- Forbes 30under30 Entrepreneur, Hamza Farrukh, and his team at Bondh E Shams (The Solar Water Project) have developed a cost-effective and transportable solution for the global water crisis. Their innovation, the OASIS BOX (Off-Grid Aqua Solar Integration System) provides 25 years of safe water to 2,000 people in just $10,000. Each liter of water is 3,000 times less expensive than bottled water and is delivered free of cost to vulnerable communities; Bondh E Shams have begun work in Pakistan, Bangladesh & South Sudan and want to reach every single one of the 1.2bn people without safe water. Could this be the most scalable tool in our fight against the global water crisis?
Founder, Bondh-E-Shams This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
came looking for this after reading about Chennai water crisis, This guy is someone pakistan should be proud of.
Me also
being pakistani, i am proud of him.
Being Pakistani, I am proud of him. Bunch of talented and empathetic people has been born and raised on my beloved homeland.
pumping out ground water is not a permanent solution to water crisis
We just withdraw don't deposit
Reverse Osmosis..... Water shortage issue solved smh
But it is a solution.
But the filtration method is, you could drink sea water with this device.
@@randy4372 no, that's a different process you need to do
There is need of paradigm shift in people's mindset regarding the climate change.
I need that
Climate change is a HOAX
@@infinitelystoned5812 elaborate more please. Where did you find this information?
@@infinitelystoned5812 proof?
Extraction of water underground is a great solution, undoubtedly. But a recharge pipe must be also gone underground so that a balance keep maintained there underground. Other wise it maybe lead to disaster.
Hmmm... yes and no.
Generally groundwater tends to recharge from regional underground systems. For example, hills, mountains etc. kilometers away and are normally large volumes of water. But You would need to conduct a Groundwater Yield test - to see how much you can abstract at a 'sustainable rate' - to make sure outflows dont deplete the aquifer.
Direct piping into the ground from this box, may lead to potential contamination. People might be touching the pipe, they may have stepped on feace etc. This dirt could force ecoli and bacteria into water to which you are abstracting. Although the system seems like it cater to that - contaminating a groundwater source wouldn't be a good idea
Here in india 😣 we are facing same situation.
hi prafulla....
this is becaus we give more importance to the video of Slow motion song rather than a self awareness water crisis reversal video....some of us take water for granted.
India is ruled by economic hitmans, untill they create artificial mismanagement, you Indians will be engaged in fulfilling the basic needs only, so it will easy to rule over you, you are ruled by economic hitmans puppet
This solution might not work in India as we have ran out of ground water also .
Lemme shine light on this.
Reality check of current situations in India.
75% Household's do not have drinking water on premises.
84% Rural Household's do not have piped water access.
70% Of our water is contaminated.
2 Lakh people dies every year due to in adequate access to safe water.
40% of population will have no access to drinking water by 2030. If we don't do anything.
21 CMES will run out of ground water by 2020. Affecting 100 millions.
As sir Modi ji said. Till 2024, almost every house LL have drinking water supplied. But about the rest of the years? May be if we had thought about this earlier like other countries, on how to harvest rain water could have saved so many people life. Rather than building bullet trains and big statues.
I would also to address that we are still lagging on health, proper education, employment and many other things. Which are basic needs.
On Point !
Well said!
Arjun Kumar Singh just spoke the truth. And I say a lot more than this. How our government wasting our country money. Another eg is election. India is in top most for wasting money in elections as well. All our money is getting wasted.
@@AnimatorGautam Exactly. Just because water crisis doesnt SEEM to be an issue that resonates with the entire electorate right now, no party is bothered to take any action. They fail to realise that they have borrowed this world from the next generation and not bought it from the previous one
Only rain harwasting rain is getting scanty year by year then what will we be harwasting.
It would be great if you can incorporate rain water harvesting also within this
Absolutely right
will cause more fires.
@@TheFreemanukhow ?
Farrukh, You have really done most valuable work for mankind. Keep it up
Excellent work Hamza and team! Keep it up
But I think that there is a limit for ground level water too. what if ground level waters is too low actually we facing similar condition in india where ground level water is very low
Bole Sahi baat!!!👍👍🙄
Kuch karna bhi hai ya comments likhna hai bas ?
Bhai mai tayar hu. Bas kaise karna hai batao..
His solution is half baked. Sorry for the term!
Replenishment of underground water hasn't been touched. RWH Pits, Recharge Wells, Quantum of Rainfall, Afforestation percentage, Green Surface. These are extremely crucial areas to address. Which he hasn't.
He's using solar power to extract groundwater and filter it up. Across India this is happening. Though the filtration isn't there, mostly. But solar is powering the borewells, communities have joined among themselves and using the services.
What is lacking in India......Already mentioned above. Those are the primary reasons for water crisis in India. apart from humongous population explosion and approval of consistent urban master plans. Simply cementisatising & concretising of the earth surface. Resulting to the Chennai disaster! other cities are in RAC not even waiting list.
Everything has a limit this idea is for a region which does not have access to electricity. If they have access to electricity they can take out water by their own. Still something is better than nothing.
70% of Maharashtra, India, was affected by water shortage this year. While some of the areas have low rainfall, even those regions have heavy rainfall in Western Maharashtra (Kokan) face severe water crisis in summer. In Dapoli, Ratnagiri District, we have an average rainfall of 3938 mm/year. Yet, during the months of March, April and May, we have an acute water shortage. This is mainly because of lack of water management and conservation. Groundwater resources are overly exploited and there is no one willing to harvest the rainwater to refill these sources. Educating the people on water conservation and preservation is the need of the day.
This is extremely inspiring!
"Problems of the future are closer than they appear"💧
ugh are they snapping? this man deserved applauds!
It's seems not a theoretical boring session but a practical Great job
In our country, India situation is also going worse Day by day. If we will not think about the issue of water crisis India then we have to suffer.
General awareness for water conservation nd population control is really now one of the most significant topic to heed on instead of focusing on political issues.
Keep it up bro lots of love from ind
Great work.... Just out of curiosity, is there any maintenance?
Currently working on providing water in Pakistan! Hoping to see this flourish!
Really amazing work. As an aside, aquafers are an unsustainable solution to the world's water crises. They take millennia to fill, and at our rate of use, will not replenish fast enough to be a permanent solution.
Great work man. One still need to find a source of water, the underground water doesn't exist everywhere and it also cost to dig the tunnel. A better business model would be more useful rather than charity. The people that you are asking for money, in their mind they think the local government should be responsible for giving clean water to their communities (I had chat with a few). Only a few conscious people in the first world going to help your charity work. Majority of these rich people most of the time don't care much about the poor people in Africa. If you really want to scale your idea and have a big impact on the planet, you have to take this as a profit making venture.
Very good innovation to solve water crisis. But when we are using ground water then shouldn't we also find some solid way to recharge the ground water also? What about rain water harvesting?
I am from India and recent reports from govt i come to know that in india ground water level is also deeped by 60% as we people have over accessed it. Lakes and other water bodies are totally dried.
India will be worst hit due to water crisis,
Water problems couldn't be solved by one solution. But to sustainably use ground water, we have to monitor usage. The most difficult to recharge is deep water aquifers (artesis ?). So, it's okay as long as we know how much the aquifer is allowed to supply and how much the people allowed to take.
Balance should be made between consumption and replacement of ground water,as the ground water levels are rapidly declining and more efforts should be made on conserving rainwater and obviously the effective use of water.
The best way to conserve rain water is to regenerate the soil.
If you want to solve problem then innovate like this genius
it's not permanent but its a solution
sometimes a temporary solution is needed in order to come up with something bigger
👏👏👏 excellent initiative bro. 👍
We should try this India,we have to take immediate steps to conserve water & to increase ground water level.
So this is a solar powered pump and filtration system to be placed at a drilled well? Do you have one designed that is atmospheric water generator based pulling water from humid air rather than from a well for when that is not an option? Thx (Thinking of the need in Laligu, Ghana for example.)
In each village the people should create an artificial lake ie one floor deep and spread the mud around to increase the level of land. So that when it rains the water from surrounding areas fill in the huge pit. A parkk can be constructed aroun the pit
Which when dry in summer can be used as children's playground.
Great work.
Proud to be Pakistani.
I would love to see the bill of materials for the box because the numbers don't add up.
what about ocean purifiers? if we installed some now, by the time we ran out of pure water from frozen ice or lakes or whatever, we'd have a huge backup. and not like the ocean would ever run out of water. would be impossible.
That's really great man.
Well done this guy knows what he is talking about. This should be an educational video for schools all round the world!
While this is wonderful for the short term (25 years like you said) what about long term ? 100 years horizon ? Time to really think "out of the box" and look at that longer picture. Preserve ground water, come up with solutions like waste water treatment or desal (where ever possible)
there has to be some way to replenish the ground water table.not just taking the water from ground and using it
We must plant more trees, Start Ground water table recharging plants, Drip irrigation, etc measures to improve problem created by us
D video is all about water contamination nt abt water crisis....
Wat to do for areas that hv completely dried up after deforestation urbanisation & concretisation 10k dollar is too much wen u can do it for free
Well done brother, i would love to do something like you😊😊😊
My DNA I can fix water in many ways ! Life is Water people need clean Water to live !❣️
brother Thankx alot you have no idea how much i love u for this
and thanks to show Pakistan in good book
Good job..
Great, Very good
That face (Aisha) is one of the most beautiful faces I've ever seen
😮 never knew that.😊
Good idea, where underground water is not exploited. in many places in India, people are drilling more than 300 feet to get water. We need a way to conserve water, and using them. We need ways to refill the underground water.
Someone needs to offer a billion dollar prize to anyone who can find a cost effective method of desalinating sea water. By "cost effective" I mean competitive with the watershed in temperate climates. Also, the cost of disposal of waste brine would have to be included.
The thing is it have barely rained ths year where I live in (a small city in Gujarat) and there was already water shortage in march-april!! Which have never happened!!
I am convinced in 5 years this is gonna be worse
Best of luck for future
U made it great
We should appreciate these innovative and helping minds though the solution this guy has come up with are not environmental ly sustainable .
It's a replacement to power a typical borewell than conventional electricity. Additionally, it aids in filtering of contaminated underground water. Which is important for health.
But he did not focused over the replenishment element. Aquifers are often deep beneath the ground. It's basically fossil water. If rainwater is available in, whatever proportion. It has to seep inside the ground, regularly. Through rainwater harvesting pits or recharge wells. Even without them, rainwater would percolate through the surface, crossing the multiple layers beneath the earth surface and finally replenishing the aquifers.
If the above cycle is not happening and only extraction is happening. Results would be devastating. To get rains in the area, steps like Afforestation and Green Planning to be initiated, as primarily these areas are rural and arid.
What i don't understand is how did he run that setup in just 7 minutes. He is supposed to make a hole in the ground right?
@@strengthhonour8594 Smartly skipped it! Yes, a hole, termed bore-well, to be dug. Which require a lot of time.
Is this contraption collecting water from the atmosphere or dependent on underground water ?
If it is dependent on underground water then the girl in Euthopia wiil still have to treck for her water .
Extracting a finite source , water, from the earth.
This is an emergency temporary solution.
Rainwater recharging of the earth, and water conservation, should be the way forward next.
Extracting water from the moisture in the air, would be a equally good method.
You understand that the water doesn't go away right. It is finite but doesn't disappear. It is somewhere be it a cloud, a lake, a polluted ditch..it just eventually evaporates and rains down again somewhere else. If we clean and keep our water SOURCES clean then you have good access...but the amount of water on Earth is the same as always. If someone drains the aquafier it's not gone..it's somewhere else
You are proud of chakwal❤❤❤❤
the only issue is ground water is disappearing too and big companies are drilling WAY deeper than the average person can and it dries up higher water wells with in a LARGE area of land the largest groundwater in america is drying up because people are not RECYCLING water but american also us ablou 100 -175 gallons a day when you should really use 15 if not less
Primary water in the Earth's mantle is 5x more abundant than all the seas in the world! It's abundant. We simply need to tap into the pure abundant resource beneath us....all over the world. Drilling down 60-100ft. Is not an aquifer but the Earth's primary water source. Xoxo 💕
This is awesome. I just wanna to ask that what about groundwater level. How will it refill??? Pls answer.
Rainfall
@@universaum in some cases, as in Rajasthan,. Rainfall takes thousand years to reach thosea aqufierd.
Live like our ancestors is the solution
Brilliant 🙂
Wonderful
Great 🔥
This was incredible to watch ! What a great representation of 🇵🇰 , just how exceptional to watch him wearing his cultural attires ! Keep shining young man
WHERE DOES AQUIFER GET RECHARGED IF YOU REMOVE CONTINUESLY............
Go with Kickstarter or Indigogo or other to Jumpstart Fundraiser so that you can retain as much control of your product and company as possible. There are many stories of what happens when you become a corporate or dragon or angel investor victim and loose any say in your company.
video is fast forwarded to end up in 7 min,, but great talk overall ..
No! Actual timeline is not fast forwarded!!! Just the 7 min long video is fast forwarded to fit in his speech for required amount of time (he can't play a complete 7 min long video in real time out of 18 mins given to complete the speech!!!)
Trunz watersystems has this products already, for saltwater too
Hamza studies at north Adams and innovates for well being, others go abroad and then blows themselves up in the name of god .
I like hamza
Be like hamza..👍👍
Does it filter Arsenic and Floride, two big issues in this part of Mexico...
Can we think ofa ny water crisis management plans..... it will better
In the future people need to be more smarter
How will this resolve water crisis by depleting under-ground water aquifers? Depletion of ground water is a major aspect of the water crisis, this solution will only compound it. Right?
How to support or contact your team
Presenter is high on himself. Nonetheless, Good initiative!
Aquifers are drying, what do you have to say on that?
Sir - There is no Ground water - what is teh solution?
Aquifers are drying
We do a lot of water wastage. If we stop wasting water by using water saving products on taps, we can save a lot of water for the needy. We can have much more water for the needy places as spoken by you.
I do the water saving products and save water wastage.
Very nice thought of helping people having access to pure water however this is doing nothing to recharge the underground water. Ultimately what will you filter when there is no water.
Water doesn't ever disappear. It does get polluted but even when you drink it it comes out again in sweat or urine and evaporates to rain somewhere else again
But what about the areas where there isn't ground water available?
Taking out of aquifers is causing a much larger water crisis than we have now. In fact, aquifers are already greatly depleted.
Watch from 07:07
I dont understand the dislikes
What tech fulfills water for thar desert people?
If this could be possible, we people ought to bring to our country where it lacks fresh drinking water. And Atleast we could be feed thousands people from water crisis.
Develop you life style. Mine is: collect air conditioner water perhaps in buckets. Never waste water warming up the shower. Collect it in bucket. Use that water to fill up toilet tank after flushing. (OR outside plants, etc).
Exactly what we had to do when we had a dry summer 2 years back. It was the first time I had experienced life with no steady supply of water.
It was terrifying.
Underground water dries out; it’s a real problem. It is still a useful product, takes care of a portion of the problem, it alone doesn’t solve the water crisis. How did they allow such an overstating caption?
I think there r two alternative now..either work for environmental problem or enjoy while u can.....go to himalayas and meditate... That's it
What if there's no ground water left..??
Editing mistake at 26 sec..one frame
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
3:21- She's one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen
Important to get messages across, it's problematic but for this kind of issue I suppose we have to design the message as best as we can to galvanize support for these kinds of things.
The reality terrifies me when i see the turbine of my society wapda town Lahore extacting water from 600 feet and drivers washing cars running pipe flowing this drinking water. Flushing toilets, floor ceaning with the same precious water. I don’t know how to start awareness. Im thinking too much.
we're so proud to have young people like you in Pakistan, who serve themselves for the sake of humanity!! May Allah make your journey successful & easy!!
Unless and until populations are controlled no measure will work
Bingo!
Good job hamza
Where can I get the text of this video? very necessary, pleeeaasee 🥺🥺
well i think harvesting rain water and afforestation can help reducing the water scarcity.
This is a great innovation , but however wouldnt taking water from underground lead to groundwater depletion , which could be a even greater disaster in the future?
Problem is depressing ground water
