drain groundwater is really bad idea when the groundwater recharging rate is slower than draining rate. which means your land will dry out. for worst, your land will sink along with buildings nearby collapsing. talking from the point of civil engineering's geotechnical engineering.

I concure with your points. The problem is those countries under critical water stress are among the countries that waste large quantity of water with inefficient Agriculture. They should invest more on water recycling and desalinaisation than investing their billions on buying more and modern wepons.
"I looked up and saw a horse whose color was pale green. Its rider was named Death, and his companion was the Grave.

Worldwide environmental topics should be on the TOP PRIORITY lists. Instead of denying climate change, there should be a global understanding that the most important resource for humans and wildlife is WATER. Not oil, not gold, not money. As usual it is horrific to having to wait for real action to be taken until it is too late. Humans are both the most brilliant and the most disgusting species on this beautiful planet.
For a country to develope, apart from natural resources like iron and aluminum, water any energy are the most important rescouses to make it move forward. Let us reduce the speed of development until we get solutions to aquire these two rescouse else we will couse wars.
At the same time one company like Nestle has like 6 or 7 springs in Florida that we know where they fills millions of bottles of water and then they sell it to us 🤔
They are doing that to the Great Lakes from Michigan too. Water bottle companies are a double threat in my opinion one is redistribution on a massive scale for exorbitant prices and the other is the plastic problem they exasperate. There are companies wanting to build infrastructure to send the Great Lakes water to many states far away and I can't see the ecosystem surviving it. It would create problems bigger than our country has ever seen. I don't believe our problems are anywhere near some of the countries they're showing here but if we mess to much with natural resources it could be. As is we are just managing to keep invasive species of fish from the Mississippi, caused by fish farming, from invading our lakes and causing a meltdown of natural species. We already have the invasive Snakehead fish and invasive Zebra Muscles brought in by sea ships causing problems.
What's the problem? What's the difference between nestle bottling the water and Coca-cola doing the same but adding sugar to the bottle as well. No one is forcing you to buy the water nestle is bottling.
What a great job supplying water to the people that need it to survive 🏆 I would be on such a high all the time if i was involved in humanitarian efforts like this.
they are digging these holes so that instead of the water going to the "natural" sources etc they get sucked up by these criminals who sell it for just a little cheaper than the alternative. they arent saviours, they are making the problem worse.

This is a problem that affects the whole world. I think Europe in particular will have a lot more problems if the Middle Eastern countries are not able to change their water supply. And if China completes this project, I think we will all be involved in the water crisis in China, northeast India, and Bangladesh, because China has so much power, connections, and so many inhabitants.

Humans have this habit of only correcting a deadly error a bit to late. Climate change is no longer preventable, it is inevitable. Things are about to get a whole lot worse. Even if we completely change our infrastructure immediately (good luck with that) millions if not billions of people ARE going to die. People are all ready dying now, with a shortage. When water becomes the new currency, which it will the way things are headed. Many more will die for the wars many might will have to fight just to have clean water. I love the Mad Max films, but that is definetly not the Sci fi world I would want to live in.
As a species we're clearly at or closely nearing the point where we either change or learn through msjor conflict that we cannot keep growing exponentially. The world will teach us unison or will drag us out of it.
Ps, there is only so much water, most of it 'earth uses' as coolant but if we all start extracting it from saltwater what do those engineers think will happen to the allready salinating seas? Is relocating the problem's epicentre the only 'solution' we can come up with?
It's only going to get worse btw also you couldn't have put it more perfectly sadly I don't see any change in our ways.. which is sad because this is completely unsustainable the fact that something hasn't been done already is a clear sign that it will not change until it is too late... with water crisis comes climate crisis, migration crisis, crop crisis, crime crisis, and all of the other crises I failed to mention....
Why water crisis ? Nowadays water ends up in private swimming pool and big reservoirs controlled by dams. Also there are tons of gallons of water residing in supermarket stocked with high price tag.
This is another great documentary. Those countries which are on this documentary were in that place for thousands of years. There was no complication based on water. What makes the case of water complicated today? 1. Those water scarce countries are among the major countries that waste water. 2. Politics and a feeling of controlling a source of the water is the other major reason. 3. Those downstream countries doesn't care to for upstream countries. At list they should compensate economically for the resources they use. It is an ego and a sense of only me that is sparking a conflict on a water which adequately found for every one if used properly.
None of your answers to your own question has any logic. A very simple explanation of why 1000 of years we didn't have this problem but now we have, simply boils down to 2 realistic reasons: 1. Growing population and its need of water (Compare the population boom in the last 100 years with the last 1000 years), 2. Water getting dried up of climatic change, which is again is a consequence of growing human population necessities.
@popeye dog The amount of water it takes to grow the amount of vegetables equivalent to a whole cow cant be very far off. Why is no one bringing up the fact that people are bringing 3-5 children into this world that cant support the population we have now? If i was in the middle of a war torn, waterless environment, i would have never thought of bringing my SINGLE child into the world.
Eat less meat if you can. What is hardly ever mentioned in these programs is that the water use in animal agriculture is wastly higher than plant agriculture.
@@BrandonB_steppin Wild animals are not a problem. Farm animals are a gigantic problem. To name just one example, cattle ranching and animal feed farming are the NUMBER ONE reason for the 90% of deforestation occuring in the Amazon.
You have to collect / acquire the water first. when you've done that and once inside that jug, then and only then will it be possible for you to waste it. Think before you speak my friend. what they need is help and not to be ridiculed for their trivial mistakes while they are trying to carry out the tasks they need to literary survive.
What I don't understand is places like California that have an ocean full of water and don't utilize what they have. There are Islands that purifi ocean water to 99 percent or better. I don't think there that there is one drop less than when the earth was created. But we should be concerned of the way pollute our resources and take everything for granted.
Here in Uruguay, water is a human right. But in middle east US and OTAN had the great idea of creating the 'arab spring'. Result: caos in Lybia (and russians and chinese now there), chaos in Syria, more undercover dictatorship en Egypt, and of course, joy in Israel, and the 'democratic' kingdoms around.
This is so very disheartening.. Everybody should have access to clean water, as well as food.. It's extremely difficult to witness, and it only makes me feel more fortunate for what I have available here as a U.S Citizen.. God bless every human being, for we are all equal, we all bleed the same color, and we all have the same needs to survive. Stay safe all.
Rising sea water is a saltwater which is polluted extremely and expensive to desalination it. But desalinisation is atlist one good investment than investing on weapons.
Save water? What about people getting smarter and actually try to learn how to remove salt from salt water...? Imagine dying of thirst next to the ocean without erven trying to treat the water, distillate it ...
main problem is alot of people dont want to pay higher for tap water (cost of filtering rivers, dams and lakes). they would rather pay less for pump "free" water from the wells which could be contaminated by faeces and chemicals from nearby factories.
That's what happens when you believe God supports your tainted delusion of being chosen. Chosen..... to be ridiculed for an unloving hypocrisy. For not learning a thing from recent history.
The biggest issue with desalinization is the energy consumption. Once we get away from fossil fuels the environmental impact will drastically decrease and it will be much more viable than it is currently.
This is one of the plethora of reasons I decided never to bring children into this world. We're at the peak of decadence, waste & at the starting point of mass deterioration etc. This world is def fkd in 100 years. So glad I'll be dead by then. :)

Humans have this habit of only correcting a deadly error a bit to late. Climate change is no longer preventable, it is inevitable. Things are about to get a whole lot worse. Even if we completely change our infrastructure immediately (good luck with that) millions if not billions of people ARE going to die. People are all ready dying now, with a shortage. When water becomes the new currency, which it will the way things are headed. Many more will die for the wars many might will have to fight just to have clean water. I love the Mad Max films, but that is definetly not the Sci fi world I would want to live in.
This series is not available on Disney+ in the U.S.
As a species we're clearly at or closely nearing the point where we either change or learn through msjor conflict that we cannot keep growing exponentially. The world will teach us unison or will drag us out of it.
Ps, there is only so much water, most of it 'earth uses' as coolant but if we all start extracting it from saltwater what do those engineers think will happen to the allready salinating seas? Is relocating the problem's epicentre the only 'solution' we can come up with?
Are we to continue this dance until the bleak truth punches us in the face? People need to die. We, are. Too, many.
It's only going to get worse btw also you couldn't have put it more perfectly sadly I don't see any change in our ways.. which is sad because this is completely unsustainable the fact that something hasn't been done already is a clear sign that it will not change until it is too late... with water crisis comes climate crisis, migration crisis, crop crisis, crime crisis, and all of the other crises I failed to mention....
This is crazy I thought it was a war for oil
Why water crisis ?
Nowadays water ends up in private swimming pool and big reservoirs controlled by dams.
Also there are tons of gallons of water residing in supermarket stocked with high price tag.
Do you not realize reservoirs are drying up? The Hoover dam is 100 feet lower than it was 10 years ago.
Nice contents. Interesting and informative to watch.
Yeah. Even here in The Netherlands we sometimes have water shortage problems.
That makes you think, right?
Gfbbd
No you don't. You have a political problem.
No true, that was one time when it was really hot…
@@wappcreations6100 Indeed. So even here in Holland we sometimes have problems with water....
@@tokiburoak7457 Explain......
I’ve drank a gallon of water watching this
This is another great documentary. Those countries which are on this documentary were in that place for thousands of years. There was no complication based on water. What makes the case of water complicated today? 1. Those water scarce countries are among the major countries that waste water. 2. Politics and a feeling of controlling a source of the water is the other major reason. 3. Those downstream countries doesn't care to for upstream countries. At list they should compensate economically for the resources they use. It is an ego and a sense of only me that is sparking a conflict on a water which adequately found for every one if used properly.
Your number 1. is incorrect.
The countries that are running out of water the quickest are not the ones that were wasting the most water.
None of your answers to your own question has any logic. A very simple explanation of why 1000 of years we didn't have this problem but now we have, simply boils down to 2 realistic reasons: 1. Growing population and its need of water (Compare the population boom in the last 100 years with the last 1000 years), 2. Water getting dried up of climatic change, which is again is a consequence of growing human population necessities.
@popeye dog The amount of water it takes to grow the amount of vegetables equivalent to a whole cow cant be very far off. Why is no one bringing up the fact that people are bringing 3-5 children into this world that cant support the population we have now? If i was in the middle of a war torn, waterless environment, i would have never thought of bringing my SINGLE child into the world.
Eat less meat if you can. What is hardly ever mentioned in these programs is that the water use in animal agriculture is wastly higher than plant agriculture.
Yep! So is fracking.
Animals is NOT the problem.
@@BrandonB_steppin Exactly!!
@@BrandonB_steppin Wild animals are not a problem. Farm animals are a gigantic problem. To name just one example, cattle ranching and animal feed farming are the NUMBER ONE reason for the 90% of deforestation occuring in the Amazon.
@@bear211 boy u r from ranchers. I never had a problem with cows or wild life. Just humans waste water.
06:39 Unfortunate choice of visuals to the statement; "No one is wasting a drop of water now..."
You have to collect / acquire the water first. when you've done that and once inside that jug, then and only then will it be possible for you to waste it. Think before you speak my friend. what they need is help and not to be ridiculed for their trivial mistakes while they are trying to carry out the tasks they need to literary survive.
@@Anotherdaynparadise
Don't be so ridiculous, your comment makes no sense at all.
They keep spilling the precious water like...
Great job of helping the people get nice and clean water🤩
"nobody is wasting water" pans to clip of plastic bin being filled with water with half the water splattering on the floor

After seeing this feeling ashamed as a human.....
What I don't understand is places like California that have an ocean full of water and don't utilize what they have. There are Islands that purifi ocean water to 99 percent or better. I don't think there that there is one drop less than when the earth was created. But we should be concerned of the way pollute our resources and take everything for granted.
Hydro Hegemon! Liquid Leviathan! Water Warlords!
Here in Uruguay, water is a human right. But in middle east US and OTAN had the great idea of creating the 'arab spring'. Result: caos in Lybia (and russians and chinese now there), chaos in Syria, more undercover dictatorship en Egypt, and of course, joy in Israel, and the 'democratic' kingdoms around.
Order out of Chaos is their motto.
Do some research ... it's their own gov doing it
Thanks youtube for ruining this video with a freaking ad every two minutes

Way too many ads
This is so very disheartening.. Everybody should have access to clean water, as well as food.. It's extremely difficult to witness, and it only makes me feel more fortunate for what I have available here as a U.S Citizen..
God bless every human being, for we are all equal, we all bleed the same color, and we all have the same needs to survive.
Stay safe all.

And many cities in the US do not have safe drinking water

The thing is about the water thing is that developed countries such as canada, usa, etc will never run out.
Worst case, we'll come take the water.
They already are. Look it up!!

They fight and struggle for every drop of water....
Also, they have 15 kids.

if the water its so important why the government let the factories or companies vert all waste on rivers lakes etc etc
That pile of life jackets was reminiscent of the pile of shoes at the Holocaust museum.
People won't know the value of water until they have to go without it..😑
watching this video made me turn on all of my taps for a full 24 hours.
Thx for the wonderful doc
They say Australia needs to take in more people, refugees and alike, but, we don't have the water to sustain and do this either.
We should use the rising sea levels for water
Rising sea water is a saltwater which is polluted extremely and expensive to desalination it. But desalinisation is atlist one good investment than investing on weapons.

Canada - My room - Bathroom - Tap - Worth millions
We should seriously take action now to save water
Save water? What about people getting smarter and actually try to learn how to remove salt from salt water...? Imagine dying of thirst next to the ocean without erven trying to treat the water, distillate it ...
@@ignoranceisstrenght1984 like in Israel. Check out how they get clean water in a desert.....amazing and simple
War for WATER
Instead of following the sun, I guess we will now follow the water.
Now I understand the Georgia guidestones, someday we will run out of water.
Water is life
A great show
main problem is alot of people dont want to pay higher for tap water (cost of filtering rivers, dams and lakes). they would rather pay less for pump "free" water from the wells which could be contaminated by faeces and chemicals from nearby factories.
No matter what happens my family and I with a few close friends will be OK
What about me !
That's what most think only for it to happen and them boom regret starts

peace for water for all our life.
Good program! It’s crazy how the Israelis continue to support such hateful and dehumanizing practices towards the Palestinians.
That's what happens when you believe God supports your tainted delusion of being chosen. Chosen..... to be ridiculed for an unloving hypocrisy. For not learning a thing from recent history.
The hate on both sides has reached a point where people simply don't care.
Check out how Dubai has been able to increase rain fall by 15 percent!!
water is life
Five years old docu but so precarious.
There is much too much wastage by the black-market water trade . There has got to be a better way to save so much less of the water being lost .
Desalination. With Sea levels promised to rise. Desalination is a solution not only for water shortage but for Sea Leval rise. Wake Up people.
favourite.topiccc I.was wanted video on this topic🤘🖤
Maybe we should figure out how ocean fish can suvive in saltwater, and maybe we could too.
Seems the world governments better start investing in water desalination before it's too late for us all.
The biggest issue with desalinization is the energy consumption. Once we get away from fossil fuels the environmental impact will drastically decrease and it will be much more viable than it is currently.
... problem for the consumer is coming up with the money to pay for the skyrocketing price of the water.
So….Michael James Burry is right?
i quit drinking tap water because it has a funny taste and im concerned there is something in the water their not telling us about
There plenty of water for us all if not interapted by wars or any other human problems.
This is one of the plethora of reasons I decided never to bring children into this world. We're at the peak of decadence, waste & at the starting point of mass deterioration etc.
This world is def fkd in 100 years. So glad I'll be dead by then. :)
