4:30 am
of the treasure map for martin club to discuss some of us regular bragging sites on youtube and also the and there is no denying dates offline. it's an irish and off the top of other words, people are facing extreme weather conditions. how can we better protect ourselves in the future? that's what we'll be exploring in this specialization of echo oper cost um crystal . i'm calling to you from a very, with a cry in gunner. and i am sandra 3. nobody. all right, to income prolong uganda. thank you. for joining us once again,
4:31 am
whether you live in africa or in you, in a city or a funding community, when the rains don't come, it brings up fees on the shortage on drinking water bottle. they are some solutions which is what we've got for you in the show today. we meet the people talking to ation. we want to resolve in so that we find out how to make the most on the drought loving comfortable. and we see how you of the guest this sunday nation planned aims to point this song, stop by a 1st rate, bold texas doing a read crisis redid region. so done. what is the ongoing conflict is wearing the people down, especially in the capital cost to it is the waves of drought that are really taking the tools on the population equal africa venture deep into the northern. so done to
4:32 am
learn more about a centuries old, underground treasure trove, the people that are determined to piss off for the, for the most to go in so done, the more audi gets hundreds of keeps telling me to as of the day that it is not to believe, but beneath the sun is a huge reese of a 4th to stretching from egypt for so done to chat and libya called the new bmw sunstone. uncle fy. it was discovered during the i'd really in the 1950s you'll just of the omar has been starting the uncle for, for 20 years. in some places. it's what to live close to the surface. omar opened up the sourcing of the region during the test reading 2004 and woke i, somebody i have in the northern location, the depth of the 60 meters or less. can you imagine parity one irrigation system that can irritate 50 heck, because the that's unique and it indicates the powerful flow the reservoir and the
4:33 am
order mother for them has done a goofy look hole really just such as a hi sure, have benefited most super salt as discovery 20 years ago, they have hot regular access to water. almost like up to have fees side of mid the most of it. he owns fuels covering several hundreds hector's and can grow a wide range of fruits and vegetables from fava beans to soak them. and i'll follow the dcf is mainly grown wheat lane is the same language culture the will to should be nice to properly you as one is more than once you find that. i mean, if you, you asked advance method. so you have new technology used by more to it can be say you would be a little bit of trouble. tiffany: but if you use the traditional method, if you it can see much more about it. so what have been run the or how? yeah, just the fewest and i'll do for fee so you can either get his fuels regularly thanks
4:34 am
to the wells he has built over the years. it's source cost him the equivalent of 450 years. but after that, the village of the farmers get the water for free. for the new gbi in sunstone, upper flat is the was largest false in what every silver means. but what to accumulate said he, hundreds of thousands of years ago and became chopped underground by the uncle funds. what the results are finite was some areas of a very low retail rate. others have not told some research as think the uncle fund could last. another 200 years, but that is near the site teen nor easy to a long time transitional agreements. and are you in project a to insure what i use use fairly and sustainably. so dense government to create a new law on what to use in 2022 of us seen by the minutes, feel free to get in and watch our resources. so far they have built that to you at small was for the public, and 6 deep was for research purposes. and i think it was
4:35 am
a good fit and i'm going to dress up. oh wow, what we'll see then you don't need the possibility of weed production in the nose and then rely on that day. that's the cost of them. i don't think we'd actually value. and then we found out that we can grow more than $210000.00 take to is always in some areas we're using the water of the aquifer. i mean that without causing the drop in water levels to impact time. yeah. because i have to buy out that that's what i thought of to know the huge amounts of what just told you that uncle 5 has not been measurably depleted. nevertheless, the regions population is growing in size, and the numbers of farmers and head as to geologist, abdullah on their regularly visit the villages in the northern states to money tell what to use through the electronic devices that spread out over the entire nose and state of that are intended to monitor the changes occurring in the water level and you will see
4:36 am
increasing the certification link to climate change means what is more important than ever in this region. if the forcing water from the huge jungle flow is used wisely, it could help humans on any most of 5 here. some places have been dry full as long as we can remember, but they on the other places a getting dry of binds the. the was climate is changing rapidly because of human activity. such is binding on on, on the full so few o it's on the for many people it is hard to adopt has to do with 5 failed rainy seasons, nearly 2 years of decimated livestock failed crops. and famine, a seemingly endless drought has good parts of east africa, pushing tens of millions of people and to assure monitoring crisis. the shepherd from the somali region of 50 of you pleaded for help earlier this year was
4:37 am
a hold of the people's lives are in danger. the majority of people have left the village because of starvation and those that remain here, i have nothing. i will. so how can i help the school? a lot of yeah, do you have co ha, xtreme, weather events like the stroud have always existed, but they haven't always happened this frequently or this intensely. scientists from different countries collaborated on an attribution study. the found human induced climate change is a pleasure in the horn of africa. it made conditions, especially hot and especially dry. we found the best adult in east africa as the med exceptionally by time of change. so basically what we're saying is with the climate change, that's kind that the mug me through the woods. the cod many parts of the world are already at risk of drought, but the kind of crisis is increasing this risk in some regions, such as england, where a river in one of its widest regions has run dry and some parts, or taiwan,
4:38 am
where been blue cross or dwindling or the western us, which has battled a mega drought for 20 years. but how exactly does this happen? when we burn fossil fuels? we released greenhouse gases, but heat or atlas here that wreaks havoc when it comes to our weather patterns. it makes higher temperatures, more likely all over the world. this month was the 1st time june. temperatures went up more than 1.5 degrees celsius compared to pre industrial levels. that's the limit. many countries have pledge not to surpassed because it creates the optimal conditions for disasters like droughts is warmer temperatures typically mean greater kind of or basically a thursday or atmosphere, more of aspiration from the surface and the dryer conditions and soils and reservoirs. climate change can also affect rainfall. some regions may see less precipitation. others make up more, but instead of having it fault even leave throughout the year, these regions may experience short and frequent birth of heavy rain. that's what
4:39 am
this means is that you basically get these kind of dryer periods between rape. all events of allows for a longer period for the soils to drive down. and that can also increase a drought risk in severity. when i draw the strike, it can last weeks, months or even years, and that can become expensive. quickly. droughts have cost the global economy, tens of billions of us dollars over the past decades. one water intensive sector that is especially affected as agriculture. when crops fail, the effects can range from rising food prices to math assignments. drugs can also affect the water supply for urban populations for their plumbing and electricity. in 2018 reserves and the south african city of cape town were so low that there were fears the city could run out of water altogether, a so called a 0. these types of conditions can erase people's entire livelihoods. a situation many as you can, shepherds are currently struggling with how much i do. i don't know how to do anything other than being
4:40 am
a nomadic shepherd. i'm not educated and i don't know how to find that. this is the only way i know how to survive. in somali, the shepherd's native language, the drought is called fema. that means equal because drought said everyone equally . but what climate experts, stress is that some communities have fewer resources to adopt that if we continue business as usual, if we don't realize that's actually we are harming all planets, we are having the most vulnerable people. and it's up to top looters to make sure the chrysler select these don't become even more likely war to just one more amazing thing the author provide for us. as long as we use it offensively bunch, even areas where the res, very lead to water. some life is able to strive, we want to look on one particular plant that could prove surprisingly useful to us . no doubt you guessed it. if not,
4:41 am
this week's doing debate will give you the onset and a whole lot more. that seems like prickly and spreading everywhere. the cactus has few friends in summit goal. one exception is malik sonya. the young scientist and ecologist count gets enough of the spiky supplements, which he says full of potential. when the soul in his village of camella became celebrated, all the prompts died except the comp time that's when sonya came up with the idea of doing something with them. they're pretty good. thank you. what was it? i sealed a few samples and containers down the middle. we'll develop that 24 hours. i realized that the cactus was able to produce the gas as it is. so i thought i would try to come up with the production method that would utilize the catalyst for i agree moment energy about 100 environmental purposes. is that everyone to me?
4:42 am
is that and is it the most? yeah. is that i would. and sonya grays, different types of cheese on a small experimental fun of to help us thing that crushed to make clean energy and a bio gas pump. the solids and liquids messaging us. i used to work on it fast. eliza. the test it says active nest. he's trying out her mate biased by saliva on his own field. ready it's out, but it contributes to the restoration of the plants by capturing organic elements that are converted into mineral elements. but i mean that's causing you to buy a guess from conk twice. ok, i don't panic stuff, eliza, to improve products. metrics on this concept is tailored to small farmers and remote regions. he wants to pump to heck tests and instead of just the miller. so his cock, this innovation project seeing. and that's just the beginning. and how about you? if you're also doing your bit, tell us about it, visit our website,
4:43 am
or send us a tweet. hash tag doing your bit. we share your story. it's not just cock, this is the cope well in drawing so many legions like chick fees a will. so drilled resistance, but that's not only the attractive quality here in africa. we have a lot of experience. we've extended dry spills. bump in you. it is something new. that's right, sandra finances on some fire in from near the german cup 2 little bro lane had no stop to the experimental cultivation of what to known as like julian, those plans and the results look promising. these farmers, sa,
4:44 am
preparing chick p seats for selling the plant is not native to central european soils. they need to advise that will be a bacteria to help it convert nitrogen from the which reduces the need for such a long as the farmers hope. the simple tweak will allow them to grow more of the sustainable protein which plants from the lake you family. by the 20th much the product such as a broad beans or peas, which are native here. the bacteria are already present to miss swell. but with soybeans and chick peas. yeah, the bacterial strain doesn't exist here yet. between them is like humans which also include lentils, peanuts, alfalfa, and clover, stand out in the plans well for being able to produce their own fertilizer with the aid of those special bacteria. that's why in europe, crops like peas and beans were long a favorite with farmers as they actively improve sort of quality rather than leaching out nutrients. so these chick peas are grown without onto visual
4:45 am
fertilizes, which are energy and emissions intensive to produce a plus if all goes well, the fonts can also do without artificial irrigation. the chick, the plant evolved in middle eastern climates and can get by with little rainfall. because the ones the off time, so we try to plant them around 2 and a half centimeters, deep and moist, occurs to get the germination process going to. and the advantage of this variety is that it loves drysdale oil. that's fucking leavings. chick pays on grow much here in germany. the thought to change in future as human induced climate change is causing hot and dry weather. there's an email so so we're looking for leg rooms that we can easily market. i can come and ones that are more heat and drug resistant, and broad beans are peaceable in order to food absa on those. and that's how we
4:46 am
arrived at the chick pee and comes and gets got a lot of uses. and it's nutritious. what and what better way to prove that point them with the trip to the village restaurant for lunch. on the menu today, chick p. curry with local classic asparagus. first, the chef brings out the an appetizer. freshly baked bread with homeless made using chick pays from found how to fund a month. it says from perfect, perfect, wonderful. the locally slowest restaurant hopes to feature chick these on these menu more often in the future. and a few kilometers away. the next harvest is already sprouting. won't tell you what is the below the surface. we can already see the 1st roots. moments of acting is a crop scientist at the live minutes center for agricultural landscape research.
4:47 am
his team is acutely interested in the chick piece here. legal mean northern lights, so we want to find out if leg goodness can help make agriculture more sustainable and adaptable to climate change and whether they can also have a positive influence on climate change so that it's less extreme. so climate protection, in fact muscles, in fact chick peas and other legumes can contribute so much nitrogen to the soil, thanks to the bacteria on the root nodules that even the next plants growing on the field will benefit. as a result, future crops could need little to no artificial fertilizer. like humans around the cro, known about 2 percent of gym and crop land. in recent decades, cold grain and rape, see to become so widespread. the many like items are imported above all. so it
4:48 am
means that state of mind is the one that's best trust inductance. i'd love to see like humans cultivated on the say, 10 percent of the airable land here. i'm gonna have to deal with that. but of course, only if it's economically viable for the farmers of subsidies, and there was a market for it and one in rolanda, for example. the beans are growing on a large scale because they're a staple food and feature in almost every dish and on for on even with the advice of chrome system, scientists from the agricultural research center. it's proving a challenge for the farm run by band, how to fund them of it's that he's still trying to sell the organic chick pays from his 1st 3 years of cultivation and have him come from what i'm doing. that's like it's not me. it's not easy to shift this stuff right now and we surprised just isn't what we need to break even with it. but it's pioneering work doing. yeah, but we know that we also see is creating
4:49 am
a sustainable value chain. is something elizabeth bailey whole knows a lot about you. her id or southern future, approaching mich crops, will not only be grown here, but also cleaned packaged and sold. and to enable, it makes total sense from the nutritional standpoint. if you're able to cut down on meats on an increase plump production, stagen, listen, the task is does have to be smooth. that's why, really again, as a regional, sustainable source of protein comes in the t. yeah. it's growing where it's needed and will be a great solution. and of course i have to go. there's only one person already counting on chick peas. is amelia big? now, a few years ago, she founded her own chick piece next company in the eastern german city of lab session. she says she's glad to a found a time in front of the business model. which filled out all that came of under the climate change, often lease my feeling helpless and becomes a movie with a here is how awful everything's going to be forced by the school and you really
4:50 am
get any specific ideas. the solutions that's this one does have yes, i found something with my business where i feel confident that i'm on the right path van, i am promoting a group of sense that has the potential to counteract climate change and being the next spot you of crunchy climate friendly chick peas is sent on its way to a big gym and supermarket chain and media big. and it's also hoping that dr. mine for over i tease of like you and will catch on in gemini, and the pharmacy will be able to sustain that be trans fullness fields while the time is right. me. those next loop taste the i'd like to try them myself. and we just heard, like you don't need lots of water for the do need some. oh we do have plenty. just think of our oceans. 97 percent of both the water is all sees. well,
4:51 am
the salt content mix it on usable for human animals and most plants and it's not true stage, but there is a solution. europe lodges to solve nation plans in spain and due to drought, best. yeah. it's running around this lot. extreme heat and droughts do not the people in cities respecting major population centers like to contest lunches, staging, tokyo cape town and boss alona and to cities located by the c. one solution that especially promising selling ation the selling ation, this combination of catalonia, in ne, spain, is one area in europe where climate change is getting hot. the region is in the grid of a 3 year drought. rest of why is that supply? the city of bonds, a loaner are only one quote to a full use ortiz, a rationing the waters, the industry. and i will quote you,
4:52 am
but also for local residents and to raise ah, you know, i'm, it wasn't shot because like it stores the city and everybody come here to have fun, but there is no ortho. so it's kind of disappointed to find that residents of bonds, so oh, no, still have drinking water to a tool is punk scene punch to the sun. a nation of see what will to the plant email, but that stay open to god is the knowledge just in your outcome of the maximum capacity. you know, a 180000 cubic meters of water per day, which we can sustain for as long as necessary. and that would be able so just to see what was the is heated up, salt has a very high boiling point. well, water already of operate at a 100 degrees celsius. as the water vapor is flows through a series of membranes into high pressure in order to filter out the salt
4:53 am
things to it, sufficient renewable energy technology. you'll play, god can seems 25 percent less power than other plans to get signs but even then decent a nation is still extremely energy intensive and expensive on the left of the water as a lot of salt and pollutants that need disposing of in barcelona. it's simply gets pumped back out to sea, not far off the coast. so now we're seeing more plants saying why there are other solutions. i'm so so in my opinion, you should use discrimination only for the very, very crush of me. it's like bringing bought up to the pollution and the thing on the medium of what the should because there are other sources of law. what's her you can use other sources. oh, other methods, you know, type of 2017 years of drought, a trunk water levels in cape town,
4:54 am
the rest of was to below 10 percent. the region was set to run out of water in 5 months. due to the authorities to this building decided, nation puns. but they chose a different solution. residents were told to drastically couch them will to consumption, no one from a showering more than twice a week. and the topic has to save as if your life depends on the city also invested in better wastewater treatment plants. today, the guns are well filled and disaster has been evicted. now, meanwhile, in barcelona to choose and likewise changing. we cannot say, okay, we're going to be the disadvantage of 2 feet, a, d, a d looked at that and supposedly 20 medium stories plus whatever that we've got you on the industry, just with the 70 make sure that's that's, that's what that, what about the work catalonia is now also looking to reduce its will to usage
4:55 am
a recent studies. so hotels alone can seem 12 percent of the available drinking water. bottle alone is to risk, will also have to learn to use less because in the end will to it is not for fun. but for us, the vital of personalization has come to us. and i hope we've given you a few good ideas, both ways to adapt to climate change so long for me, for so low and across. gone. see you next week, sometime, some place until then do stay and thoughts visiting all social media channels. for now, i am sandra 3, nobody from comp hello, frontier. in uganda. it's the
4:56 am
4:57 am
provide as a move on to fish, a light sources on 10 nights. and today get the increase in pricing. this is main thing with me to is inherent cannot quite with dramatic impacts on biodiversity. the can we come, can't talk my time and 15 minutes on the w rainbow branding, it's definitely trending. but not all companies are serious about their support.
4:58 am
some companies can face harsh criticism brands today, the brace friction, they've gone up against the criticism, but this stood for something in the end of actually one great deal of brand loyalty from the next generation made in germany in 90 minutes on d w, the little guys this is the 77 percent of the platform offices youth issues share id and you know, on this channel we're not afraid to pass. and then he did talk to the young people clearly have the solution, the future of this 77 percent every weekend on dw,
4:59 am
so either insane, and do the same way you expect and more different things from life than your parents. i just want to pursue was that's my thought desired or you think your kid is 2 different, risky, irresponsible, reasonable stop in port is not i want my son to become a doctor still in the cloud. it's time to, to get in your generation with a sleep asked and then when generations flash starts january 14th on dw, of this kind of fun. it feels like therapy, the
5:00 am
. this is dw news line from berlin. he was urges israel to plan for peace with the palestinians. he was secretary of state anthony blink and warrens. the daily total of war and civilians and gaza is far too high. he says air of nations want relations with israel only when a path to a palestinian state is clear and ecuador threatens to sink enterprises. the president declares war on drug gangs, boost after a wave of violence include the storming of a police station and the king of multiple police officers and we've.
