2060 what can we do today to mitigate the domino effect of such a po labs in central and south asia, local supply systems. Thats what weve talked about today. Hello, welcome to eco india. Im some of that. Let started bengal in india assault over the last decade. The city has worked aggressively to build systems for treat all the sewage generates falling. A government directive. Larger apartment complexes now have to set up Sewage Treatment plans to treat and reuse their waste water. We visited 2 such plans to find out if this approach is easing bengals water was not a g. Bonnie good overseas. The Sewage Treatment plant at his apartment complex. The Software Engineer lives in banga lew indias Fastest Growing city that struggling to meet its water needs. Its the countrys 1st to put residents in charge of their reast water. A novel approach that explored seeking curve Water Pollution and save fresh water traditionally. So which treatment happens in centralized treatment plans . But what bangla has done because the city has sort of leapfrogged in its development, the utilities havent been able to keep pace with his ever growing demand for Sewage Treatment. In 2016, they introduced a mandate requiring people to treat their own sewage in decentralized. So achievement plans located and apartments. Apartments in complexes like the one a g pioneer calls home. It installed a conventional Sewage Treatment plant to comply with the rules. Its one of more than 2 and a half 1000 small scale Sanitation Systems now operating in banga. Lulu. Collectively this d centralized network treats about 20 percent of the cities see which households use the 3 cycle water to flush toilets and water gardens. In 2013, we have a issue lay guard. We were, our water source was warwell and are no longer level completed shortly and our view started buying more powerful monster. Thats no longer necessity, thanks to the complex on sites who which treat plant. But many bengal lew residents complain about the high acquisition and running costs. We are selling order on the 60000 of this settlement for the average. And also end of the year. Every year we need to order only the be open to working in 3 different shapes. And quantum monitoring is the, the, every day to times he used to want to. And i want it to be Water Quality and melissa level, in addition to the operating costs and the labor required to run them. Such plans also take up lots of space. Who are maintenance can lead to unpleasant orders . An disturbing noise, a local start up sought to address these issues with a small scale Treatment Plant that is steeper, any easier to operate when i start to get furnishing nice, how do you feed this is lisa look at nature. How did need to far from richmond and its in the most because i was looking at minutes or i think back to the office, one of the is not sustainable. So how did need to solve for the phone and of the big back to the one from the one organic. Some, its not a big, dont want to send them back to the phone separate time. Youve got an executive where thats what youre going to do with phonics and, and also the phone calls them up is a very good and it back to the mission, so to speak. It can, but i dont even to be mimicking our digestive system. This ninetys. Busy seavent with bacteria in underground chambers. Gravity moves the sea ridge from chamber to chamber. The farther it goes, the more the solid will settle down and the water gets cleared out until it is finally safe to use for non portable purposes. Ah, with the plan stuart of the underground residential buildings have more room for communal spaces, like playgrounds, at 22. 00 lat, cookies, or 27000. 00 euros. These plans are somewhat more expensive to install it, but in the long run the company sees theyre far more efficient. Santiago, martin, that raj and lives in an enclave. That recently switched to this model. Hes happy with the result of quality of data. Right . If you see that and it looks constantly or so during the final, how would you get to clear water . And wed like this water photo regarding the grown water, the same, but 6 years after the city mandated guy, which, which treatment recycle water still only accounts for 10 percent of the vandals. Daily water consumption. More than half of the water treated on private premises remains unused, and is funneled into leaks in and around bank a little. This water is written new trains that are good for gardening, but harmful to lake ecosystems. Here they contribute to toxic fun. Dropping on the water surface, we find ourselves at a very interesting point in the Sewage Treatment starting. Because if the government actually find alternate uses for this water, it will not only incentivize residents to maintain their systems better and have better quality f soon. But it can also help with the water scarce the problem, the city as a whole because its a bring down the water thats needed for things like Construction Industrial greening box and as well as even thinking about aquifers charge if its done well. So the possibility these are endless, but it just need to quiet planning. Thats a whole full outlook for other cities across india. That fees are fast approaching what prices. Where innovations in least Water Management could make a clear difference. But the east from bang, the noodle, the self contained community of auto will in summer, is aiming to set the standards for the Net Energy Positive habitat. Its causing project humans keeps isnt think we need to. The community, for example, collect rain water in a unique manner. Lets see how have you ever stopped and notice how was it is a devil of a buildings and there are roads. This is contractor local, and he is famous for building green building, our liberal quality greenhouse of buildings are present with branch increase. But we dont feel that were since weve been doing only data. Sustainability is very simple, just think twice the kindly part, every hour we really need this. It can be even for a pen which you buy or the square foot of building. You build me as an architect. She and her being worked on as well as me, an architect, an open planet, to build an open habit asian project in order will put cheating. They called it humans keeps, and with humans, gifts they had one goal. If we can build differently with different kinds of technology and planning, and actually of young people live in it, you actually influence a generation that is more human scapes, us about how to make changes for building more sustainable india. So you want to build a sustainable building. What do you do . The 1st thing is never most of the land natural landscape. When a drop of water falls here, where does it go and where does it end up . You know, this is over a long geological period that water has carved the landscape. And when you disturb it, what happens is what happens in china every month on water boards and standards on peoples houses and other people dont even have Drinking Water. So the best way to avoid this kind of open flooding, oven drugs is to manage a water. Most of the water that falls on our head is what we should work with. So either when theyre putting no rainwater hot, this is early in water harvesting tank. We have channels in water from the roof in different areas below. Dan connected to chains stains. We can see that gene systemic all tradition houses. The rainwater goes on to these chains and it flows with outs, village. If he allow the water to hit the ground with the same force, it leads to high soil erosion. So we reduce the speed by laying pebbles on the ground and the speed on the quarter. Mm hm. In the main or at the bottom border in the main area, brakes have been placed in between the cement blocks for the rainwater to penetrate and flow. In the center, we have a board available. And even if there is accessory in foil, the water will drain slowly. This is how we harvest green water here for you, pretty low and the rainwater owner. Harvest one. Now that you understand how to build according to the topography you need to focus on the climate zone youre going to build in. Humans caps for example, is built in a hot humans on where the main problem is heat and humidity. When these 2 come together, a person living here against us, with a lot more than those another agent, this directly increases wants dependency on fans and air conditioners. And indirectly, the dependent on electricity to that eustace, the architects focused on crossway installation in each house. So on the breeze, then we check for the direction of the breeze. Its in the north south direction. Thats by all the openings in the buildings faced the static shade on the face. Bonita, either car next problem is heat heat. So we look at all the sun moves, what time of the day the sun hit, which part of the building, and what do you put inside the building in those places where the sun is hitting . It burned the bill in this building. The walls are 24 centimeters. Take them and are built with natural red soil. Yeah. The clear type wall doesnt allow the heat to penetrate through it. By the time it penetrates 4 to 5 centimeters to the wall, the sun has set and so the house doesnt warm up at all here, right . So its between the sun and the wind and the angle of the building. Youre actually work out how to put various functions inside the building. And then you have comfort. Its as simple as if you were to apply just these 2 concepts to developing of in cities, youre barely scratching the surface of sustainability while constructing buildings and cities. We need to remember that the building industry is one of the major contributors of energy in this world. In 2020, the sector accountant for 36 percent of global final Energy Consumption and 37 percent of all Energy RelatedCarbon Dioxide emissions. A huge contributor to the change is the Building Materials. Usually we want to have Building Materials which have a little carbon footprint. So we look at what is it that we want to avoid or at least reduce . For instance, of the ceiling. They use the woodstock instead of depending on reinforced concrete, on a concert versus the golf. So this is formed as breaks at age to between 2 beams. In normal fire breaks, there is no steel, cement, or plaster needed, or plastering needed apart from reducing steel interment very cycle 3 important ways medieval, in the building industry. Steadwood of other ways ended up in lun for 1st construction, which was crushed and used in the other world. Then to cut dont keep, they use discarded. 3rd quality weights that make does for the rules and baselines, dont pieces for the world. Not only do these 2 material from the governing the building, but theyre also cost efficient material. But the belinda, the important thing is that there is no material cost in the construction as we use in scrap material. Every 2 weeks we collected traps and small quantities from local shops in the week. We did this process as these materials are not found that easily. Theres only 4 ones that you can influence with design, so forced occupancy. How do you actually include a sustainable lifestyle . So thats what well aim that they said we aim at a huge Housing Program that single couples and even small families to live together in a way that the share and what the share, the share space i did for me here. I moved here in february. I havent felt lonely since then, because that enough people to talk to here on days, i havent prepared dinner and they make dinner for me too. But i enjoyed that sharing a lot and shutting it in a go. Nobody called me go any people to share in the useless office or utility block with an area set aside for waste. Vacation and common washing machines is included normally, tonya. And instead of buying a washing machine and spending more on electricity, water, we have common ones here. I dont come when i go to bed on the, on the new in the base. But most of us, you wont waste water. Jamie, what is the cycle and reuse for the garden . I didnt, im on the blind to can. Did you wonder . You cant keep talking about electricity consumption when you thinking of a sustainable building for the indian subcontinent, particularly terminal. One of the most reliable sources of Renewable Energy entered on mystic scale is the rooftop solar panels combined with an efficient building design. So how can you say its making a significant difference in electricity consumption among the residents . What is actually the average Energy Consumer per person for emergency housing, which is middle Income Group Housing thats interesting and not addressing a low income group, housing it we will try for 45. 00 kilowatts with about 30 percent less and more the standards and were chipping it can someone replicate from another . Sure, it can be done, but it can be copied as design works out only in this context. We have read out appear to be of use for the technology. What materials are available locally . How does it reflect in that climate . We have got to consider all this and so thats me and for being that this model of humans, gifts with a focus on co sharing could be adopted by College Campuses in the future. And thats just the beginning. Sustainable buildings could help develop cities that arent just as indian to climate change, but also contribute less to it. This isnt the only solution, but its definitely much needed stuck with the fruits, vegetables, and greens we eat require a lot of water to be good. Well, in 2021, 22. India was the 2nd Largest Consumer of rice in the world, just behind china. It takes nearly 5000 liters of water to produce one kids. You drink. A special technique helps minimize this. Lets see how. Or anyone who has driven through the state of punjab is familiar with this sect feels of paddy the rice chrome. Historically rice has been grown here just like this. The method is called paddling where crops are submerged in water for weeks. This is one of the most water intensive ways to cultivate body and the results are in punjab is now facing and increasingly severe water crisis. Farmers and having to figure out ways around it. Like good breed thing. Who was experimenting with a technique that is making inroads and not india bonnie vacuum gayonas already every year. The water level is falling by 5 to 10 feet or up to 3 meters in orlando, give or only be adopted the died at sewing of rice technique. Good because it requires less water level of thought. Again, you started to understand how the direct sewing technique works. Now weve got to look at the old method 1st. Traditionally, saplings of rice are grown in a nursery for weeks and transplanted into the field which are flooded. But rice is not actually an aquatic crop. It just has a great ability to tolerate being submerged. The what is mean role is to repel pests and works as a natural we decide. In an on 5 month, the crops can be harvested and done into rice in the form. We know. But this method uses up to 5000 liters of water per kilogram of rice and has been jobs. Water tables shrinks, it is predicted that rice may not groovy on a few decades. Direct sewing or the dsr technique is the alternative where seeds are so indirectly by hand or machines. More seeds may be needed for the same area, but yields remain largely on par with the traditional method machine. So save labor unrelated cost, an advantage in punjab, whether it is a labor shortage or near the bucket. If you wouldnt be yes, i have saved almost 20 percent of my water bill and you can see her video. This has not affected the quality of my paddy at all. I do not get i got the punjab State Government is now offering farmers compensation for bes 1500 around 18 euros a season to switch to the new method to conserve water landscape. Mrs. Fears is good at all for the restroom. Dr. Gur, theyve seen kush as an independent agronomist from the region who says that dsr is of the way forward. This is very important. I totally know another country is, you know, they also do the dsr. Oh, was fluid your job. I swamped united spears, so you say in order not any big convention, its debra miners use them or the bluetooth. So it should be used in north india, but they have to adapt it or not just to the local my local conditions. He means that i do a man obstacles him farmer than punjab, generally dont own land large enough to justify the cost of machines on their own and paying for labor to plant rice by hand. Especially during the labor shortage is costly. The 2nd reason is that it did a lot of heat. If there is no water weeds compete with plants and best attack freshly. So in seeds, this incidentally is why more seeds are needed for the same yield. Controlling weeds and best also requires more labor. And we decides and pesticides. These can be expensive and also bad for the soil in the long run. Its a tough choice between saving water and protecting soil. But there are other reasons. Testing has shown the d. S. Our crops need to be irrigated exactly 3 weeks after sewing to create the best results. Equality, the main issue is that i need to pump got out a particular time. And what do i do with the Electricity Supply . Feels like it often does. I crops dry and die. She shamble belongs to the majority of Small Farmers who have not switched over yet. Giga g, okay, you convince me to adopt diaz up . I agree that it will save what beverly about anybody, but my father and grandfather had been practicing puddling every day. How can i let go of a traditional practice . The state needs to find a way to conserve water, but equally the concerns of farmers need to be addressed from the affordability of machines to the right li decides, and electricity issues before there can be a large scale adoption. The from firstenergy in adroitly due, is growing rather controverted in boerger. So my personal lenders, in years or so most every former french should god actually the 1st steps have already been taken and supporting farmers and making the switch with take the state and of goals of water conservation. A long way done is started for its Gross National happiness and its positive carbon balance sheet. But this hasnt shielded it from the drastic effects of climate change. The country is struggling with a water crisis. Its residents oscillate between having too much water or too little water. How would a tackling this . Lets find out. For the people of be tom, glaciers and mountains are sacred. Like these 7000 meter peaks at the border to the back. Though the glaciers days appear to be numbered, the ice is melting g to climate change, as shown on this animation by the w w. F and the jo ann, the Glacial Lakes have become a major flood threat. Nearly 20 Mountain Lakes are currently at rest. In the south of baton, the monsoon season is normally in july, but in recent years, the heavy rains have come to sit on tight earlier in the month of may. The seeds sewn by local farmers were washed from the fields and the rain water vanishes almost as suddenly as it appeared. Springs of running dry and mountain streams have slowed to a trickle. According to the un, or than 60 percent of the towns population has no access to clean Drinking Water, we had out to see the source of the village as well to supply some 16 kilometers away. Village leader, none that our corral wants to show an environmental expert, the situation theyre facing here with. Theyve been frequent disputes with the neighboring villages. The rules for access to spring water, a strict nam gay who works, but returns tarianna Foundation Hopes to improve Water Management head the project receive support from the International Climate initiative is what this water belongs to. Another group of, weve already spoken many years ago that we can share the water for cultivation booked everything, but she wrung to you. Also. They also have 400 households and a population of 4 to 5000 already like so theyre dipping into this water. The out of you been in this, at least they share the Drinking Water with us, but its not a solution with the drinking, but the Young Students who attend setting tase Central School are also affected by the water shortage. The 860 students have just one source of water for bathing and laundry. You dont have enough water to wash your body and that they have for water to wash their coach. And because of that only give to all sorts of skin diseases and touches one big challenge. The narrow valley in the south of baton near the border to india has a sub tropical climate. At the valleys edge lies the village of dutch and pel. Ray, the water supply is a problem here to the monsoon has become irregular, and when it does rain, the torrential downpours often wreak havoc, reinforced for all the further coming down an old, like a learned fertile uniforms before window and destroying the waterfalls. Fibro did you want to do that or properly molten repl on different im here, the village belt a water tank to irrigate that field. The water comes from the mountains 3 plastic pipes, but theyre often damaged and landslides. And then theres the elephant because they dont what own way they come into the village almost every night. Your small groups of young elephants. In fact, usually they tear off clusters of bananas or bamboo plants, 5 minutes later they leave whatever we try to scare them off with noise, enter, flash lights, big alarm, you will get an electric fence as being dealt to keep the elephants out. That way the hurts will stay in their natural habitat where they have an Important Role to play with some really good movie. But the elephant is an architect of for us. He decides what the forest is going to look like. And if there is a tick pushes, ah, he just go in with trample it, and he opens up for the regeneration of for it. Returns forests are important to the countries water supply. They also play a vital role in maintaining bio diversity and protecting the climate. Tiny baton is doing its best to adapt to climate change, the residence of the mountainous kingdom, half little of the choice. Some scientists predict that the wars of the future will be fought over water. Many in our generation are already living with the inaccessibility to portable water. The smallest individual action could help to fix that leaky tap. Turn off the Running Water while brushing your teeth have shorter showers. I leave you with that and see you again next week.
