Wars of the future are likely to be fought over water. This basic element fundamental to our survival on earth is becoming scarcer with Climate Change and population growth to the on eco india. Lets understand how we got here and what can be done to tackle this problem. Hello and welcome. Im son of that. I go let start english, meet the region is flanked by the him, aaliyahs in the northeast and is dreamed by many large and small rivers. In the last 100 years, Climate Change has caused an average temperature rise of 1. 2 degrees celsius hit, causing glitches to melt. Farmers in the region have got a raw deal. Theyre having to prepare for possible floods while also bakley unseasonal snow right before the harvest. Ah once again, theres no what i have to do early in indian administered gush me in went october for the 3rd year running apple grower abdul hamid gunning death bears. He has to shake the snow of his trees. Its weighing down the branches, all notices. Oh my god, but when a thought but i not with you as i told you and others just look at the trees. Theyre all destroyed so far. The same thing happened. The previous 3 are source, novelty of william over surgeon, article snowing. Frost severely affect the quality of the apples. A crate of fruit damaged by bad weather will sell for just 600. 00 rupees half the normal price. The early winter didnt take abdul hamid gunny completely by surprise. Hed heard the Weather Forecast on the radio. He simply didnt believe it. Now. He regrets that he didnt take action. Ah, the warning was issued by the mythological centre. Sheena bird. Director saw num lotus and his team monitored the whole region and keep the general public informed by the media about increasingly frequent texting, where the events consequences of Climate Change triggered by Global Warming is a reality in democracy. Meet in portfolio and let out. There are so many indicators like the extreme intensity and distribution of the small external, you know, the time space in density off with the systems and severity, his increase dialogue. 80 percent of indias apples come from the Kashmir Valley in the himalayan foot hills. If apple growers lose half their harvest, you too early snow fall for a 3rd year running, the entire region will suffer. The sector is worth an annual 50000000000 rupees, some 590000000 euros accounting for a thought of the regions economy. The push me in Horticulture Department is looking for ways to save guard the sector up now, which is going to we need to transform the data by introducing new id and improving soil for in the last few years, we have brought in new ideas and planted. I didnt see that before the, our lease was auto good quality key. But i did get a call to get these new rate if you have been planted condra fleet, 250 years of land and blossom after the frost additional supports in shore beacon with stand high rings and netting, protect them against hail stones and farmers are also having to adapt to changing climate conditions. Here in the highlands, 1600 meters above sea level. The fields are still carpeted in purple flowers. But the number of farmers growing the precious ice is dwindling. The agreement goes out to us. It is served with me after the production has been declining since 2014, due to Climate Change events such as drug dr. Weather has damaged, most of us will agreement. When we got this year to cut up, well get there is less rain fall here than there used to be. An Global Warming is also shrinking places across the himalayan region. So there is less melt water feeding into rivers. The government has a vested interest in protecting the fast and farming sector. The cropped makes up 16 percent of the regions, agriculture revenue so the government is investing in Education Systems for farmers. Scientists as supporting the project upon most they should indicate these saffron periods from the 25th of august, the 5th of september. That is the critical time. If hi ross, they will irrigate their fields during these dandies, deacon enhanced the end of the 7 by 40 percent improve it would make the more attractive to farmers again. But many of the plant Education Systems are not yet operationalized. Apple. Good abdul hamid dunney has no idea what the future holds. Should he switch to new varieties of apples . It would be years before they be a fruit for now. Hes doing his best to salvage his trees. Yancey gone, gone without the mother. This bron just died, but i dont think it can be said mother yes, you love to help me take a look at the crack and his bronze. Its completely split up and take a look at the trees high limb to a drive to repair them, but deal another human good will finally get us. And he had hoped to leave his orchard to his son as his grandfather and his father did before him. But now he fears they wont provide us that income and will only be a burden on his family. Into these, the an age water has become a political and an economic pool. Stance with more water have more leverage, some industries up prioritized, what are those when it comes to water supply . This causes inequalities that ultimately an unsustainable planet. Lets take a closer look to unpack this better to regence across the planet from each other. But the same problem, theyre running out of water this past spring in klamath, oregon, farmers, wells ran dry the ground water levels and punjab were so low. Nasa alerted india about it and theyre not alone. Around 4000000000 people experience severe water scarcity at least one month here. And when the water runs low, more comes at a cost. So why are we running out and who is profiting . Just one percent of the water on earth sustains all life. And it doesnt just disappear. It travels around the planet in whats called the water cycle. Lets quickly brush up on that. When the air is hot, it warms the water. Water then evaporates into the atmosphere. There it cools and condenses, forming class. They move around the planet horizontally and what are called atmospheric rivers when theres enough water in the cloud range. And if its cold enough, its enough. In the spring snow melts to feed river, providing a source of water to land during the coming hot months of the year. But Climate Change is messing this all up. Rising temperatures mean more water falling as rain instead of snow and the little snow there is, evaporates rather than flowing downstream. Less snow means less water during the summer. In short, im it change speeds up. The water cycle, more evaporation, more rain, more drought, and less water for us. And as the World Population grows, were using more and more of it. The question is for what . Well, 70 percent of it goes to our culture and to support those levels. Weve changed the natural way waters flow, especially in the 50s, sixties. And also later weve seen really remote down building because everyone wanted for good reasons to use Water Resources to lift people all over to you to seek normal development. Susan nish, maya is an associate professor and water law and diplomacy at i ha, dumped in education facility, specifically dedicated to water. Not only was down is that generally within sector over others, especially local communities. You have an increase in inequality in terms of whos using what . Thats what happened in klamath, oregon, where a series of dams supplied water to alfalfa and potato vines, river water levels dropped and fish populations important to the regents. Indigenous people plummeted in ah, 11620 kilometers east in punjab. Indian communities are facing a similar issue because all og significant agriculture, a lack, they may be an depending on the dependence on the ground water. Ah, theres significant groundwater delincia in bunker. Ah, or which is, is a believe in from the ha satellite sam rat. Pesach is a hydrologist by training and research is urban water challenges and solutions. India started using more agricultural chemicals during the green revolution. And the 1960 s Crop Production expanded and significantly reduced famine and jobs started supplying the country. And later the world with rise at the expense of its groundwater. And they are now policies in place to improve the situation. But the water table hasnt recovered. Meanwhile, local peoples wells are running dry. And what do you do done . Well, you drill a deeper well with the challenges that give me 1 may not have died, right . Affordability to drill deeper every time. Black as ground water. In such cases, a people are depending on the external sources of water. Making me water tankers were bottled water. But those at water are far more or less fluid. Then the water that is supplied by the booming, on average, the people with less money spend a higher percentage of their income on the water. A minimum wage worker in the u. K. Spent 0 point one percent of their income on save water. In india, the country with the largest number for the lacking safe water. A low income person spends 17 percent of their Household Income on water. In madagascar purchased water sucks upwardly 5 percent to the low wage workers incoming. And lack of water causes more harm than just thirst. Persistent dehydration has Severe Health implications and fetching water usually falls to women and girls, subjecting them to increased risk for assault and water scarcity can also caused psychological trauma. You cant even imagine when you wanna. You also to wonder what was there when you are trying to push the yod on see what was she, bob, that maybe and get some water. And then going to dr. Deep d a. China is the author of the new book about the right to water. She was motivated to research the topic by her experience, living with water scarcity. So for me, i think what the stress is beyond the see goes. It is, i think the emotional narceena and this emotional loss creates a market light for private water providers who might take over when governments fail to provide clean water. This might have also short term effects, because if the Company Wants to make money, its going to make sure that the water is clean, provided on time, regularly, and so on, because thats the way they, they make money. And thats exactly what companies on the s and p global water index are doing. It contains 50 International Companies that provide water, utilities, and Services Like purification. As clean water become scarcer, these Companies Services are more in demand. And the more business they get, the more investors earn. Good. Privatizing isnt always the way to go. In many cases, it doesnt live up to expectations. Thats because in most cases, privatized water is also more expensive. A lot of people didnt fall. Yeah, through the crypt and then not at all anymore. There are those ready to profit from this situation as well. In india, many water tanks are controlled by a so called water mafia. They have it started dealing with they are good there to bring it in. Ha dang, were selling so dead in less mendocino but their process is a 100 and then theres the bottled water industry, which is where the almost 3000000000. 00 us dollars and expected to grow by around 7 percent break. Major players in the market include coca cola and nestle, which have been accused of both causing and profiting from water scarcity in the United States and canada. For example, coke takes water from municipal sources, bottles it, and sells it to people who often dont have clean water at home in india and mexico. Coke was accused of severely depleting ground water after opening bottling plants, and nestle has come under fire for over extracting water from native American Reservations in water stress california. So is there any way to ensure more people have safe, affordable available water investing and infrastructure is the most direct way to improve access both repairing, broken or damaged pipes, and building new connections, as well as wastewater recycling facilities. Another direct ways to reduce meet consumption and the vast majority of our fresh water feeds industrial, i were culture going further, starting a process of decommissioning dams, and letting watershed ecosystems regenerate helps tackle the root of the problem. On the Klamath River for hydro electric dams are scheduled to be torn down in the next few years. Another push is to give nature rights in the courtroom. This would mean people could bring court cases on behalf of rivers, for example, against their polluters. The iraq tribe established rights of nature for the Klamath River in 2019. Still the main problems remain much of the planets. Fresh water is unsustainably managed, and Climate Change means theres less for us to use. But changing our diets in restoring our ecosystems can make a difference. Now Sea Level Rise is one of the most winnable impacts of Climate Change. Indonesia, with its thousands of islands, is a particular risk to protect it, to 70000000 residents. The country is working on solutions that could help mitigate this problem. Lets see how routine has to get the water out of her house. Veiling is now part of her morning routine. Then she hopes the water will recede enough to make the roads possible. Only then can she leave home to take her son john, out to school for lighting up as early as possible. If its flooded, i cant get him to school. Theres no way to get past the water. Try and youll fall into the abyss. Ah, her family lives inseminate, a village in the city of pic allan in the north of indonesia, java island. For almost 20 years, villagers watched the Sea Level Rise steadily than 2 years ago. Water from the java sea began spilling into salmon at submerging homes, roads, and fields. Indonesia is comprised of some 17000 islands. Many could struggle to keep afloat. If it had been greater, will i continue to increase it by more than 2 degrees or within the next m 60 or 70 . Yes. More than 1500 islands, if im in indonesia will be actually will actually, you know, getting, getting flooded and, and say, ah, the rising sea is also threatening picola m as well as the capital jakarta and other Big Industrial cities in indonesia. Now a 30 kilometer long wall scene in this animation is to be built to protect your carter from the flood waters. The project is expected to cost billions of euros until its finished. The government is relocating to the neighboring island of borneo, protect the coast or we settled people. Its a choice faced by numerous countries in asia. If you dig a country like getting them, it is estimated that even the a positive scenario of about a one meter seat of a rise, it is estimated at about 24000 square meter of the country would go in the water. That is 10 percent of the directory of it. None. And because yes maam, is primarily a re long goes it will be possible for the government to build a died around the goes, but indonesia isnt just threatened by the rising. See, the land people live on is itself sinking. Whether in jakarta or pecan, long and ground water exploitation is to blame. Private households, Office Buildings and industry all extract too much in the city to go with apple gallow, industry and peca langon. On average, your clients large amounts of water. Most of the cultivation of rice, ice factories, fishing services, hospitality. All of that has to be taken from the groundwater because the state Water Company doesnt provide us with enough water. Ive, anybody, i am gonna be selling double b. As a result, the lu sandy soil gives way subsiding and it even faster rate than the seas rising. Its estimated that in 15 years time, some 80 percent of the job is northern coastal plain will be under water. Possible Solutions Include pumping less ground water and preserving or replanting mangrove forests, which act as a natural protective barrier against rising floodwaters. Low wages make indonesia a popular production location for foreign investors, businesses deplete local natural resources. Experts say its time for a radical refill. There should be accelerated economy chance formations, whereby its not only about the income, its not only about the g, d, p, or the elevations, but also how did the Economy Development should also be should also consider the environmental aspect. Really in d, in the planning and in the implementations, ah, but someone that is running out of time, the tide keeps rising around, 40 families have already moved away. Its likely the remaining residence will soon have to follow them and leave their village to be claimed by the c. Preparing the coming generation to equip themselves with fact context and solutions to environmental problems has become a priority for many schools in india. In the last decade, our team spoke to a few individuals and organizations who are at the forefront of this effort. Lets meet them to find out what works and what doesnt. When it comes to teaching children about building a sustainable planet. The claim it is on the curriculum at this school in the Western State of missouri. India is one of the few countries in the world thats made. The study of the environment are compulsory subject thanks to a Supreme Court directive in 2003. But experience has shown that when children are cooked up in classrooms, dry textbooks do little to ignite their interest. They dont need to have children was fall in love with nature, which means they need to be able to dutch science. They need to be able to climb trees. They need to be built, are able to be ordered to leaves under caterpillars and sigma, just find doors. And once they start doing that, its is when and my model education has kicked in and you Start Talking to them about the pressing issues that we are. B, c, lucius, like pollution, water conservation, and Climate Change that on feature in video. But out on his book for children by inviting the author into the classroom, mamma is actually high school, has found an interactive way to give students a deeper understanding of the scope of the climate crisis. Because of the dell has kind of approached it in a very light when and her books speak the voice of the teenager that were talking to. Ah, it really has opened up those opportunities to have 1st conversation and then awareness which comes much later. My understanding of the Climate Change after the session as expanded a lot good. I got to know about what animals are facing. Not only animals, what people as well are facing drugs. Are there extinction is there. All this is very tough to get an exposure to all these things. Time outdoors with hands on activities, lay planting, also help foster relationship to nature. No books and School Lessons arent the only things raising childrens awareness about the environment in india. Ah, ah. The scrappy childrens new service is a tv program piloting environmental issue. Its produced and angered by kids report on problems like waste and the lack of space to clean their neighborhoods. All of those know where they can thing than the knee. Where yogurt, a child and changing, forgotten thing in there, some of them are daunting, but im not sure what started in 2017 by the indian nonprofit organization. Going to school in years on to national tv stations on online platforms, and is shown in government schools today. Its featured reports from more than 2000 children across different indian states, often from underprivileged communities, with the focus on solution finding the form of this corky and engaging its not. How do i say this kind of didactic . Why the, you know, in the education where youre kind of go now its boring. Again, its looking for solutions in a wacky way and saying theres no wrong way to go about problem solving. It just means that you have to start in a country. Still striving to achieve universal literacy scrap in use is helping to get the message out to young and old door children are least responsible for Climate Change. Their said to bear the biggest burden of its impact. Oh, i see that theyre going to bend. Maybe, maybe, maybe midpoint, add new blood lab property. That might be a problem well meet may. Fab zabel, i will, its got unsub side. Me got a blitzkrieg that day. Again happening. I know one b, b to b Climate Change is a fat and not an opinion any more how one has a long way to go to fully buy into this fact and take action to stop art extractive practices. But i hope to lease episode has shown you the change for the better is possible, a leader with that thought and see you again next week from all of us in india and germany. Good bye.
