Of water now according to the World Health Organization each of these 25 to 50 liters of water every day to day care for health and hygiene 3 in 10 people around the world lack safe readily available water at home and organization in delhi is trying something out of the books by converting sewage water into clean portable water can it really work lets take a closer look. At. Every morning it is the same battle for voting for the residents of this district of south delhi with no reliable source of it from the party the residents of nothing. Have to line up every morning to get water from tankers like this one believe their daily needs. It is a friend. 16 every day i see people bush and joseph each other through their guns ahead of their lives sometimes trigger. If they plan to get the most out what only source some mornings there are so many people you would think that is unfair on everyone is struggling to fill cans not arguments fights even accidents wondering what the biggest problem we wish they would fix traps in all our houses just like they had installed electricity like you got was in the. The tanker 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 demand. On the new observer biggest problem in the little day is there a litany of clean water a lot of work has gone into cleaning efforts etc but there is and arjen need to address the issue of making more the water level it would. Imagine is taking place rapidly and with it their demand for water is rising just as fast. These river may provide the answer to the complex problem of water supply in the city. At the site invest daily the daily gel bowed out installed an innovative plan that creates toxic seepage and transforms it into Drinking Water all using a natural process. The plant is part of the environmental startup absolute water and the toilet to tap technology was created by the Father Daughter Team of smith and sunil single. This whole idea came about is also because i have seen personally in my own home where the sewage line and the Drinking Water supply line normally gets mixed up especially in their teens so at that point of it is you know it was it was crazy i mean you could smell it in your by your being you know you were having stomach issues you were having infections and all that kind of stuff so it was about what can one do about this and ive seen kids playing and so would what you know its quite disheartening to watch so thats where the whole concept came about. In 2015 delhi was round a list of the 20 largest cities in the world experiencing water stress water. For the citys needs water access it remains a glaring problem for the government but an activist who had to spend a lifetime working to conserve. Insists the problem is not just availability. There live for us. Is over the plate as far as waterstones. City of venice is anywhere in the world does not get the kind of water there any gets. 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 got it rain water into the young one out of often called delis lifeline. Today it contributes 60 percent of the total waste water discharge from daily into the young women. 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 border every day providing safe Drinking Water and helping solve seawitch pollution indra. Just collected from the surrounding districts. And crush and. Remove 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. Think existed some people are. Using the. Me. From 50 degrees which experience this. Approach. To keep those. And also the toxicity that is present in the words because in india. Which. Technology the water is converted into. High quality Drinking Water which meets. The concrete. The technology is relatively expensive but in the long. The most important thing is the operational cost which. The other most important is that being green we are not subject very heavy so therefore. Is the west so all in all its a full sustainable. System and it is. Astonishing the the transport corporation is having to use hundreds of meters of this water to wash public buses. The biggest challenge remains to commence girlies residents of the idea. Of the recycled water is good enough to drink. Ringback absolute water has installed a recycling plant. Is used only externally. And the mind set at the end of. That. And if they were to look at the pipeline distribution its coming to the exact same were trying to tell them that you know it doesnt matter how it comes to you when you dont have water the water whatever you want to do. Recycled water is already drunken finger pool and california overcoming acceptance barriers as possible. The demand for water in india is expected to double over the next decade and to move this demand effective and targeted Water Management solutions are the need of the un estimates that globally with 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 freshwater 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 all reliable supply. And safe water causes more deaths than disasters and conflicts 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 and to 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 a washing up 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. There are 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 washbasin say toilets and 3 or and also eyepiece well sisters 17 and elizabeth felt set up novato 8 years ago theyre both former i t professionals who are looking for a Career Change this. 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. Just. The answer 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. And with mr wesson. 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 as 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 your thats what it looks clean and that binds the odor so it doesnt smell or rather it smells like wood shavings. And thats it. Look at she never 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. What they retrieved from the various rental toilets and 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 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 get work in dense urban settings 17 thanks and thats very unfortunate what morning media 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. But 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 feds is certain that we wont be able to use Drinking Water to flush toilets forever. Now many communities depend on water extensively for their livelihood take for example the bathtub style makers from. Is with missing the worst drought in 30 years their dilemma is to choose between producing heap synthetic fabric that will harm the environment and producing their traditional fabric which is cleaner and cleaner but consumes more water. The state of gujarat is known for being colorful this reputation comes from its traditional textile industry and the vibrant fabrics and prints used to make the garments. A signature textile here is by dick a method of dying cloth using vax in patent areas the most famous practitioners of this craft are the company community. 38 year old shaquille is the 5th generation of his family to continue this elegant tradition. Who are dzhokhar never incest or splitted greens they would use fruits from the blue tree the are from the seeds of these roots is what they use. All the colors of their natural. Like indigo black from iron rust or yellow from. There did not have too many colors to choose from back then 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 it god 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. Come on our water study this way 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 old technique of using natural dice you know what technique would only technique. Can be revived in the water can be used so the consumption of motor will be reduced substantially 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 Movement 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. And their children ever since we started using natural dies there has been a growing respect for them if theres anything that is argument is a little more expensive because it is. But i feel that the future is brighter for natural are going to. Say the other natural levels other than. The artisans are taking 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 present evaporation and groundwater formation are expected to follow a new over the in the future the german venger is preparing for the worst testing new Water Management methods to keep it and to stock up the ground water levels. Ready ready for years there hasnt been enough rainfall here even when a downpour drenched the soil the damaged grain could no longer recover and reach its normal size. The you can see the plants are suffering from stress. Because these leaves are drying out. Normally the plants here would be 4 times as tall. The grain field supporter on a nature reserve which is monitored by park rangers this area used to be a marsh land full of animals like cranes 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 weve normally see a level of 50 centimeters in may. So it would reach up to here. 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 the often say lake is right in the middle. Its where the brandenburg Ranger Association has been testing a Water Management system to combat drought. Ranger months but new poll 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 is easily. Here weve raised the water level here by 20 centimeters in other words the water level in the lake is 20 centimeters harder than it was before. Because the lake water level and the groundwater levels are interconnected the groundwater level has also increased by 2. Centimeters in the swamps of centimeter here in. 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 list will be used to be tane water rather than to allow it to flow that also requires cooperation from local farmers. In coal 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 their views of i and. 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 doesnt seem surprising does it protecting water means protecting ourselves i hope youll be mindful of 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.
