the coming up, but next there on dw, add documentary about so forth, discussed a nice spanish of a patient of power dice. a friend golf of humble will be just about something. the good news 3 is the most powerful woman, little sister of the dictate to mysterious strategic who is can you tell me you can say she represents a mixture of expectations and disappointment. the thing is, do you think it's the red princess starts november 25th on dw, the

spanish vacations meeting, sizzling heating and cooling water pools by the beach. and in this city center, it's nice to relax by the pool in the afternoon. so that was fun. cause tourism consumes vast amounts of water while locals live with water rationing to discuss political risk to use on average 3 to 5 times more water than barcelona residents. agriculture also requires huge amounts of water. wells continuously pump the ground water level with killing the planet, destroying everything in the photo springs, tourism in agricultural sectors are growing, but some regions have not seen rain in 6 months. the longest drought in decades, some of the goons of already dried up. so you think it is the shift divorced and those type of this has become a desk there?

no, we can deny it. we can look away. but it's obvious cuz now it's and maybe at the end of the bar. so now with 27000000 annual visitors, no other city in spain attracts more tourists on our tour of the city, we noticed that the fountains so typical of barcelona are dry. one side of the dramatic water shortage. the regional government shut them off in march. with temperatures well about 30 degrees celsius, people really missed the cooling fountain. there's nothing sadder than

a fountain without water. okay. so you don't like it like that, no water running water. a sad sight, but a necessary measure and of course, should help save water too. at the your to bundle tow norma gallow free. i live either is campaigning for shorter showers. well here we slain. hello the challenge for minute shower and this is a simple sign. watch why? for minutes? because the world health organization says that the media of a shower is 10 minutes and we waste 200 liters. and then these, like these days of this tell it until 4 minutes. it's only to waste 80 meters per shower. this is the extra and some of them said i'm able to to make out my shower 2

minutes. so, so it's great. now. this year when it comes to saving water, every effort counts we meet harry sure. and from concert drinking his morning coffee on the hotels roof deck, she sees the form in a shower as a good challenge. to show my get myself west under the shower and then turn off the water life. and so myself once or twice a month, but use less than full minutes of water in totals. i'm clear and it's not for you mean by so it's been stuff you liked for and 6 me and i'm in the shower for 56 minutes. but i only run the water for about 2. so i've already won this challenge as it is and challenge step into, i just want to give you enough conserving water in the shower. yes. but giving up the rooftop pool,

not so much more to own the poor shore if there is no other way. but that definitely reduces the attractiveness, can solve all but just as attractive you to it without a pull. it looks very don't is it is 0 dollar partial loan is beach. prominent is about a half hour away. it's mostly locals who come here this summer. they have to do without the beach showers. they've been shut off. a window in the beach is great, but the shower should be working so we can enjoy it even more the people that lo, maximum, the capital i'm authorities ordered the shut down. yeah, i have someone else in mind that they haven't worked for a few weeks, which is a bit annoying. go simple going going well. yeah. the regulations on this beach are strict. no water, not even for a quick footprint. we're setting that up. why do you need the

beach? it's really impression man, i'm going i'm covered in sans and can't get yourself and i have to go home like that. where you come most tourist. see none of this. they tend to stick to the center looking for a big city experience. so it's the locals, not the tourist, who have to do with our we need done team ask your guest at last. he grew up in barcelona and finds the situation unfair. so these tests consume altura is to use on average $3.00 to $5.00 times more water than barcelona resident. i even just convince the people here are unhappy because nothing ever changed. and that's like i'm, you know, it's in those vehicles and it was we have to cut back on water at home, you know, do you take it out of it? and they were even talking about rationing water in september under a little problem i could say. but they never confront the real problem. i know that

in summer the population doubles or triples with taurus, young, and water consumption, explode, consumer accessible, dante shows us as born an old town neighborhood, charming streets and no big hotels. but even here, there are now more tourists than logos. the doorbell spear numbers not names. the districts residents had been replaced by air b and b tourists who pay higher rent. exactly how many vacation is come is hard to say because many of the apartments are not officially registered, but there are more every year, and the water is even scarcer the most. and i'm what i thought, you know, you're not going to. and then we're asking for a moratorium on to risk numbers. we can have cruise ships continuing to come in those disciplines and a new airport runaway being built when there's not enough water in doubt. well, it has to be regulated to setup the site where that is. so during our tour we find

graffiti protesting over tourism. it seems dante is not alone and his wishes for locals. daily water consumption has been restricted since march and summer is far from over. the we are now on the way to the cell reservoir in catalonia, this reservoir provides drinking water for the entire region, including barcelona. the regions, water scare city is clearly visible here. this church was submerged when the dam was built in the 19 sixty's. now with the lack of rain it is re emerged home the motoring and front desk calling because i've come to see it. they played here at children before the dam was built. their childhood church has suddenly reappeared here. the window

open panel is that you must be when the reservoir is more than half. you can stand here, the water reaches higher than the tower status of it. so so let's say that you can only see the pure and the don't top of the tower. nothing more. so in other, most, just most of the old film for it shows how the reservoir is supposed to look the an incredible reunion. but one that also worries them when they leave it on they put the yeah, they must to the repeat the way to the feeling that you like to make it a little. i see a huge problem going from boss a loaner in the entire region depends on the drinking water from these reservoir. because these on this, if we go for another 5 or 6 months without rain, barcelona, and many other places are going to have the big problem in the living with the

south church and it's 23 meter tower ever disappeared below the water surface again, the in the beach dusta has come to the lake to talk with us. he operated a boat rental company until last year to appear where his boat stopped was right here. pushed 3 sir. so i'm sad to say say 3 sir. i'm in the service. see what a or then the almost but then it i, my gosh, there should be deck chairs here and umbrellas, federal people swimming. loud dogs running on the shore and on the boat sailing, i want someone should be coming back from water scape. i know that i just all the people should be sun bathing them. i know totally. i never say it sat in the long run and the life that was here is gone. love you that know the mileage guy in his table, then we stuff. enrique rented out a wide variety of boats and the business ran successfully for 24 years. but because

the reservoir was just 6 percent full this spring, the authorities informed him that voting was too dangerous. his business was not allowed to operate after so frustrating and you really feel powerless. and then thinking on the dns, if it's a name for them to you, instead of the authorities just tell you to do something else and you see, and they'll just like that without feeling c. c 3, i mean because they're still like they don't care about us, not the is going to see nothing unless you see it. on the leaving the lake, we see the current water level marked on the wall of the down. the reservoir is more than 20 meters below capacity. the that the model also depends on the cell reservoir. the town has just 39000

inhabitants, but a 1000000 tourists joined them every year, placing an enormous strain on the water supply, the party circuit tourists frequent the hotel, somebody like glen and johan from amsterdam. it's 2 in the afternoon and they were among the 1st here recovering from last night's party. the weather is nice. it's a nice hotel. girls are good. and just main is a beautiful country. to be honest. though joe has $434.00 rooms, but the real highlight is in the basement. layout of pet is the hotels environmental manager explains that this machine collects the tours shower water. you pass on the screen. the water goes through this filter where it's clean as part

of the glass, the drum unit, and then runs into a central tank where we treat it with fluoride. well, for sale, what the load on most a lot. welcome florida is. yeah, well then the clean water is come through these pipes back up into the apartments and read the fluids. the system was a novelty when it went into operation in 1998, they're still proud of it today. of the game is more so we still comp simply produce more time. so if we don't use a cassidy and treat it, we will eventually run out which was the name of the noise in the model. so i would only, i think i'm going to see our over 15 years, the hotel is saved, 215000000 leaders of fresh water by flushing the toilets with treaty. that is as much as 1000 families use any year was do water savings cannot interfere with

vacation fun? the pool is water level has been lowered by 20 centimeters, but no one here once to empty the pool, completely up to you. okay. you see that up, of course you can send people to the beach joining that to see that. but we don't have to close the pool because the water stays in a told. yeah. and it's filtered and coordinated regularly, but not refilled and applicant the almost month in the end of that calculation fails to include the many hundreds of leaders of water that evaporate from the pool every day. we will see this again and again on our trip. at the your, at the most city hall, we want to know whether voluntary water saving is enough or if a visual restrictions are needed. but the person in charge has no time for us today . the, the next morning he agrees to talk with us by a zoom kindly as he tells us that in the spring,

the cattle and regional government spends the filling of vacation home pools. yeah, yeah, yeah. we're just in the pool state mt. a nerves were afraid it was so extreme that people trying to feel that pools, we'd see water or to bring water with tank is from other countries from, from the basically, it's hard for the tourism sector. so imagine the season, stella thing, without water for the cool guy in the colors here. things are bad like that one is overkill. after all tourism isn't the biggest water consumer out there, the well and it's well known that agriculture consumes the most water in spain. right. so emissions should be taken to basically use water resources and not only in tourism,

but in agriculture to single already. yeah, well we want to take a 1st 10 look at agricultural water use. we leave catalonia on the high speed train found to the province of olivia. as we travel, the landscape becomes noticeably dryer. the world's largest collection of green houses is here in one of europe's dries regions, each year, more than 2 and a half 1000000 tons of produce o grown here. under plastic groups covering some 40000 hector's, for exports throughout europe. ever deeper wells have to be dug to keep this massive project going. in some places the ground water is already fallen below sea level and the sea of plastic continues to spread. mine with my thought is a photographer. here is favorite subject is as many as natural beauty.

you may say, you may think for the, for the i made, my name is a photography here. i was here in a couple, i can express my creativity in nature. i'm on, i love this place. okay. well, you've seen the photos, it's amazing about them headed out a way to unlock them as the from not by com. manuel is printed his best photos on magnets, which he sells to towards the jobs. at least he tries to. but it's not that easy. deterred by the nearby plastic green houses, few tourists come to the region. the plastic protects the plants from wind and the precious water from evaporation. but sometimes the wind dislodges the giant plastic tops, blowing them across the land. i'm all kind of on the planet we killing the planet, destroying everything, nothing more than we have no regard for anything but coffins. as in a, you know,

manuel is using his photography to draw attention to the problem. anything he has placed vacationers on piles of trash to show that and that he is driving off potential tourist. get this 13 again, nice and things in the context. obviously with people complaining that things aren't being done wrong season to enough to raise awareness. you have to do something special, no laptop, all going to feed. some 60000 people here rely on greenhouse funding for their living. so manuel is almost alone in his battle against plastic. almost in the middle of this hot, dry sea of plastics, we discovered a small oasis, planting everything himself. and with sanchez, ro, place has created up a time and go. i would like to put a line next to see how this grew out of the need for a refuge in this arid environment and installed in the audi. though the idea was to

create a beautiful place and a waste is and the dryness of the in the see of plastic though this a lot of the plastic though, you can have a place that is fresh for my beautiful picking of it and offers the homes in need of plants and animals, and i tried to add up the trees and palms provide natural protection from the strong winds. new need for plastic sheets. the plants also help retain moisture in the garden. it's 5 degrees cooler here than outside. so watering needs are greatly reduced to a property of the sinew, elaborate of the uh, the arrangement of plants and combining different species with well thought out here again. and methods keep water consumption lower. yeah. typically the normal agricultural land, such as a metal with grass, is that it needs about 2 and a half to $3000.00 leaders of water per year for me to find another. yeah, i knew we only use about a 3rd of the or the lead school towards the rose garden when every

can forest also come by from time to time. but mind with garden is still an insider tip. we leave the small paradise and travel further south. our destination is a much larger nature preserve. it's also surrounded by green houses that consume too much water. don yanna, national park is of $54000.00 hector nature, preserve, and a refuge for endangered bird species and wild horses. until recently, the dawn yanna was spain's most important westland, but now it's threatening to buy agriculture. one romero and environmental list with the ecologists in action tells us there are industrial strawberry plantations inside. they need to preserve minutes to get out in order for them to come on the filter on an order from

a we here right here. and this whole area is strawberry plantations. are looking at some legal, some know, so like if i look on below, like i like i live, it is either like a one shows us the legal plantations. it's up for you at the top of the hill. see how the farm has taken over these pine woods, left and right now that i take it, the water for the strawberries comes from illegal wells. one wants to show us one i see on file you. we have to film very quickly because the farmers were siphoning off the water could appear at any moment. so when we arrive, we see a massive break. well, how can the authorities not know about this to okay, is it the postal worker? like, why did these wells exist valid? i'm guessing because the administration has allowed them to be built activity. i might because agriculture is the biggest industry not anymore. and it,

when i get the more of them, at least one brings in more than 1500000000 euros. and just for the 5, don't yanna communities as a new 1500000000 is a lot of money where nobody here questions these kind of agriculture, with killer, it came with a low. i mean, there are hundreds of such wells pumping out the ground water and drying out the don't. yanna preserve. one is one of the few keeps drawing your attention to it. so he has many enemies among the farmers, the open, you know, they go to the thing i deal with a colleague in ecologists and action has been threatened, they transferred him to work somewhere else because of it personally, i'm not afraid. i believe the truth will set us free to go through a little bit because i'm leaving the strawberries and blueberries grown here, end up in german and other european supermarkets. one wants to show us just how

much water they need, that i'm who go in there. but i use suppose to ask the mission thing, but they don't want to be feeling, they get the nature of it and will get it figured out. but if we go along here where they can see it so you can feel, i can see it by quick. and we'll get out here and have a quick look around. i did have a high level ha, 8 by my bad football. the legally pumped water comes to this pond where it's distributed to the surrounding field. one prefers to stay by the car. he seems nervous, but also angry. to get those like on the they take the was without the meter for free on the not even the administration knows how much water they take this. the rooming effect on the i wonder, was having a little bit mean the

don't you know, national parks main lagoon still has water. many flamingoes have settled here, but one is very worried. the, the, the heart of the don't yana is back then. it's already completely dry. well, i knew for the last 4 years, only 1520 percent has been flooded. and most of our new good in the last 2 years, the don't yanna has gone from a whitland to a dry land wednesday. we'll figure it out here. the goon still looks he. dick conservation is like one aren't the only ones drawn to it. every year. $400000.00 visitors come to see the preserve and to provide a living for hundreds of locals. when sending him, i have come from valencia with their daughters for a guided tour. why? yes, it must be the gay. they're ready. i mostly wanted to see it before it suffers any more damage on you. and they look especially for the book as, as the and because it's getting worse and worse. my little and i know the drawer

begins. the 1st stop is just around the corner. manuel shows them the flamingos galactic. so bad. we can take a picture of the little get some of you, and a lot of you can put your phone up to the lin maureen out. and is that a copy of such snapshots make great souvenirs, maria and her sister are thrills. cool. cool. of us having to figure out when i was a kid, i thought flamingoes couldn't fly a little business that they could only run with their long legs. oh yes. what it is . we had deep into the park with the i barry and links and wild horses. well, we are not allowed to take the camera because the end illusion regional government has not permitted us to film. perhaps because they do not want to publicize this

satellite images show clearly how much the area has already dried out. the state we drive to a campsite about 10 minutes away where we meet, but tina from the book. she's camping and her pop top fan in 38 degree weather. how can she stand it? that's how i talked of else class. i'm not kids on to mark. ringback for saw now how does that? yes, i just said just open and hungry sheets here with magnets, scar, the ventilation was great. i even took the sleeping back out of the 10 to 4 or so because i was told to, oh, without air conditioning. the pool is right next to her camping spot. tourists are made to feel comfortable here too. but tina knows how skiffs the water is in the nearby park. but at the same time, she enjoys cooling off, especially now in the mid day sun does is address these. i mean, of course,

i'm bitterly about it. i go um, what is for next? i must admit to put is nice, don't publish it to atlanta. appreciate you. all the ones that i really needed to see is me in the in that is but the sea is a trick from here. in the afternoon, she sets off to hike the dunes without a tour guide the. the temperature is still well over 30 degrees. even the lizards are taking cover the 1st step is, i'm afraid it's quite a long way to, i don't know if i'm reading up for that the view from up there is supposed to be tremendous. vast swabs of untouched nature. but the hike

through the hot sand is tough. after a good hour with team that has finally made it. and how's the video? what's good for me? i like it to lot. i'm 100 percent. hi. it's just a bit houghton to lots of up here that oh no, my strong point by it is the somebody's potential, but great view. beautiful nature. quiet. wonderful. now a window box, the him of and sent him. their daughters have returned from their tour and are ending the evening with a beer. the better. yes. here i say it was wonderful to fantastic. really good animals. did we see that the cows in kite?

hm. my gosh. this is hear me. let me know if it must go to the phone, then i would hope to see a link spot, you know, lot of friends and, but we'll come back to see it all again. but look at it, they still have their photos as souvenirs on. so you can clearly see how drive they've done. yanna has become the next morning. we visit the much less can use towards the resort. it's like another world, you would never know that the national park and it's water crisis are only 20 minutes away. here it's all about recreation and vacation fund.

the showers on the beach are working on like in barcelona. the resort was 1st built in the 19 seventy's and now extends to the national parks buffer zone. biologist, carmen vios upon yaga is researching the developments effects on the park. your practice? i get your kid. there's a lot of talk about how much water the farmers use, but there is no effort to reduce the water consumption model less kinda yes, but uh if it will see if it. but it's important to the name of the beach visitors should know him for can take it so much. water is consumed here without people understanding what it means for the national park. because while they are watching is having an effect to getting into the research that shows us that much less gun yes gets most of its water from 3 springs, the water of which is actually crucial for the good mean end the us, when i look back, i feel like crying because he just drawing up though,

is there any that are you named best seal? that's why i'm so discouraged. give us a to time, but we have to make people aware of the problem. can you can and try to find a solution. i can think as soon as you know, it's almost as you would like to see a different approach depending on the family when he thought that i'd like to see a completely sustainable complex called a continuation of the dunes and i phone not hotel blocks with big swimming goals and the lawn and i hope you seen them, but people don't think that way. it happens how often. so interest is collide ciocca. tourism is one of spring's most important economic drivers and spain wants to keep it that way. that's one reason to make sure tourists feel the water shortage as little as possible. the, the. what about the water scarcity problem in the interior? we've heard about audio tourism holiday trips centered around the office. for this

we go to hiring one of the largest olive growing regions in the world. they also market themselves to tourist hello right. today, a tour group from the u. s. has come to see the olive groves manuel he maintenance molina owns the plantation. he conducts tours in addition to being a farmer, he also tries to raise awareness about conservation. he is convinced that everyone should cut back on water use for them to knock it out when i go stuck with water consumption. bombing has only one option left hardware, but we must find techniques that require less fulsome, got affordable. at the same time, we have to get tours to use less more to our dunbar. he chose visitors all about the all of why we have pick. well, what about black all of the see the black under the green pipes?

oh i, we go black with the maternity to face the skin you're thought to go from green. the green start to go to large green pine through zillow, wish, color, lab typo color. and black, these nets are spread on the ground at harvest time. now visitors can try their hand at knocking the olives out of the treatment soto only. i'm what i'm getting some down. look at that. i could be a real worker here. look at this. so it does yes, it's very interesting. it's something i wouldn't normally do. it's 42 degrees today. even the olive trees are suffering and must be watered. though

the trees famously require very little water. the droughts in spain had been growing increasingly severe for years. stressed by the heat, the trees develop far fewer olives, the trees may survive, but the harvest greatly decreases from the market and i figured we would have to sell the olive oil at 4 times the price. so the answer is yes, you could survive with us, but the consumer would have to pay for all the boil as the for a luxury product for the large irrigation basins are now needed to supply the plantations. ground water is pumped up to fill them, but even this is becoming increasingly difficult. the levels and some wells have already dropped by 100 meters. after the tour, manuel shop offers polio tourist a wide variety of olive based products, oils,

chocolate and cosmetics. the whole region lives from marketing, olives, cosmetic products in particular, are used to attract tourists to the region. in the bottom, the auto sun on 3 spa hotel, olive based massage oil is the most widely used products built in the same is famous for its olive oil. it moist since the skin better than other creams. the hens like better. it's very pleasant both for the customers and some of the of the olive draws many spot tourists to the range to bring great. i really enjoyed it very relax. daniel. after the massage dip in the hotel pool is particularly tempting for tourists in the countries

interior. but at temperatures well above 40 degrees, up to 5000 leaders of water evaporate here in a single day. water that can be put to good agricultural use. the during the night of thunderstorm brings a brief respite. it's actually reading for the 1st time and weeks but after 15 minutes it's all over the we continue to my be a destination for a well healed tourists with high standards. howard the dealing with the water shortage here, the beach hours, all working official figures with 10700 pools and the city. but the cost that of

sold is best known for its golf courses. the we need conservation is tabio. they luis on mount is the where he explains the problem with golf courses. the model. yeah. think even do. there are 22 golf courses and by the way. yeah. and 50 and all of monica province. that's one . that's one of the driest zones and the and see i could delete almost one. i just want if we had enough water resources, there would likely be no conflict with the golf course. is it going on income? but there is very little water here. i found that says i, we forgot what he criticizes, a lack of awareness, that water must be conserved here. so you just companies that want to stay for the golf course is only used treated water when they would be different,

but some of the that but they consume a huge amount of drinking water, which is actually need it by the vailable and for momentum. the golf hotels association wants to show us a model project the think that quite the scene one of the most luxurious golf hotels on the cost that does so while other golf courses are fined for a legal watering, everything here is set to be exemplary. we meet ignacio soto the greens keeper here. we have an adult video right now and it's paint. and when you see a local a, the screen very agreeing well to, well, you think you're doing about things. but this said the opposite. i mean, we aren't, we're using the water from the house system from the villages. only treated water is used here and especially hardy grass has been planted as well. probably that that me now the phone. i don't want to come by one call but

a settling. some goals causes use very delicate gras. seen some areas like the green. this is daniel the come but at the more lovely. but we use a more sustainable home climate garage that's not home to buy the trees. it was to you to buy. they clean mcalisio it good. i wanted to see the while not really very happy with the fist. i'm all going to come to tell them we're going to and the ball has to roll with little resistance on the green. at least a new body to which is the author of the war. but to me that the us ignacio is proud of the new grass. so you have a look is very, very seeing a very tiny very strong as we cannot ask the golf as how they likes the new grass. a club room forbids us from speaking to them but ignacio sees no problem with

watering the golf courses as long as it's done with reclaimed water. i'll say that we need mall golf courses. i'm more area to build the, the water on, on, on the place because site itself is a genetic thing too much water and this increasing i can use that's my to say one i should reuse unless you want me to because otherwise it goes to the sea which is not very good, is the water that the golf course is? don't use just emptied into the sea to find out we visited a plan to me on my be here. wastewater is treated for reuse the from here it is distributed to the 20 golf course is connected to the treatment plan inside of whatever some 25000000 liters per day. and at the end of the tour, our guide confirms that any leftover water ends up in the sea. yeah. aside from

what the gulf coast is, use the water that goes into the same company. that was what have you had they louise? this is a real scandal. the environmental this says the water could be used for agriculture or drinking instead of for golf courses. nobody middle, uh, i can me what obviously we need to improve the water treatment quality. what i see on this a ssl was going elsewhere like in las vegas. such water is even used for drinking. so i'll do some part of it. that's what went on, let's me go see them. i just thought from his pain is still a long way off from that. but i much a full 1st cavity i get. there are many different sectors that could be completely supplied with this purified water. going to see why they put out a as if the water were actually treated to a higher quality than strawberries and tomatoes could be irrigated here. and not just the bermuda grass. an hours drive further north shows us help urgently such

a change is needed. the wind through the page of the doing is to try is place on our journey the vis used to be a haven for flamingoes, but few of them are left now. the westland has dried up before but never as badly as it has now. the so you think it is from this has become a desert. neutral still knows what type of the can i ask whom we can look away. but it's obviously a little bit of those. he had the best case now it's and maybe that's in a still heavier louise. see some hope in this catastrophe of last week, yet that mean a single umbrella? the drought is both a problem and an opportunity have to fill out by whom nobody got it will force the politicians to ag goes to 50. i. they told me that mom or something we have to reduce water use in agriculture and tourism. if we are to survive by having these actually, i mean you that the but time like water

is running out the into the conflict. so with sim sebastian sauce, you may need to talk to many of stuff is awesome. my guess this week is do we have to see how does it does this today? we may have no idea how complex in 30 minutes on the w, the

sometimes a seed is all you need to allow big ideas to grow or bring an environmental conservation to life 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 man the

. this is dw dues live from berlin tonight, her moss and the hospital. israel says its forces have entered garza's biggest hospital, the doctor sharing these images and conditions inside the i'll she, the hospital. as israel carried out, what it said was a targeted operation against her most military. also it coming off their loved ones being held hostage by how boss, so they are marching across israel, keeping up the pressure on the government to bring the hostages home. and the leaders of the us and china are due to meeting.
