And i am some drug of homes that we nobody right to in uganda. Welcome to ico off to the native nations, once flemish police to make his foot water out of the heart of the plans. Weve put water at the heart of the show about sustainable whats in management. Lets take a look. The below and she is in ivory coast, getting the homes dotsie to protect the neighborhood from flooding. Why once furnish island is hunting to folk just sole eats what the problem and how drugs heat. So my kids and look into the seats to get the precious drinking supplies. What to in wrenches our lives in so many ways in kenya, both sides of households dont have any electricity which holds both businesses and flemings in the daily task. Bonds in some areas, the res of parcels, the east, closer, most sustainable and more affordable than you might expect. This is the Gardner River in central kenya, is the main shrewd retreat of the countrys long history. The populace quotes the water recreation. Its also helping to generate electricity. This wilderness come. So to risk, for example, a thought is hydropower turbines. For more than 10 years, rid of water is type 30 to power the water wheel when the time ive seen it, is it always 50 now . Yes. When the high water, im 20 flow, what size the yes is source through the is less us then things like i said, use the back. And when the what the level is a high, we are able to use this in freeze as freed in sun show us and the Lighting Energy studies include that generating electricity locally using hydro power has huge potential, especially in remote areas that are difficult to electrify. Like the mountain is mironda county here too. Theres plenty of older available to generate power with. The beauty with more on light is one of the reasons that is the last year of no frequent flaws. What flows because of the fever about as tropical condition. The experience has a lot of rain. So me a moment can yeah. So these, these a lot of favorable conditions that really supports the communities in those areas to be able to identify needs to be, to invest in such many types of projects. The key figure in bringing hydro power to the region is joe mcgee, right. He started out building small turbines to provide power to his community event. And up with the belgian businessman to find the company and scaling the technology. So mcgee was, its a dream country. He grew up with idols, electricity in by for you to do the i was no and the connection over the file. I did that. It was north for a and also then nothing a bit. So that meant how did you, what was the thing about that was do my sunday, i could not mainly give access to the power. I was easy that time using that, but i think im like hydro electric dams. These clones dont decline knowledge. Mazda applies, or the re sacrament of entire villages. Part of the reserve is simply re directed down this loose way, its speeds fast enough to rotate turbines. Before being channeled back to the river. The electricity is fed into a network of lines across the region. With this relatively simple system, like a rolling, his team is supplying power to 9500 households and 35 schools and businesses. We are also improve them in because a here over the funding, because right now they can use the same activities to pump the what the to the, to the a whole. Although they havent been whats a down mentally improved easy region. It will event of the education because they could be up to now to lot of this today, good. We need to be able to do it on our end because they have the power just of a 75 percent of people in kenya currently have access to electricity. But even those connect to, to the National Grid con, always be sold at power will be available when they need it as pharmacy, you know, to, well, oh no, yeah. We were connected to the National Grid power, but it would often fail when it would cut out to the side and i put on hitched eggs would be in our bathroom. But when the electricity went off off the chicks, we did die. And we made a last look, the cool, thats why we decided to get connected to mcgills grid. Is it to find a but it doesnt have cuts deal my, you know, high for k. This t factory has also signed up for jo mcgee rose hydropower to avoid the recognize digits. Central kenya is famous for its t, but processing that leaves is energy intensive. So a reliable source of power is key or if we dont have the power, the tools almost abrupt and affect the quality of the tea, but not with the state more power. We are able to pro deals in a very, its done that way. The quality of the of that is acceptable at globally and also helps in the improving also the price on that date and translates to additional income ultimate to least to the, from the long periods of drought do need to last palace when water levels and know its headlines how they rotate, and sometimes get clunks with debris to. To come to this problem, the wilderness come decided to add solar panels to its power mix. The hydrox team, i will say, pursuing the same principle, but on a much larger scale, the hydro electric power plant is covered in flexible tank panels, which helped to keep your electricity flowing when water levels. I know theres not like that that i was the nice charging the member i need to the talk about 5 giving me the because of the, the grid is the by the rising. Now, 99 processed and visited during the i connected with our jo mcgee really made his 1st simple turbine as a child using hogs from his brothers bicycle. Since then, hes never lost his loss of hydro power. Now is one time hobby is benefiting the entire region. Its great to have an abundance supply of whats in nearby bottom, you know, roughly expanding cities. It can be a problem. Only about 15 percent of households in ivory Coast Commercial capital hooked up to drainage on sonya taishan 50. Thats right, sandra, and thats bad news. When having a room full comes and brings flooding water bone diseases, volunteers in one part of abuse young will determine to make it the friends as you can see. How the do this in this fix doing your big be la cruz settlement in abidjan is a now low lying district. Sewage from high areas fluids into the neighborhood. A big problem, especially during the rainy season. I la cro doesnt have a functioning drainage and sanitation system, but it does have its own sanitation brigade, which has built a run off canal. Because when we had the idea of building the canals, we had the water come in this way and go out that way. The center taishan brigade really occurred. We didnt want to wait until the all star seeds took action to help the neighborhood. They sold the problem themselves and that has improved the lives of those around the end. How about you . If youre also doing your bit, tell us about it. Visit our website. Hash tag doing your bit. We share your story. Of course, what the shortage is becoming more and more frequent in many places in the world, including europe. It could become such a precious result the researchers in switzerland or bridget trying to irritate crops without wasting a single drop philly phone a. As a researcher at the switch center of excellence for Agricultural Research or agro scope, he has been ideas about how to preserve water is your 1st good on the important goal is finding the right amount of water adapt so we can use as little of it as possible for irrigation plus to achieving the best possible while it was able to pull at the end of the mayo. Objective cutting, thats monique is working on a drip irrigation system. For orchards, each tree needs a little more than 12 leaders per day and using the right amount and the right places helps conserve water. Your thoughts reminds me of an australian publication which demonstrated that drip irrigation can reduce water us by 50 percent dangerous cost cycle, and for some of the other studies may be less optimistic, but all of them come to the same conclusion. Drip irrigation is an efficient method of distributing water to fruit trees, especially when used in combination with ground sensors to separate sensors at different depths and the ground measure its moisture. When the song gets to dry, the sensors send out the signal indicating that the tree needs water. The signal triggers the watering system up to 3 times a day. Monet has conducted trials on 30 different fields, and hes developed a fully automatic irrigation system. It prevents waste and guarantees high yields to just call the were in a part of the orchard, e that for experimental reasons like we having direct gated or is it due to how scholastic, currently, fortunately, observe, is that the fruit here is not only small, its not the best quality guntee the produce 0 in terms of 1st choice that would cost to grow or tens of thousands of francs per head during the income moskowitz at that deal to also renew for the product of the drought is noticeable between the trees, the dry summer has caused major problems with these trees have died if they hadnt been irrigated over by the cold. Yeah. Do to show you how long a treatment survive without the water. In fact, the tree has some mechanisms that allow it to survive without the water damage to sort of even started without water. They stop growing and cant drive quasi the prison. Digital p, the growth of the shoots in the branches will be completely stopping as well. The growth of the fruit, a copay tool, a that costs as if we so its the yields, the quality of the production that is affected by the lack of water. The fix, the bottle of volume moved to aside from so improves. There is another way to measure of trees need for water, didnt draw matters, or Research Project by monets colleagues measures the diameter of the tree trunk. During the course of a day, the trunk expands or contract. When the sun shines, the tree loses the water and becomes dinner when watered in the evening. It expands again overnight. If a tree doesnt get enough water and cant regenerate and experiences, whats known as water stress that has a negative effect on yields. The researchers irrigation system is faster and more precise and also more reliable. So when the irrigation is well adjusted, it ensures that human errors wont occur. Its often valves that people forget to close, that lead to water waste. Funnel days, oh, thats cool. No, be, as water becomes a scarce commodity around the world, water saving technologies like these are more vital than ever from canada to a why to greece, but destructive power of wealth fires has been practically evidence this year. The island of brun canaria was also the victim of quotes in places a few years ago. It is hoping to avoid and of repeats by using a very special methods of water harvest. The Early Morning clouds are gathering in the mountains of ram, canarios, and strange structures will capture their water, the sol, ill leave it as an environmental technician with a life me a blessed project. Hes showing a trainee, the principal based on nature his model. The way i just come on a full house, the goldman lincoln and put a head plug in like an extra moisture from the air low. Mean im afraid he got locked up, they sucked it up. Its like a small issue. The, the usual structures take advantage of a common phenomenon on the north side of Spains Canary islands. Clouds move in from the atlantic to install on the mountain sides. The solid oliva and his colleagues have set up 5 collectors. Cloud catchers, monday they soak up valuable water in the same way that light comes to the name of my yeah. Dont the letting me ever let go. When push as far as the, into these financing the back door and like a tiny water drop the roll into a bigger draw obviously, and that, but having it, i dont know what that is, which then fall into the collect the flow, you know, into the transfer left, so the, so im gonna put a roller they heat allow us, you know, the that is collected 90000 liters of water over 2 years. Water is scarce on grand canal aria, the reservoirs are running dry. The air, the conditions are making wildfires more frequent in 2019 the island was hit by a devastating fire. 10000. 00 hector is a forest burned down. 9000 people had to be evacuated. That well seek locus here cuz he said thats what he meant that its a vicious or yeah, well below got here. The lack of water means theres less healthy for goes on to the way the and everything this dry some 50 because here, cuz this is her name with the our fuel 50 for the fire. The funny little bucket for was full. So they reforest planting trees. Species that should make the forest more resilient, and they also use water from the cloud captures like the good and the florida will force the grow here get that will work like a natural fog catcher, was left on cnn trees. Take the water from the clouds and pass it came to the ground willis internet, so that means it could be the future of the island. And i see for now though, the present is dominated by agriculture. Economically, the canaries depend on banana crops, but each tree needs 20 leaders of water a day of the about the one im on. So. So whats the plantation in the north of van, canaria hes worried about water because of rain is becoming ever more scarce. Like you have to say rain, so youre in psychic, almost every 78 years without much in between. And i wonder if the reserves from a big rainfall only last for one or 2 years. So for the rest of the time, we have to find another way to get the the maybe the sea water is one option, the treating, it was expensive then it was there within as an example, could Yvonne Cabrera this how a nation technician is visiting. So when do you know it targeted and what could be that level of what last solid we have to filter out the solve. Thats what dissolved in the see water of our little while come. I think its a complex chemical process that uses a lot of energy. Yeah. Isnt that i meant that and why they got lying disease other let me see, i guess an associate good large scale of fields of thought catchers in the mountains be a solution. The cell or leave a trust and the research on this project is working on new ways of capturing moisture from the clouds the they expect this metal grid to be much more efficient than the plastic mesh theyve been using. What uh the might have been the goal, so not too badly using a sustainable and Natural Resources like fog could be a good solution. Figure out if it is. Yeah. But uh, and the weight, good water, gar, tree ceilings with it and everything was done. And a farmer could use the water was on the plantation when that was done to the, the hour the for that to work so proud to have to continue to gather here on the mountain sides. If weather patterns change, cloud captures might also fall victim to Climate Change. The thats a really interesting way to secure Water Supplies bottle. The plymouth crisis means that it can only be part of the solution if it cooled. Use water from an ocean for a daily news. It would also really change for maintenance of people. Now this report from somebody a how small securing a day supply of Drinking Water is high book into small youre a c t on somebody is cost. The wells are up to 200 meters deep and holding up the water, connies does is tween yes. Since rain, fully scott, us fresh water east to so towards the, from the nearby ocean in food fits and contaminants. The woods still of the country ive met and his neighbors come here most every day. They have no other choice but its there a lot. So little, so its exhausting to draw water from the deep well and its salty to die. So the issue, but i can not afford to buy clean water. I think i can do it in a reason to us. So maria has experience a big role failed during the season. The loankey smiled is trying out for residents. Its a disaster. Busy to grazing lump lift and on the most dying of cost, the ground is so patched. Its hardly what for me. Over 2000000, so many guns ive already feeling the effects of Climate Change lea, bundle sand from somebody else. Maybe its true of energy and what are resources is worried about the future. That other can slide. The drop is adversely affected people in their live stock in case mile and the surrounding areas about us as i mean there is a severe water shortage inches mile away. All right, and i have the some of the wells have dried up and the rivers have to live. And what are you . Were not expect thing rains in the coming months, ios, but the drought will end when a law sends us rain. But even without any rain Health Hazard right in the form of a want to be selling nation planned, it was built by so many Business People who wanted to improve the quality in the woods. So they found that they own from highlight level. Its the one key we establish the off the water supply, company intern, smile in 2014. Did us into a factor we saw there was no clean and drinkable water here in the consultation and we are going to be canceled the be mckayla when we dug deep. Well, so i literally what we noticed that the water was salty, so we bought machine was to decide when they know the water. Maybe i combine this or the not really, this would be the governments responsibility. But so maria has been politically timeline for the kids. The policy, im sure the government does not collect enough money through taxation or is investment on the final or a square box. Im working it all. Awesome. Awesome. Well, next month. So theres no Public Investment to be in building a dissemination plan. Requires millions of dollars or something, or on, on a little done at the last Climate Change conference. So money asked industrialized nations for funds to cover such costs as it produces just a fraction of the waltz couple of emissions baby. So the nation plants used to be powered by a decent in every town because expensive to operate and environmental the home for it. But you know, the company is using green energy, big solar collectors and the other plants replaced much of the need for fossil fuels. Systems also look, im look, im kind of nice and so on the head when i saw a man and we were using 15 barrels of diesel per day, which caused the loss of air pollution highly. Well, how was he the engine light after we installed the solar system . We cut the diesel consumption by 80 percent. Dont have this on model model. Can we use diesel motors at night a month . And so when we have enough water at night, we run the motors and they, me or our water production has increased limits and weve lowered its costs by 60 percent. So sort of keep behind that well, walk on a baby. So the nation plant has been a blessing for people here supplying fresh water to around 5000 households. And because solar energy has reduced the cost of clean thinking, whats up even poor russell mondays cannot afford it. People look here to bite asset sales, put a fraction of the former price. Now for the him of how much comes he a regular to. She sees by good motel for her so and hell send me the, the late i used to work took you dont meet those to get to, to get on with this and then it was not good to drink because the water was so sort of team that all went x, im all for you know, off you brings clean and bring people will tell me right here. Close to me hun, its a nice, its a total of a sentence. Just costs when i got dynamo is that live in june and thats made her life much easier. Because despite the assistant route, she still has access to plenty of thinking. Whats up though if somebody is dealt, gets was even sold. She will, will tell, will be in short supply. So the head of the Water Company is to build the plants that will be sending it so to tax straight from the ocean instead of the so to water from the clean water from clean energy, a win win solution. That was a look at sustainable. Whats in one to 2 minutes . We hope a bully do us . Good bye for me, sandra holmes, that we know you right to in complex uganda to and for me, chris alone.
