we're bringing an environmental conservation to weiss with learning facts, like global ideas. we will show you how climate change and environmental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can make a difference. knowledge grows through sharing, download it now for the every where you go in and the i, you will find a construction site like this on mountains of fence. hello and welcome. i'm solved . you 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 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 in today's episode 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 cause rocks to break off the cliff face. the rock has been swept away by mountain rivers. the water infection 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 with anyone who looks at our vast desert. some thinks there's more than enough to go around the wrong. ready desert

sand is unsuitable for construction. the surface, the beach green is too fine and smooth. meaning that the green stone 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 is that their next son, the castle, is pretty less the less auto loss who live in big high rises like these all for 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 golfing, 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 and good not to go. state is quiet and pristine and it's a bad drug. he built a dream house. yeah. my dad didn't live under the i got mad at 26 years ago, and we've been to this house after 40 or somebody might have been was a handbook earning just to be 500, a d, to build this house. but as 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? the location such as this might seem wants to get my daughter mad 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 be to become the latest sunshine in the bathroom between c. m. land the sea width duck by fields, month soon when started to avoid the beach, then if no comes out of his door. a rams versus so out of that 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 projects 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 pendulum. it does not do a place where it all started. load report with 2 revised meet the see the 2

of us being signed and settlement the see bushes and back and everything clogged up by the mileage of the boat. the area becomes dangerous for around 2000 boats. the boss to every day may have both kept saying, well, the common phenomenon, the 34 boards aren't fueled by yesterday because of less than that. so to welcome to this problem, to the bank with us on the 9th, the 9th these, these 3 quarters were a breakthrough for the fishing community here. the essentially just fires 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, chilled gutter and the long, chilled colors mean so the water was moved paddler to be sure to. so 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 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 combination of $39.00 lots of data, coat, cups, and dental and doors. this always thought that i could trust in the case of mangled report, the big one was like an outcrop. it stopped the flow of sand in 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 bought it was a beam for the south house is rules and farm lands will washed away, ascend and land began receding aso trying multiple solutions, but failed in 2018. the government in boston,

i'm dishes $100000000.00 project to project the beach is south of the break. what the cost was strengthened would see was this project of the show to some extent deficiencies for construct a deep in the sea to break up waves and reduce its force reaching the show. but dialogue is that solutions like these, whether it's sea walls or reeves only created new problems elsewhere. one single construct i said well in one place, the problem going to be shifted to be just interior for their course, not that south. so the, the, what they're doing this would be a cheap thing. the problem is, so instead of finding the problem, so that is what is happening in the case of construction, will save us like 3 quarters the c was and we skipped end up redirecting the waves to us areas, but i'm not protected. and this is what is happening, knowing about the body and in john g. these house, the effort to save the neighboring beat has comma the cost of this. this,

the origin 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 that reduce the flow of sediment to the sea. 24 percent of india as coastline on nearly 2300 kilometers is equal with billions of dollars would be needed to protect these shows. more erosion means most c was in multi wells, means the cycle continues. india con, keep affording, to shift the problem on the say is what the technology, what the, you know, the feeling like the animal life getting this nature. see, i knew that don't golf off. save on what thought of being lot of basic but a lot of lake and i know i know growing casually right now on the bus. gotta fit. so they, they, they do, they have in a different than

a deal to certain extent and they may, 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 a roof of a green law instead of the one i bought the body, it's an anxious wait until the next month. so it is a pretty 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 in say, shibley's 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 an entire equal system around it is also being killed. and the people who live alone cited of the invisible both north india as noise that active is

followed onto han was murdered in broad daylight in the year 2013 a hearty fine day. his son will never forget semester everyone's will got around between 1115 at 1130 and 3 people drove their bikes down this lane. they were from a village. they stopped the bike here. my father, both resting in his room. the short him down, got back on the bike and flooded 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 i've heard the livelihoods and the delicate ecology internet on the i'm one of our guys to han has continued his father's fight in spite of the up in nature of the bad to pick a local authorities or joy gone. just define or describe the connection between

local authorities, either in mining contractors up for school. because if it is ramping, i had such a large scale the name, but it's not to say you're gonna be up to be successful. the top authorities are involved in management. the orders that they operate when, when the guy they say, i mean, cuz i just got a lot of 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 dentists 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 me to see it is uh me 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 mod here with that. so therefore the very mix we've seen it has scholarship for putting so these are called the differences in size and shape events. um, but he was saying that more angler and therefore being perfect, even red license is that all seem to 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 flowed in 2020, a contractor was issued a license to mine, signed not far from august. johannes 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 it. the 7 to 8 x covered the machines that daunted work,

the drugs that you see all day, the bottom of the bank of the it has already enrolled. it was it, you cannot, i had a big so natural bank. so it could have been one indented to the natural flow, but it, but it has to change these areas of money because of mining. what was that? as a media, you go down 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 the cold sand from some bad. you'll believe it to be but a bit. and therefore the like strings. and when we've got to things, it becomes kind of food and over a period of time and send please very important role because it is not only purifying water, but it is home for many invite categories, 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 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 on the i'm and i be seen has already seen ground water levels drop by it on 50 percent ovens and just like, no,

i don't have exploded in the last few decades. and in the process, environmental considerations have taken a backseat. we can all make factors. we need to come up with some solution, read ecology and economy mattie. and that is a, that is possible. as i told you, that the editor brings a lot of sense. but we need to study that which area i need to allow me to do and not to allowed. what are the season read when you can allow and what are the see then when you do not. 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 eva, and use the associated by the divers, different course across india have fast orders over the years to dane, in san minding activities. the government do have set tools for sustainable sign mining practices. however, on the ground in force meant of these woods remain wanting as india of appetite for signed rules for those like archives who live in the shadow of unchecked sand

mining, the air force to stem its damage continue. but why all the mining all of this, and 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 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, be left a girl, and that's up. so why do some construction site sometimes find themselves shut down? or slow? it looked at the it's something site engineer, solution with up real hit. must deal with often is how much of the sand have? well, a lot of course on this, the main component and the concrete we build with a model concept. it's made of an aggregate cement and some i don't cool typing it up. so i'm just the binding agent that keeps this together. so i'm 11. am. how about other model sounds we need isn't available in the region? so it's important from other states like good jerome the say the at the despite being by the sea, the city is buffering showed of sand for housing. it's growing population. recent estimates big the demand for staying in urban india at $60000000.00 tons per year. 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 ash majestic to be there as the best product in the kind of my fault or any type of bonding that is a foldable name. or do i have to find those which sense to fly up so that you need top level is collected all of that? and that's why as can be used for manufacturing. well, this flash of this upside can fly ash good sauce to problems for the city at the same time. monday produces millions of tons of flash, since teller, about plants account for over 90 percent of mobilized by one needs

goals, as also used us fuel, in many industries in the region. government regulations have been forced more. it was a flash and constructions as a bind practice coming across the world. but this has not made a seed has been in and densities hunger for natural, defend in large construction projects where spent as the primary concern slash aggregates have not yet seen widespread adoption. by those who work with the materials every day do more than that. so sand have for doing that. what we call not true sound has qualities that are difficult to find in the alternatives language reading since it's my made are always shortcomings. the strengths we get from natural sound isn't possible from them. i made some opponent, do they go home? it hadn't met and he gave up, but the answer to them by sand and fly ash, problems might be on the horizon. possibly across the world. near the city of been in the doctor bus khan is

overseeing a possible solution to the tough challenges guaranty faced by the construction industry. so when i was struggling in india, i came across the news that the construction was halted. and by and when i've been in details in the subject, i realize that that is really a problem the month sent. and at that time i had also experience working with the flyers. and that was the idea came up. okay. we have a sense of flyers, which are you having problems in the concrete, at the same time, give this chart page. and that's how that exactly, from flash to say. he came to germany from india to pursue cutting edge research in green technologies. and founded a startup with support from europe and union innovation program. after years of research, his dean made a break to and created the material they call life force. it lens as much strength

to concrete as natural, and they're both set. but it's made almost entirely from flash. so have to do, we can do that in mind. he's a man physically properties gimme coded properties. and the most important thing to the inside of mindset compatibility of light force and stuff to that. if all of these properties on for to fit the requirements of the standards, 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 bars can be used as a complete replacement for natural sent in everything from likely concrete to mason remote data. 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 detail. so today the, these 2 at the tuition where you can make 95 percent 97 percent off life force can be made from the basic sense. so that means all most negligible, like you've been mentioned, 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 differ. she'll send me will be to be to satisfy india's evergreen appetite for sense in construction. with bob, a full signed mafia is behind the illegal sign mining jacket. standing up to them could also mean that despite this all young man is doing this on with the help of the community. he is also rebuilding the lung patients and creating manuals

green as part of the i can see that trees are growing again here near the velocity will in the north of them and not do is largely tanks to streak on until a few years ago, this land the baton after the sand mafia plunder that route. lastly, i pulled out in 1983 before the screen department started to campaign to see if god, the solutions thought is because of 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 home region and spent 10 years working in the film business in gen night. when he did go into home, the entire area has changed. nearly all the bins, literally, tickets that were there when i wasn't at school had disappeared and i was deeply

saddened to see this. i made up my mind to keep blunting things in my hometown to improve it and help my society and neighbours anything in places where the sand mafia had valleys, the land shriek on slanty trees under the stringent controls of the authorities. and initially mistrustful eyes of his neighbors, you 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 no problem? i value preserving nature is investment in boston. get down to the next generation and here's my greatest the pennies within. i've heard of that chica and has now planted more than $7000.00 trees, including many food bedding. but i tease as it goes to young activists like c con partisan c o. 2 destination of the color g and ecosystem that get it to be in the areas along the lines. you well, we have identified 70 different disparities all but with the the people who live along very well benefit to mine. and when i have a plot of land here, 5 years ago,

the area wasn't anybody see 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 threes and projecting b solution for the stadium seek on testing if it can be, improve this community and the lives of other people. the streak on still has a way to go to reach his goal, seems to blonde a small artist in every village in the area to give something back to nature. we need more such people who are committed to the idea of resolving 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 know 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 of, gosh,
