@Kashif Kashmir is and always will be a part of India. Soon POK will be ours again. You need to free balochistan before you think about Kashmir. JAI HIND! #freeBalochistsan
@Kashif Please atleast read the UN resolution of 1948 which talks about plebiscite to be held in the Princely state Jammu and Kashmir. According to the resolution, 1. Pakistan has to first retract all their forces from the land occupied by mujahids. And go back to the original positions before the invasion. 2. If and only if the first condition is satisfied, India should retract military forces from the region and keep only the required police forces to maintain law and order. 3. If and only if the first two conditions are satisfied, plebiscite will be held under UN's supervision. The plebiscite has not yet been held because Pakistan has not satisfied the first condition yet. Surely, both Pakistan and India don't want that to happen because they both don't want to lose waters and a strategically important location in the region to each other or a newly created potentially hostile nation. That's why both India and Pakistan made a pact during 1970s Simla agreement to declare the issue a bilateral issue making the UN resolution null and void. But, the things have become more complicated in recent few decades because, 1. Pakistan gifted parts of J&K (5180 sq km) to China during 1963 (Of course without the consent of Kashmiris). 2. China occupied Aksai Chin and some Eastern parts of J&K during Sino-Indian war of 1962. So, even if Pakistan and India agree to cooperate, China is no way going to give back all the occupied territories of J&K making it impossible for the UN resolution to be implemented in the region.

I’m from Margate, South Africa. It really shook the country to hear Cape Town had no water. We were sending so much water to the city that our water supply went down. To the point where WE had no water on the other side of the country. I literally had to go with buckets to get water from trucks. Luckily I’ve had water since.
Most of the rainwater flows back into the sea. A growing number of villages in India are using water harvesting techniques to recharge and increase groundwater levels and for irrigation. By far cheaper and sustainable than transporting water over long distances or desalination.
happening in Australia too but very slowly. Australian farmers are slow to adapt though mostly because the government pays so much in drought relief they don't have to change. so much water is wasted trying to follow farming and irrigation practices developed for the European climate.

The other thing is storm-water harvesting. Currently most storm water goes straight down the drain and straight back out to sea, whereas if it were collected, the water-cycle basically desalinates the water for you free of charge.
Most water unless from a desalination plant comes from the water-cycle doesn't it?

@Norbert Kausen it would do, but it would add another step, so instead of raining down to the sewage, it would run through your body or through your bathroom, then down the sewage.
In Australia we went through droughts for 5 years, heavy water restrictions etc. Desalination plants built but never used because it rained and rained and rained. Today just about every dam is full to the brim.
East coast only, West coast (Perth) Desal plants running 24 / 7 but we are getting by. Desal plants work, also work well with renewable power so I expect more to be built in the future here.
Hey Everyone! I was in the hospital for a heart issue about 12 days ago. I am okay, just took some time off (hence lack of uploads). I just wanted to leave a caveat here that I cut from the video...the United States and China both have a lot of water, but they consume substantially more water than any other water-rich country (proportional to their amount of water resources). So they are water-rich, but very water stressed countries as well. Also, thank you all for the support. Holy jesus 283k subs!!! Ya'll are amazing
Glad you're well✌Mahe Ohna. Question: in 2006-2011 U.S. Fed Reserve bank issued $15 trillion loans in short term inter-bank notes. This was then established in Bank of England, Scotland drawing daily compound interest. I've not been able to track any movement since 2013 when European Central Banks were billed interest back to U.S. fed which issued those notes interest free. I'm not brilliant on international economics, but isn't that literally sifering value out of Europe into U.S., debt free interest earnings? Be interested what you come up with. Thx.

Luckily vertical farming will help with this problem greatly. Vertical farms only use 10% the average water that it takes normal farms to grow food. That technology will only improve over time.
@@cvictor8999 You can literally just use the same 50 L of water for hydroponics, and when it runs ou the water will evaporate into the air over time so you can make a room that absorbs that water and puts it back into the water reservoir for the building.
it can also solve the problem with the area that is needed for planting if we build giant multi-storey farms. The land for farms is getting smaller, and for this we also cut down forests more often.
And if you find out the reason you will laugh. In Brazil we do not use water as a means of classifying coffee, but air. But in most coffee producing countries they use water to perform the classification, and then put the beans to dry, wasting water, time and energy. Real stupidity.
You bring up a good point, but it's worth noting that the amount of 'blue water' (water from irrigation) used changes drastically depending on what region the coffee is grown. For instance, many parts of Central America require little to no irrigation to grow coffee whereas regions with less consistent rainfall do.

Desalination has a high by product of highly salted water that they just dump back into the ocean. All that heavily salted water is destroying the coastal regions.
desalination is possible right now but to make it economic friendly we would require renewable energy from the solar panels to boil and seperate the salts from water.
@@CadenMotiuk are we sure about that? I don't know about studies about the affection to increase concentration of seawater would affect. Of course it would change conditions for sea animals, but I don't know how much concentration would affect life there
@@felipearandadelgado6873 The concentration of salt in the Dead Sea is almost 10 times higher than the average for the rest of the oceans. This is far too salty for fish and plants and thus, why no wildlife (other than bacteria) live there.
Graphene membranes offer a cost-effective way to desalinate. Another solution is something that I ran into as a fluid power engineer. Whenever you compress air, the water that was in it comes out of it and falls to the bottom of the holding tank or vessel. If we used our windmills to drive air compressors and peacock relief valves to blow off the water that accumulates at the bottom of compressed air holding tanks, we would easily capture a lot of water. The peacock or float valve works as the rising level of water floats up sometimes a level arm that opens a valve at bottom of tank. The surrounding air pressure, usually 150-250 psi, then drives the water out. In industrial pneumatics, this is treated as a nuisance. After all, you have the air accumulator (storage tank) pro provide compressed air power to either process equipment or air-motor driven tools. A simple relief valve at top of tank can ensure that pressure never rises beyond an easily set table and adjustable range. I do not know why we are not doing this on a wide scale.
I totally agree about graphene, and I think it's likely we'll see it become commercially viable in the near future. It also seems like something you could retrofit an existing desalination plant to use (vastly reducing the energy required per unit of fresh water). I think the economics of compressed air energy storage are having a hard time competing with chemical batteries for lifecycle cost, and while fresh water is a nice byproduct, it probably doesn't have enough economic impact to justify compressed air when desalinated water is less than $0.01 per liter.
Honestly we have so much water and so little people using it even if we do waste it, it will be okay. But don’t get me wrong we need strict water conservation laws to make sure we keep a such as possible
Sadly there are still many communities on water advisories in Canada. I’m from Toronto and there is a reservation 30 min away that don’t have drinkable tap water. With how much water we have it shouldn’t be someone’s reality living here 😔
Well, yeah. If something is cheap, people will waste it. If it's expensive, they will be more careful with it. I don't see that as a bad thing. After all, it is cheap.
@@abbyharamis6552 Water aqueducs are always managed by cities/villages. Thus, if the reservation near where you live doesn't have water it's because their reservation didn't build an aqueduc. It isn't the fault of the federal nor of the provincial government
@@PG-3462 It’s actually shared responsibility between the federal government and the reservations. It is up to the federal government to provide sufficient funding for water processing plants because not all reservations have enough money to build it with their money alone. The ISC is responsible for this funding. You can read this for more info www.sac-isc.gc.ca/eng/1314034319353/1533665196191
In india we have various villages partnered with NGOs & replenishing the ground water, paani foundation is doing great, our driest villages are now getting self sufficient on water Also, we are extensively dependent on himalayas, & i dont see hinalayan ice drying out in coming decades
There was no "Mayan Empire", the Maya were a civilization of disparate city-states that shared a common cultural foundation, similarly to the classical Greeks.
No, Brazil should not exist when this time comes, politicians are a big problem and our army its too little in terms of size and a lot behind in tech and power to defend the brazilian territory.
This is why we really need to develop vertical farming, cultured meat and graphene sheets for desalinating salt water. That will radically reduce our need for water and increase our ability to use salt water as drinking water
@Stevie Rios the energy required to extract and refine nuclear materials is more than the energy it produces... the main advantage of nuclear power is how energy dense the fuel is and the fact that it doesn't produce waste locally... The way to go is research on free-energy... it is real and is being suppressed by oil companies who would lose trillions overnight and destroy countries who rely on it as a main source of income, not to mention America who needs that oil only be sold in dollars in order to artificially give value to the dollar... We already have the answers, but human greed stops progress, honestly we have to look at ourselves first and rectify our hearts... the rich don't have power over us, that is why they manipulate and lie, because they cant control.... but it is we that buy into this seduction because of our own greed, we are complicit in our own imprisonment The flashy cars, beautiful women, wealth and power... they seduce us with our desires, that is why shows like the Kardashians, showing beautiful rich women are so popular, but don't blame them, blame ourselves for being seduced... it is our vanity that enslaves us
Perth Western Australia has 2 desalination plants that makes up about 48% of the cities water supplies. Costly, but better then the past, when there were major water restrictions.
Den Fool, the govt has sold our water to the highest bidder, watering investment crops. Giving farmers zero allocation. They have done this through drought, diverted rivers, killed fish. They let towns run out of water, putting restrictions on Australians water use. For their Murry River Basin Scam. Water runs past farmers land and they cant touch it or afford the water prices. Govt kept doing this also through fire & covid. Still no water allocation to farmers. Borders are closed. Farmers need to plant crops now. Just add water! Hunger games? Honestly wake up to what's really going on. Control food & water, control the people. Do some research. BTW, FYI, Section 100 of our original 1900 constitution says you can't sell water. There is currently a high court case in process in the UK against our govt violating our constitutional rights.

Which is something I do believe they are in breach of.
@@jaredheine4076 abridge the right of a State or of the residents therein" means that the commonwealth (Federal Government) can't control the rivers and water supply, the States have control of the rivers and water supply, State Governments.

It is part of the reason why Communist China occupies Tibet where most of rivers of both China and the Indian subcontinent originate. There are already concerns with dams reducing flow into the Brahmaputra. But on the positive side, India's control of most of Kashmir means that India has control over the sources of most of Pakistan's water. Pakistan, which is always on the brink of economic bankruptcy, also has the third least amount of accessible water per capita so it is very vulnerable. The Indus Treaty regulates how much of the water India can keep for itself - and India has not violated this. However, after recent terrorist attacks by the Paks, Indian PM Modi decided to take up all of India's allocation [in the past India had been generous in not taking all we were entitled to] as one of the counter-measures against the Terrorist-stan.
Except we are at the point where we have the tech to generate water from our atmosphere or filter generic water. Yet people fight over springs and mountainous waters... Had the industry not pollute river waters or streams we'd still have them.

From my point of view, we need to focus on following 1 reforestation - increase the rain 2 management of river flow - most of river water are wasted in seas 3 install desalting plant 4 most important control on population
Let's be real the only place where population control needs to happen is Asia. Everywhere else it's healthy . You literally get rid of 90% of China and India and things will go back to normal .
Australia is a continent that has seemingly been in a state of perpetual drought and where the bulk of the population is on the coast where access to rivers is possible.

@@davidphillips7255 water pressure will determine rate at which it forms ice, lower pressure 🌧 water melts turning into solid. Solid then condenses into liquid.
If you watch the two movies, 'Casino Royal' and the sequel, 'Specter'. They dramatize this very scenario. The story culminates in Brazil over a huge underground lake.
Here in Canada, any land that anyone purchases, does not include the water that resides on said land. This goes for everything from swampy marshes, to rivers and lakes. Private entities arent allowed to own our water. And it's for reasons just like this.
Take a look at Singapore…a very small city state without resources,,no oil and no water. For energy I saw a video on how they are setting up the largest solar farm in Australia and will send the power under the sea back to Singapore. For water, I believe they have a desalination plant and are contemplating another but they are doing great research into vertical farming to provide food supplies rather than importing everything. Great ideas coming out of that little city state and we should be following and doing likewise to maximize resources that we have and finding ways to do “agriculture differently” in step with nature not opposed to it.
I'm from India and I had no idea that this was a developing problem because as of now government is supplying me FREE WATER.. no water bill or anything
WTF we have to pay water bill every month here in Rajasthan. And cost is only increasing. We also have water meter that record amount of water supply and we are charged for it.
It is needed to transcision from food production techniques like agriculture to permaculture and hydroponics. We need to stop looking for ways to get more water and understand better ways to use the water we already have.
There is no shortage of water where I live. But, a few years ago I start a small permaculture planting and have been amazed how much more productive it is for the amount of labor. It's proven to be a very efficient production method.
Permaculture is a delusion, farming don't destroy water, after using it the water goes to the soil, rivers or to the clouds to create more rain, so the only countries were farming is a problem are the countries who use groundwater with not enough rains to refill it.
With energy costs continuing to fall, desalination will continue to become cheaper as well. Additionally, moisture farms are a thing now. Like from Star Wars. Google it, it's fascinating. So idk how applicable these water empires will be long term...
Scary... Oil grew power from a non-essential commodity. Maybe somewhat keeping those big powers in check and balance. Power based on water however, a vitally essential 'commodity', would grant absolute power without check or balance
Hey dude just wanted to comment that you are making amazing educational content. I think that you're gonna continue growing. This is the stuff they need to be teaching in schools.
one way to make it easier for the desalination plats with energy need could be to use the excess heat produced from factories. Our town uses excess heat from a single factory to warm up our houses and ease up on the need for other sorts of heatsorces, and it works wonders.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the need to shift to a plant based agricultural system. The current animal based system is wasting extreme amounts of water worldwide.
The best solution out there is planting trees and use regenerative ecological systems to create, store, infliltrate, chare and decrease use of water. The technology is here in thw plant systems we don't need to invent new solution we just need to be smarter in out doing!!! Thanks for the videos!
Do not waste water at points of entering ocean's- pamp water from this point back where's come from.In our technology terms is easy by instilling huge pamp station and pipes made from recycled plastic.

What water companies, irrigation tech companies and opportunities to invest in companies that help solve the problem and relieve suffering - which ones do you recommend to check out for investing purposes?
Just my two cents, I don’t think the potential current gains in water resource companies will offset the current declining economic climate. This is on my radar, however I think it’s best to wait for various factors to combine, such as: infrastructure issues (technical expertise shortage due to demographics, high energy costs in transporting water and deterioration of current infrastructure), nationalism/de-globalisation, politics of water policy-making, hyperinflation / loss of purchasing power of countries in greatest need of water supply (particularly OECDs/ Australia/Middle East). I give it 5-10 years. Water is mentioned at the end of big short if you’re interested.
People who say that the USA will have to look elsewhere for water in the future usually overlook Alaska. Alaska has more freshwater than the rest of the United States combined. Also, for the same reasons Canada and Russia's water futures are secure, so are Alaska's. As global warming heats the earth and melts permafrost and glaciers, Alaska's water supplies will only increase over time. Add to this fact that Alaska is also 3 times larger than Texas and they have both the land (crops) and the water to support the USA going forward.
A brilliant video with great insight and a wealth of information about the shifts of economic power across the globe based on what is possibly the single most important element (next to air) for human survival - water. Thank you very much for this video which is very well presented and a pleasure to watch.
@Brian R. Pittman that would be correct. The Bush family bought land there as under it flowed the second largest aquifer on the south American continent. I think it was talked about in Blue Gold - World Water Wars. There has been a tussle for control of the Guarani aquifer too, with the IMF and World Bank trying to get their greedy mitts into it.
Aust govt secretly selling land to big corporations. Drought & fires= the farmers & other remote communities need support. So far, farmers offered water "released" & access to $$(more debt) IF they grow fodder for the cattle barons. It is bad policy
When it rains in India hundreds of people die of floods and related impact and when it doesn't farmers commit suicide. India just needs to manage the water resources and conserve the existing lakes and it would never run out of water. Bangalore was the example given here the city once had lakes in 3 digits, due to advent of modernisation and the economic growth the city lost most of the lakes and suffered water scarcity.
We need to also expand and innovate hydroponic technologies. With these we can build up or add to new and existing buildings reducing area required and helping restore the environment.
Desalination in huge amounts has 3rd risky factor, that is its by-product of getting Brine solution left with less of a use or put into ocean making aquatic life under threat.
@@MarkerPliyah you're a bit delusional. It isnt the 1812. Canada is the us puppet now, if Canada tried to fuck with the us itll have some serious consequences. If Canada wont fall first ofc.
How are the Great lakes counted in terms of US vs Canada's resources? I had read some time ago that the Great Lakes were collectively 20% of the world's liquid fresh water. Granted, the southwest US has water problems now and much of the central US will have problems once they finish pumping down the Olgalala aquifer, but the US as a whole has plenty of water.
For water starved desert nations desalination and investing in improving desalination methods is not only the best way but perhaps the only way to go long term. Last thing you want is a big dependence on some foreign country for your fresh water supply. Breakthroughs in nuclear fusion would permanently solve the fresh water problem imo
Several times throughout this video the speaker repeats the acronym "BCE" without stating what is means. It means BEFORE CHRIST ENTERED. B-efore C-hrist E-ntered: BCE. I like that BCE = Before Christ Entered the scene of Mankind. Thank you video.
I do agree with a lot of the methods out there yet the desalination is the best way to go, its hard run the oceans dry and easy to finish the little fresh water we do have. Canada ,Russia and Argentina Water powers love the tone of that, water is liquid Gold after all.
I'm Bangalorean and the water scarcity is very real. People are drying up ground water at unprecedented levels, especially the builders and people living in giant apartments.

According to the resolution,
1. Pakistan has to first retract all their forces from the land occupied by mujahids. And go back to the original positions before the invasion.
2. If and only if the first condition is satisfied, India should retract military forces from the region and keep only the required police forces to maintain law and order.
3. If and only if the first two conditions are satisfied, plebiscite will be held under UN's supervision.
The plebiscite has not yet been held because Pakistan has not satisfied the first condition yet.
Surely, both Pakistan and India don't want that to happen because they both don't want to lose waters and a strategically important location in the region to each other or a newly created potentially hostile nation.
That's why both India and Pakistan made a pact during 1970s Simla agreement to declare the issue a bilateral issue making the UN resolution null and void.

1. Pakistan gifted parts of J&K (5180 sq km) to China during 1963 (Of course without the consent of Kashmiris).

East coast only, West coast (Perth) Desal plants running 24 / 7 but we are getting by. Desal plants work, also work well with renewable power so I expect more to be built in the future here.
Moral to the story: Build more dams and you get to use them as pumped hydro storage for energy fluctuation control
Hey Everyone! I was in the hospital for a heart issue about 12 days ago. I am okay, just took some time off (hence lack of uploads). I just wanted to leave a caveat here that I cut from the video...the United States and China both have a lot of water, but they consume substantially more water than any other water-rich country (proportional to their amount of water resources). So they are water-rich, but very water stressed countries as well.

Question: in 2006-2011 U.S. Fed Reserve bank issued $15 trillion loans in short term inter-bank notes. This was then established in Bank of England, Scotland drawing daily compound interest. I've not been able to track any movement since 2013 when European Central Banks were billed interest back to U.S. fed which issued those notes interest free.

Luckily vertical farming will help with this problem greatly. Vertical farms only use 10% the average water that it takes normal farms to grow food. That technology will only improve over time.
aeroponics is the key. But can it apply to all crop types, such as wheat?
@@cvictor8999 We can make it apply.
@@cvictor8999 You can literally just use the same 50 L of water for hydroponics, and when it runs ou the water will evaporate into the air over time so you can make a room that absorbs that water and puts it back into the water reservoir for the building.

The land for farms is getting smaller, and for this we also cut down forests more often.

130L liters for a cup of coffee(wtf) then I would say everybody should leave the coffee and drink water.
And if you find out the reason you will laugh.
In Brazil we do not use water as a means of classifying coffee, but air. But in most coffee producing countries they use water to perform the classification, and then put the beans to dry, wasting water, time and energy. Real stupidity.
You have to consider watering of plants, water uses by workers etc
It's takes years of growing coffee crop and pouring water every day is more than 130 l
You bring up a good point, but it's worth noting that the amount of 'blue water' (water from irrigation) used changes drastically depending on what region the coffee is grown. For instance, many parts of Central America require little to no irrigation to grow coffee whereas regions with less consistent rainfall do.

Graphene membranes offer a cost-effective way to desalinate. Another solution is something that I ran into as a fluid power engineer. Whenever you compress air, the water that was in it comes out of it and falls to the bottom of the holding tank or vessel. If we used our windmills to drive air compressors and peacock relief valves to blow off the water that accumulates at the bottom of compressed air holding tanks, we would easily capture a lot of water. The peacock or float valve works as the rising level of water floats up sometimes a level arm that opens a valve at bottom of tank. The surrounding air pressure, usually 150-250 psi, then drives the water out. In industrial pneumatics, this is treated as a nuisance. After all, you have the air accumulator (storage tank) pro provide compressed air power to either process equipment or air-motor driven tools. A simple relief valve at top of tank can ensure that pressure never rises beyond an easily set table and adjustable range. I do not know why we are not doing this on a wide scale.
I totally agree about graphene, and I think it's likely we'll see it become commercially viable in the near future. It also seems like something you could retrofit an existing desalination plant to use (vastly reducing the energy required per unit of fresh water).
I think the economics of compressed air energy storage are having a hard time competing with chemical batteries for lifecycle cost, and while fresh water is a nice byproduct, it probably doesn't have enough economic impact to justify compressed air when desalinated water is less than $0.01 per liter.
nice
When dealing with the air compressors at work, I remembered having to regularly drain the compressor air tank before going home.
Water out of air? I would think in arid regions the air doesn’t have so much water. And what would they do with all that compressed air?
Greed and stupidity.

It is part of the reason why Communist China occupies Tibet where most of rivers of both China and the Indian subcontinent originate. There are already concerns with dams reducing flow into the Brahmaputra. But on the positive side, India's control of most of Kashmir means that India has control over the sources of most of Pakistan's water. Pakistan, which is always on the brink of economic bankruptcy, also has the third least amount of accessible water per capita so it is very vulnerable. The Indus Treaty regulates how much of the water India can keep for itself - and India has not violated this. However, after recent terrorist attacks by the Paks, Indian PM Modi decided to take up all of India's allocation [in the past India had been generous in not taking all we were entitled to] as one of the counter-measures against the Terrorist-stan.

There is no shortage of water where I live. But, a few years ago I start a small permaculture planting and have been amazed how much more productive it is for the amount of labor. It's proven to be a very efficient production method.
Permaculture is a delusion, farming don't destroy water, after using it the water goes to the soil, rivers or to the clouds to create more rain, so the only countries were farming is a problem are the countries who use groundwater with not enough rains to refill it.
With energy costs continuing to fall, desalination will continue to become cheaper as well. Additionally, moisture farms are a thing now. Like from Star Wars. Google it, it's fascinating.

Just my two cents, I don’t think the potential current gains in water resource companies will offset the current declining economic climate. This is on my radar, however I think it’s best to wait for various factors to combine, such as: infrastructure issues (technical expertise shortage due to demographics, high energy costs in transporting water and deterioration of current infrastructure), nationalism/de-globalisation, politics of water policy-making, hyperinflation / loss of purchasing power of countries in greatest need of water supply (particularly OECDs/ Australia/Middle East).

As global warming heats the earth and melts permafrost and glaciers, Alaska's water supplies will only increase over time. Add to this fact that Alaska is also 3 times larger than Texas and they have both the land (crops) and the water to support the USA going forward.
It starts when the Water nation attack (cue in the avatar montage)🌊
When people flock into cities , countries appear to be overpopulated
True.
Some countries are overpopulated.
I don't normally leave reviews like this, but that was a GREAT F_____ing video! I really didn't know as much as I thought I knew about water!
A brilliant video with great insight and a wealth of information about the shifts of economic power across the globe based on what is possibly the single most important element (next to air) for human survival - water. Thank you very much for this video which is very well presented and a pleasure to watch.
I read one time the Dead George Bush bought hundreds of thousands of acres in Paraguay because it has an underground aquifer
Keep reading
Whar did he build down there?
Has it been 'earthquaked, lately?
@Brian R. Pittman that would be correct. The Bush family bought land there as under it flowed the second largest aquifer on the south American continent. I think it was talked about in Blue Gold - World Water Wars.
There has been a tussle for control of the Guarani aquifer too, with the IMF and World Bank trying to get their greedy mitts into it.
Aust govt secretly selling land to big corporations. Drought & fires= the farmers & other remote communities need support. So far, farmers offered water "released" & access to $$(more debt) IF they grow fodder for the cattle barons. It is bad policy
When it rains in India hundreds of people die of floods and related impact and when it doesn't farmers commit suicide.
India just needs to manage the water resources and conserve the existing lakes and it would never run out of water.
Bangalore was the example given here the city once had lakes in 3 digits, due to advent of modernisation and the economic growth the city lost most of the lakes and suffered water scarcity.
What I learned watching the videos of this channel: Canada will dominate the world one day.
The US will likely enact a hostile takeover to control it by then.
@ And freedom
*USA* *USA* *USA*
@@luddity Yeah. Like the Fallout computer game series.
rain water catchment systems should be interrgrated into future buildings in the city to catch the rainwater that drops on their roofs
We need to also expand and innovate hydroponic technologies. With these we can build up or add to new and existing buildings reducing area required and helping restore the environment.
Desalination in huge amounts has 3rd risky factor, that is its by-product of getting Brine solution left with less of a use or put into ocean making aquatic life under threat.
Canada: the future Trade and Water empire
You mean the future US territory after the discovery of massive underground water reserves.
@@FAKELIEN the us won't invade Canada. Even if they tried they would fail like they did in 1812
@@MarkerPliyah China have already succeeded lol
@@DAEDRICDUKE1 how have they invaded, Canada and China relations aren't great at the moment anyways
@@MarkerPliyah you're a bit delusional. It isnt the 1812. Canada is the us puppet now, if Canada tried to fuck with the us itll have some serious consequences. If Canada wont fall first ofc.
How are the Great lakes counted in terms of US vs Canada's resources? I had read some time ago that the Great Lakes were collectively 20% of the world's liquid fresh water. Granted, the southwest US has water problems now and much of the central US will have problems once they finish pumping down the Olgalala aquifer, but the US as a whole has plenty of water.
I think overall 60-80% of the lakes volume is Canadian territory
Pretty sure that he puts the Canadian flag on the US of A just so people will click on the video and rant about it in the comments.
Ashamed to admit it worked...
It's Manifest Destiny
The US is merely Canadas back yard they persist in the mercy of the Canadian people's.
For water starved desert nations desalination and investing in improving desalination methods is not only the best way but perhaps the only way to go long term.
Last thing you want is a big dependence on some foreign country for your fresh water supply.
Breakthroughs in nuclear fusion would permanently solve the fresh water problem imo
Desalination is for drinking water, not for agriculture.
There was a James Bond movie about this just a few years ago. Water really is the most important resource on the planet.
Why did NATO bomb the Great manmade river project in Libya ?
North Africa would benefit from the fresh water.
He uses BCE and AD for year designations. I like it.
Youre cool for saying that thanks man
Literally the same thing don't know why that term was even created
What ?
Several times throughout this video the speaker repeats the acronym "BCE" without stating what is means. It means BEFORE CHRIST ENTERED.
B-efore C-hrist E-ntered: BCE. I like that BCE = Before Christ Entered the scene of Mankind. Thank you video.
I do agree with a lot of the methods out there yet the desalination is the best way to go, its hard run the oceans dry and easy to finish the little fresh water we do have. Canada ,Russia and Argentina Water powers love the tone of that, water is liquid Gold after all.
This video makes me glad to be Canadian, once again
Start building Desalination plants now, especially in California.
Build one for yourself the elites and leaders want to control water to control us
Canada has 20-25 % of world’s best cleanest purest fresh water ... and the most untouched natural rivers.
OMG I just learned something I never could ever have known....we need water to survive.
Map of India is incorrect: do include gilgit balustan region as it is official territory of india
This is about water reserves, not about world politics.
I'm Bangalorean and the water scarcity is very real. People are drying up ground water at unprecedented levels, especially the builders and people living in giant apartments.
I would like to know what will happen with all that salt these seawater preparation plants produce?
i work in one and we adjust the brine and eject it back to the sea in a eco friendly way
@@knockdown10 thanks for the answer. Wouldn't this procedure lead to a much higher salt level in the sea after a while?
@@sidschukowv6677 you are welcome. no its like dropping 1 particle of salt in a pool nothing changes
@@knockdown10 very interesting topic! Grateful for each of your responses!
