Than three hundred people were killed in a suicide truck explosion in longer this year on saturday some of the us president claims alshabaab for the attack he says his country cannot fight beyond group on its own and has appealed for more International Help those are the headlines that stay with us coming up next its earthrise thanks for watching. Its impossible to underestimate the size and scale of the economic crisis its not just about the billion trillion dollar debt its not just about the banks its not just about the government to really get. Here in the himalayas with maybe half of the causes of Climate Change but the effect all around the of a male thing the temperatures are rising although you can feel it is about forty five percent more Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere just now and that was when human civilization first developed. Climate change is just one of the ways in which our presence on earth is profoundly altering the planet. And this new series of earths rice will be exploring how to counter some of the greatest threats to survival including pollution loss of habitat drought and overconsumption. From the mountains of the himalayas to the astray and out back in the hot springs of iceland will be looking at the impact of these global issues at the local level. Well be bringing you stories of adaptation innovation and action and the people who are rising to the environmental challenges that we face today this is a thrice. Wouldnt cut his teeth that is the status of the. Less than three percent is fresh water and i say that is frozen glass in polar ice caps. Its leaves less than zero point one percent readily accessible over the planets fresh water needs. To disappear. Despite resources on the trends from pollution mismanagement rising demand and Climate Change. In just over a decade its estimated that the world will and have sixty percent of the water it needs. And we were content to conserve it. Commercial be enough come to the dark in northern india with some engineers have come up with some Innovative Solutions to alleviate water stress in mountain communities and i might even enjoy what were going to take in the water crisis and that. One. Millions of people relied directly on water survival due to Climate Change these reservoirs in the sky disappearing at an alarming rate some scientists are protected by the end of the frenchie much the himalayas could be practically ice free. Here in the dark which experiences only fifty millimeters of annual rainfall glasses have been the light source for centuries but due to Climate Change over fourteen percent of the local area has been lost in the last fifty years im here to visit an engineer whos come up with a beautiful and extraordinary way of preserving the glacier water. Made of ice. In the town of late and its a wonder you dont need a local environmental scientist understanding. About Climate Change and the effects on mountain communities can you give us a sense of some of the challenges that theyre facing here in lay the main crisis is that you have. Is that we can see that kind of leisure and thats where it was and of the weather is going in for the near the dead and that glacier is sitting at a very fast speed and everything every lay has a guest house and they drain the groundwater like anything if there is no rush or water to rejoin the groundwater in the polls there will be what id like to. See people you know fighting over water literally literally the situation is getting bored with. The. Almost a billion people are affected by shrinking glass years throughout the himalayas a nearby village few Young Farmers are on the front line. And phone shook and shook have been working here for more than forty years. Thank you so much. Ok so cheers have you noticed any changes perhaps with the seasons or with the levels of water or even the law in the shooting of. Your long. You can russians and the past is the term that our two teachers in knots have but i dont come about and was not going to make an incident such as answer to she ten or nothing at the really counts of class which has in chief here. Got to be met by a young treatment. When i come here is asked what has your. Position. Here in the region of the population relies heavily on the indus river. But with the situation getting dramatically worse the local engineers so numb one to stepped up to the challenge of helping the villages adapt to these changes. In general february nobody needs water so the streams flow and going to the indus and into the ocean whereas in april or may everybody all the plants all humans are all dying for water. And then there is. Q chop your fork. What iced over does is by using the water storing it in the form of life and it melts exactly when there is this acute shortage that spring problem is solved using winter water into ice that melts in spring and then set. The environment to Mountain School he founded in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight tsunami has been refining and teaching his eye stupid concept for the last two years in the bible brings water and it boils down and become. You know the next forty fifty years the people who will be running this world are now in schools and colleges i want to engage them in these you know it is to be sensitive towards the environment in the mountains so then the earth could be in safe hands and before we go to the well see a little demonstration of how it is. Now that suppose in the mountain and that bucket there is say the stream from the lake or the stream water comes in the bible it is underground but here you can see. There is pressure in the pipe and then it comes like this so you can see a small droplets which means watery very exposed to the minus twenty minus thirty air lose its heat and freezing theres no moving part there is no electricity theres gravity thats the beauty of it. Good. Thank you. Were heading up to the ice stupors further up in the mountains the first we have to make it works dont. Use these for the ice to push to help us form so this is a kind of way of parts like the skeleton of this if you like. Ill go and give them a hand right. Where. You are. Going and. My contribution. Wow. Never seen anything like that before. This is. Now i understand. You know its quite a is a bonkers idea its quite it is quite. The design of the steeple is critical for its success you must have a minimal surface area to provide a maximum protection from the sun this enables it to last long into spring sometimes up to four months if the same volume of ice was a flat it would melt within days. After. Their. Claimed the top rate is crampons and i set and hes thrown down this role plays to. Pulling them up piece by piece and just adding them to the pile the prickly buckthorn is added all the way to the top of the stupor the water catches on to the stones making it easy to crystallize in the cold weather. And when you see the size of it you really understand how that could have a Significant Impact for or against what you reckon the volume of water is there two million liters going with. The bulk of that really in the heart of the ice. Is this large plate thats the one is channeling the down from the up on the mountain its coming down to the base of that pipe because the head of pressure is forcing it fifteen or twenty is up into the air. To sprinkle because you have a structure. Where spooky. Sometimes vision isnt just about handful of very steep was in one moment village hundreds of protecting the entire himalayas and helping irrigate fields forests. Five thousand trees were planted in twenty fifteen and irrigated each spring with the water harvested from the ice steeple it is already one Global Recognition for this project whats the future for these guys where do you see is going in the next few years i see it going in two Different Directions lower and lower towards the people in the villages higher and higher towards the highest part of the valley where you can grow many of them genes of them so our hope is we could really hear what we have lost to buy time and adapt to changing climate so weve just lost the sun over the hill its getting cold very quickly but weve got a plan. Because danson and thomas here and theyve brought some prayer flags to tie up on the top of these two i stoop with and well get a sense tomorrow morning. Is amazing structure. The water in the pipe is released over night when temperatures reach minus twenty minus thirty degrees. Slowly building up these structures until they reach heights of sixty or seventy feet. Its like all right thank you struck oil. The next morning a return to the stupid to see the changes in the overnight. Oh man. That is for the past his. I want to claim up but thats a good idea thats why i get stuck. Im going to make quite a nice addition to this sculpture just thinking theyre going to come back tomorrow and frame it. Bearing in mind the whole reason that theyre doing this is to try and conserve winter. Is like a kind of water battery charger in the winter. In the spring. We are losing our glister almost for no fault of our. Life would not have been possible at all in the desert had it not been for the blessing. Because it had this to live water from then love thousands of years ago being able to survive and if theyre gone we will be gone and it will be a real desert with no life people in big cities if they live simply than people in the mountains would simply live and sooner or later it come to their own doorstep so we should be sensitive to see the first sign and then our way. Sources of fresh water. And drought is spreading the Investment BankGoldman Sachs has boiled water but the trade of the next century. Its already tension. On the indus river system. By india seen by rival pakistan as a threat to National Security but in india boiled over in bangalore in two thousand and sixteen when the Supreme Court of the state. Race Hotel Recovery into town. Has become a weapon of war in iraq and syria. Two thousand and twenty two thirds of the worlds population could be living. Maybe closer thank. You and jordan is one of the driest countries in the wild but thats what a couple to the west anywhere else on Climate Change population growth and politics but an already strained water supply under stress. But the country recently suffering from its was trapped in a nine hundred years it is now estimates its on have enough water recess spoke to a Million People it has a population of six men. With faulty pipes and plumbing contributing to the crisis im here to visit a scheme which is putting women at the heart of efforts to combat this growing. I meet with an expat look to diet and to being one of the well. People come to buy more hotel. Where people come when they run out hotel yes this is a big. So these guys are they going to sell the water to people always before that were they buying out a member. Of congress. Who. Was that who might. Have. This new law and theres fifteen families asked to him to bring a warthog all of them fifteen families i did. What we did i do sixty. Which is. An average of somebody else in the world this is well below the threshold defining blow to stress and its due to talk coming. Up. With. The you know why is the situation so bad with israel this year is. Comes to. I think personally the coming war in the region will be about what according to one study the kingdom supply of fresh water is on track to be. Twenty six to make matters worse around fifty percent of the water distributed to houses across the country is lost through illegal tapping and faulty pipes but a practical solution. Has been developed in collaboration with the jordanian government its known as the water wise womens initiative. This course teaches women water saving techniques and plumbing skills and is supervised by x. Management. Regulator the main toward what happens if as a faulty top o. The parts of the top need to come out in order so that they can go back in order so the farmer can check them one by one. Standard shingly the total loss to leakage and is at least seventy six billion liters enough to see. By the needs of two point six Million People i am reattaching into the topic and im going to make sure its very secure ok its enough ok good. For your family kind of. Childish like it was that. Women are specifically being trained because in Traditional Middle Eastern culture the husband must be present before a male on the can visit. To fix the problem themselves saves them both time and five to. Three thousand women around the country learning from this this initiative is making a big difference. Some of the quantified white women have got a job fixing the plumbing. And ive been invited to join. The. Broken into the time and nature of the water so theyve got to make so every drop. Of the time. Because. If the water. Of the moss is just checking that everythings down. But. I dont think youd know hes made hes not. With the water tank on the roof signed off its time to head inside to complete the job. So i basically lavish a room where people come and perform make they wash before they pray and the ladies are going to show me how to attach these at the top and they dont waste as much water helps conserve water because its small its hard to yeah. You have to. Go to the last ones to. Fail the first half of the fire of thing when you go to peoples houses and sometimes you find many some men who kind of dont like that theres a female come to their home what do you say they say trials and see if we can do it or just give us a chance this year we are. So confidence with this they look at us like oh my god well be sure knew it they have oh. Ok lets see wow i already know that you know nice maybe i will die out is leaking from the top so yeah i was not ok so i think i need to stop now and let us take over. The walk the water wise woman on doing is even more important now considering the impact the in neighboring syria is having on jordan around two million refugees are being hosted in the country increasing the rate of groundwater depletion. Just fifteen miles from my front is saturday refugee. This. Is like a little sissy. As eighty thousand so i know he said again just beginning i do will strain on jordans supply. Getting water to the People Living is a massive logistical operation cast lead control with no pipe now fifty eight trucks like this one distribute water daily to Twelve Thousand times. For scaring people when the water runs out that set. We have. Been reached. So its like. Very. Ensuring the syrians manage their water russians. Is one of the camps will to provide education refugees on how best to conserve their water the water here its. So small so they need like an awareness session for them to improve the use it for the water these awareness sessions to help refugees cope with limited supplies ahead. And i. Have been i mean does there on the see the feel. And know. If you have those you think a meal here comes with that its just women here. Because they are out of the lets say the course for the family they are responsible for everything. And in the best way to manage their water ration is fight with these women and yes. Its great its really good was entering have to kind of reinforce the message of how it is and how much we need to conserve thats. One refugee has been on the water wise women. I meet up with. Who is now one of the initiatives by successful women she sets up her own business and employs five other female comments. So the as you know when in my. Opinion this was a. That. Moment. Is essential now the left before. You eat caffeine. And i mean look at the way. Its clear that water shortages across the globe a driving people to find creative and sustainable solutions. New designs such as this mesh like structure meets european converting pets to drinking and. Other devices and looking to the power of the sun to help solve water in countries like ecuador. And gone. To the on to mine who says are addressed to skies to continue to spread its innovations like these provide time to tweak and adapt in the meantime. A new level of luxury has arrived.
