for example, around the sandwich in temple only 20 kilometer south of bangkok. the ocean moved to the land, the last 50 years. so the local people need to move to house. drainage systems are also hitting their limits like here in berlin. heavy rainfall overwhelmed the infrastructure, leaving it unable to handle the massive volumes of water. this causes basements, low lying building entrances, and subway tunnels to flood engineer come and zika from berlin, city, water management, design, so called decentralized rainwater management. like most cities, berlin has a sewer system, but it can't always cope. event is expand looking agnes attack because heavy rainfall has increased. the waste water systems can no longer drain that volume of water from i. volcanic map light warned us compton and quincy and that's when you get over a flyer on a lease that's own aba i'll and large volumes of surface run of water the collect and lower lying areas in banking, dash baptism in to help tackle the problem. berlin aims to become a sponge city. the idea is to capture rainwater, li

from bangkok to berlin flood waters, no no borders. my mind and my balance, i feel always think of belin is being flat tongue, but when the city experiences heavy rainfall, if the ground that gets lightest, a meter can fill up with 50 or 60 centimeters of water underground spaces got flooded. hello, i'm old thailand's capital city, bangkok has been hit especially hard by climate change. the city is only one meter above sea level, which keeps rising at a rate of 5 millimeters per year. scientists predict that the city could be under water by the year 2050 alex face is a graffiti artist and parent who's worried about the future of his home. and building my house right now. i spent a lot of money to building my house. i'm always thinking in ha, okay, one day i wasn't gonna be under the see anyway. and somebody was saying in a happen in very soon in it next 10 years. some stretches of land have already started sinking. for example, around the sandwich in temple only 20 kilometer south of bangkok. the ocean moved to the land, the last 50 ye

back in bangkok, the city also wants to tackle flooding with green rooftops. like in berlin, it helps to use them for temporary water storage. so the rainwater can be put to good use. that's just one of many ways to give nature a chance in concrete jungles. more importantly, it's an attempt to prevent catastrophic flooding in the future. i think we can do that, but we need to when everyone les hey, wake up and see what going to happen and we need to fix it to get plastic bottles can either help or hinder our efforts to be better to our environment. when rubbish is dumped in the ocean, plastic waste can hang around for decades causing harm to marine life. but when recycled bottles can get a new lease on life becoming fresh new bottles, all making their way into everything from packaging to park benches. but how does a mere bottle become something new? and how is industry innovation transforming that process? christian practice has the answer around the world. mountains of rubbish piling up . plastic waste is especially bad for the environment because it doesn't
