zones for humans and animals alike. the presence of sand in this type, adrian's own, is essential for life to flourish. to renew the cold sand from some bad, you'll believe it to the but a bit. and therefore the like strings. and when we've got to things, it becomes kind of pulled over the period of time and send please 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 been feeling the impact of sand 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 years 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 $22.00 foods on the 2 out in the name of 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 around the i'm and i'd be seen has already seen ground water levels drop by it on 50 percent of incentives like no, i don't have exploded in the last few decades. and in the process, environmental considerations have taken

a backseat week nomic factors. we need to come up with some solution, read, ecology and economy, maddie, and that is a, that is possible, as i told you, that the brings lot of sense. but we need to study that which area need to allow utility and not to allow. what are the season to read? oh, when you can allow and what of the season when you do not 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 associated biodiversity, different course across india have fast 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 sign girl.
