Morning it is the same battle for voters for the residents of this district of south delhi with no reliable source of it from the. Residents of not. Have to line up every morning to get water from tankers like this one to meet their daily needs. It is a frantic scene every day i see people bush and each other through their guns ahead of daniel sometimes. They panic is almost over. Some mornings there are so many people you would think that is not fair on everyone is struggling to feel cans not arguments fights even accidents one days are one biggest problem. They would fix traps you know a lot of houses just like they had. Electricity. The dunker drives off leaving the people to make do with whatever water they have managed to collect for the rest of the day. Delhi jumbo the Agency Responsible for supplying water to the city struggles constantly to keep up the. New. Problem in the lead today is the clean water a lot of work has gone into cleaning efforts etc there is. To address the issue of making more water and evelyn with. Some is taking place rapidly and with it their demand for water is rising just as fast. These river provide beyond the complex problem of water supply in the city. At the site invest delhi the delhi jumbo jets installed and the number to create. And transforms it into Drinking Water. Using a natural process. The blonde is part of the environmental startup absolute water and the technology was created by the father daughter of smith and sunil single. This whole idea came about is also because i have seen in my own home where the switch lying and Drinking Water supply normally gets mixed up specially so at that point of time it is you know it was it was crazy i mean you could smell it being. Having stomach issues you were having infections and all that kind of stuff so it was about what. I have seen kids being installed. You know its quite disheartening to watch so thats where basically the whole concept came about. In 2015 delhi was ranked 2nd in the list of the 20 largest cities in the world experiencing water stress where Water Resources are insufficient for the citys needs water access it remains a glaring problem for the government but manoj mishra an activist who had to spend a lifetime working to conserve the river insists the problem is not just availability. There live for us. Is oversupplied as far as water response. Is anywhere in the world does not get. Its. But yes there is a crisis situation situation because not every part of delhi gets. Enough water and thats again a management issue. This is the knowledge of good rain it used to be known as the siberia of back in the days when it gutted grain water into the yemenite of often called delis lifeline. Today it contributes 60 percent of the daughterly based water charge from delhi into the young out of. Delhi has 22 major grains that carry over 800000000 liters of untreated sea voyage and dump the waste directly into the yemenite every day causing high levels of water pollution. Like water stress the amounts of braced water are likely to get worse over the coming decade. Running on solar power and the absolute water facility generate 100000 liters of plain water every day providing safe Drinking Water and helping solve seawitch pollution indra. From the surrounding districts into container and crush and. Removed from the water using different. Layers of. The brick to pollute. The whole recycling process was developed and refined by the company from. A chemical engineer to think existed some people. Say. Me. 50 degrees which experience is. To keep those. Present in the. Because in india. Using. Technology the water is converted into. High quality Drinking Water which meets. The concrete and that is of. The technology is relatively expensive but in the long term. The most important thing is the operational cost which. We have the one that. The other most important is that being green we are not subject very heavy so therefore. The west so all in all its a full sustainable. System and it is cyclical that. Cooperation is having to use hundreds of meters of this water to wash public buses. The biggest challenge remains to convince delis residents of the idea that the recycled water is good enough to drink. Absolute water has been stored recycling. Is used. Its like that you know. In the kitchen is the purest that they get and. If they had to really look at the pipeline distribution its coming from the exact same were trying to tell them that you know it doesnt matter. To you when you dont have water the water what else are you. Recycled water is only drunken single and california overcoming acceptance is possible. The demand for water in india is expected to double over the next decade and. Effective in targeted Water Management solutions are the need of. The human estimates that globally 2000000000 people live in countries that are experiencing high water stress this could increase to more than 5000000000 people in 2050 lets see what exactly that means. Mortar is one of the most abundant resources on the planet but most of it is salty and not usable by humans so water makes up around 97. 00 and a half percent of all available water just 2. 5 percent is fresh water and most of that is bound up in glaciers and ice caps. Less than a 3rd of that fresh water is actually available to us for our Everyday Needs farming and industry. Though clean water is essential more than 800000000 people still dont have access to a continuous or reliable supply. And safe water causes more deaths than disasters and conflict that kills nearly 800000. 00 people per year. In parts of africa asia and the americas water scarcity is already a serious problem. The gap between supply and demand is increasing this leaves countries vulnerable to drought. Global water consumption has risen 6 fold since 1930 the population has soared and an average consumption per person has done so as well. Industry and farming use large amounts of water according to the un food and Agriculture Organization its just 10 countries led by india china and the United States that consume 2 thirds of the water used each year but resources are limited so many countries especially industrialized ones have started to treat waste water before they release it into nature yet about 80 percent of waste water worldwide is not treated at all. On average the u. S. And other high Income Countries treat 70 percent of their waste water. Middle Income Countries such as india and china treat between 28 and 38 percent while low Income Countries treat just 8 percent. Much more waste water needs to be treated if the world has to meet the growing demand and protect the quality and supply of our fresh water. On average 6 liters of water is used to flush a toilet every single time and that means many a time Potable Water that could be used for drinking or washing up is new to me going down the toilet 2 sisters from frankfurt quit their jobs to change this they developed temporary toilets which work with no chemicals and dont use a single drop of water. Theyre loading portable toilets onto trailers for each its hard work. Theyre not standard sanitary facilities these are compost or no water toilets novato for short and thats the name of this company thats based in Frankfurt Germany and the only water needed is for washing your hands. Were preparing for a corporate event tomorrow friday night they need 3 wash basins 8 toilets and 3 or and also eyepiece well sisters 17 and elizabeth fellows set up novato 8 years ago theyre both former i t professionals who are looking for a career change. We wanted to do something that involves Natural Cycles and isnt too monotonous. We decided to give it a go so we built our 1st toilets and we took them to Music Festivals to see if this was what we really wanted to be doing. The best. He answered turned out to be yes and the company is still going strong. One of their clients is a camp for school students. The whole idea behind the camp is to be climate neutral and eco friendly so of course we wanted eco friendly toilets meaning ones that dont use water if possible. And these ones dont use any at all and no chemicals either what remains is biomass thats in no way harmful. Upset with me. For big events and long term rentals the Company Stops by regularly to maintain the toilets exchanging the containers and cleaning the surfaces the company also sells its toilets to homeowners and somewhat larger models for public spaces to local authorities. The principle is always the same if you have been doing the here we have the container theres a layer of wood shavings in the toilet already well after each use you throw your paper into the toilet. Its also can possible it contains organic material thats come in so that goes in. And then you take some more shavings and throw them in. As you know that so it looks clean and that binds the odor so it doesnt smell or rather it smells like wood shavings. And thats it. Look at you nelly runs a cafe in frankfurt a compost truck that was the answer to all his problems because the cafe isnt connected to the sewage system hes been renting a toilet for 18 months. We once saw one at a festival in downtown frankfurt and thought that could be really useful under certain conditions interesting approach to Waste Management its great and people seem to like it and. What they retrieved from the various rental toilets ends up in a big container on the Company Premises which is taking to the composting plant every 2 weeks 17 says this system makes much more sense than flush toilets. The problem with flush toilets is that they use water to transport the waste thats a very bad idea and the water becomes permanently polluted and the Treatment Plants cant fully purify it again thats why the. Novato still operates on a small scale compost trial thats in other water free alternatives dont yet work in dense urban settings 17 thanks and thats very unfortunate what morning you got hormones and drug residues end up in our rivers and lakes along with plant nutrients thats a problem because resources like phosphates are needed for agriculture. Shaft even if all that goes into the sewage plants and the residue gets burnt its gone forever. Its expensive to recover phosphates from waste water in sewage Treatment Plants novato is one of several Small Companies in germany that manufacture compost toilets they might not yet be able to compete with conventional toilets but 17 fed is certain that we wont be able to use Drinking Water to flush toilets forever. Now many communities depend on water extensive for their livelihood take for example the bathtub style makers from. Their region is witnessing the worst drought in 30 years their dilemma is to choose between producing heaps synthetic fabric that will harm the environment and producing their traditional fabric which is cleaner and cleaner but consumes more water. The state of georgia is known for being colorful this reputation comes from its traditional textile industry and the vibrant fabrics and prints used to make the garments local people. A signature textile here is by dick a method of dying cloth using back in patent areas the most famous practitioners of this craft are the cutlery community. 38 year old shockey is the 5th generation of his family to continue this elegant tradition. Who are joke on our investors created they would use fruits from the blue tree the are from the seeds of these roots is what they use. All the colors are natural. Like indigo black from rust or yellow from. There did not have too many colors to choose from back then them very limited. Use now it is hard work everything is done using racks we have been using it because of market demand we have to work with many more colors and designs. But a guard has been struggling to survive in todays competent market but a few artisans are keen to revive the art in its original form theyre choosing to go organic a decision thats meeting the very real and persistent problem in the state its Water Resources almost 52 percent of cut it out is turning into desert the 3rd highest rate in the country. The local Water Resources are rapidly shrinking. Well but if printing with natural dyes is less polluting for the remaining Water Resources it consumes even more water and enjoy in the clutch region has been working closely with the Artisan Community and has provided solutions to this dilemma and the water crisis. Or water is to the dismay home water not very long ago conducted on water study where we wanted to find out how much water was used in the textile crops. We wanted to promote the technique of using natural dyes and that can also help turn this into an environmentally friendly craft again. Or were environment friendly. The reason for the shift to synthetic dyes took place decades ago and can be traced back to the sixtys the time of the hippie moment and with it a soaring rise in the popularity of the body print meeting rising demands in foreign markets meant switching to chemical colors which were faster and easier but also toxic today the artisans are experiencing higher demand for natural prints customers are keen on organic variants and colors made from flowers and plants. Ever since we started using natural dies there has been a growing respect for the ministers anything that is argument is a little more expensive because it is in there but i feel that the future is brighter for Natural Organic production. Natural levels other junk. It isnt such a king a 1st step using good Water Resources carefully can help future generations to stick to their home and traditions. What does stress has not been a relevant issue for most Northern European countries but Climate Change is causing huge changes in the hydrological balance president ial evaporation and groundwater formation are expected to follow a new order them in the future the german Vendors Association is preparing for the worst theyre testing the Water Management methods to keep it and to stock up the groundwater levels. Ready ready ready for years there hasnt been enough rainfall here even when a downpour drenched the soil the damaged brain could no longer recover and reach its normal size. And influence the you can see the plants are suffering from drought stress theyre sharing their lateral shoots because these leaves are drying out. Normally the plants here would be 4 times as tall. The grain field reporter on a nature reserve which is monitored by park rangers this area used to be a marsh land full of adam most like rains and frogs. Over the past few years the average temperature in the capital berlin and the surrounding region has risen by 1. 3 degrees celsius thats another reason why groundwater levels are falling. In recent years wed normally see a level of 50 centimeters in may. So it would reach up to hit. Just a few years ago water still flowed in this ditch now its dry this area has countless ditches like these with sluices that help drain the land after frequent heavy rains these days theres hardly any rain at all. This doesnt look good. For the rangers and local farmers are looking for a solution theyre planning to turn the Drainage Ditch into an irrigation ditch the idea is being tested 20 kilometers away. This nature reserve has 7 interconnected bodies of water. A lake is right in the middle. Its where the brandenburg Ranger Association has been testing a Water Management system to combat drought. Ranger month but monitors and adjusts the water supply. These streams allow water to flow from one like to the next like a string of pearls. A network of sluices allows the rangers to block the water so that it cant flow out of the lakes as easily. Here we have raised the water level here by 20 centimeters in other words the water level in the lake is 20 centimeters higher than it was before. Because the lake water level and the groundwater levels are interconnected the groundwater level has also increased by 20 centimeters. Once he said to me talk even. The lakes now supply the surrounding fields and meadows with water. Thats also helping revive a marsh that had run dry. The groundwater level here is rising again. The results of this test are being used by rangers and farmers to devise ways to replenish the water table. In the future this loose will be used to retain water rather than to allow it to flow that also requires cooperation from local farmers. And cull thousands of merino that in some years the meadow will be too wet and get water logged but we want to cooperate with the Ranger Association to help preserve life here and we do need the water eventually to. Otherwise there wont be enough grass on this meadow for our animals to graze on. The rain today is very welcome retaining water in ditches instead of allowing it to drain away will help plants and animals thrive here in the coming years. Exports that wars of the future will be fought over wanting water often looking at todays episode it doesnt seem surprising to us that protecting water means protecting ourselves i hope youll be mindful of this the next time you see a leaky tap or have a longshot what well be back next week with yet another pot provoking episode until then good bye.
