People, you are not sharing this channel enough, please share it, people need to learn.

What's interesting with this argument is that it's proportional. e.g. if eating x amount of meat wastes y amount of resource, then eating 0.5x amount of meat wastes 0.5y amount of resource. Therefore, while taking this argument to its extreme would lead you all the way to vegetarianism (and even to veganism) if we are just ready to reduce our consumption to a more reasonable amount, the argument still works.

There will come a time in life when water is very rare that people and nations would assess wars just to be able to get some.

In his place , i an 16 year old boy feel more scared than him by the date that it will be exhausted by 2040 in about 15 years . What lead me here was reading about water scarcity from my book and....... I guess we ll have to live with it

The reason I was avoiding electricity is because if something were to happen to it, someone else would have to go and fix it and a lot of these places are quite a while a way. I've been thinking about it and I came up with the idea to use a hand pump and a container that would be 5 glasses full of water. Have a check valve for pulling the air out, and reverse the valve in the hand pump. Maybe put a lens on it to heat the water with solar power and make it faster.

There is some information here, but mostly, this video just made me anxious. Not just with all the unanswered questions it raises, but also, maybe next time, get a voice actor to do the narration. No offense. Trust me, I am no model. If I designed clothes, I would hire models instead of modeling the clothes myself. Anyway, I am clicking around the TED website trying to find the rest of this series. (I found only one other video, the one with the droplet, "Where we get our fresh water." But it doesn't answer the questions raised in this video.) I can guarantee you, most people will not even search that far. If you want to educate, don't make it difficult for people to find information.

Thankfully here in Australia people seem to value water a little more than most due to that large drought we had.. but then again i'm only really speculating from my own feelings about water. not sure about other aussies.

Come to Japan !! Water is so clean and drinkable!!

Reason price stays high for something is because there's demand for it. Just because a certain sector can't afford to spend money on a product doesn't stop others to spend money on it. About gas, like I said, anything that's scarce makes a great business. Now that gas is scarce, it's the best time to keep the demand high and ignoring the alternatives. If you've seen the movie "Blood diamonds" they tell you how the dealers reduce the supply of diamonds to keep the demand high. Scarcity = Profit

Thanks for the information.

THE NARRATOR SOUND LIKE ITS GONNA CRY THAT MAKES ME SAD IDK WHY AAAAA

Desalination on any significant scale is expensive. Really expensive. And unless you work it into the government budget, it's only going to drive water prices up. That is a very last ditch effort. Australia went through a serious drought for about 10 years semi-recently. Ended up building a desalination plant. Drought ended, making us look dumb - but we still had to foot a 1.8 billion dollar bill (tax money) for something that is still running (and costing). Not ideal at all.

You should see her previous video. 'Where we get our fresh water - Christina Z.'

Also, I wonder if the increased waste from tar sands would be counted towards industrial uses ... probably, but that's still a recent addition as a large increased share of the total.

@zjhost thanks for clearing that up. And thanks for the reply. :)

I feel ya

As Hank Green stated, we have for 10,000 years competed with other life forms on earth for water and land use. Now were are competing with other humans.

Something you could do to save water is eat less meat. Bovine meat in particular takes about 15,000 litres of water by kilograms to produce.

@Love-np2rt

@Tamizushi

Ай бұрын

@@Love-np2rt Yeah, that's true all around. Before mechanization, it used to be that animals were really important in a farm since they were used for some of the farm work. Also, farming plants was much more labor intensive in general, letting animals graze required less labor in comparison. So it kinda made sense to raise animals for food back then. But none of this is true nowadays, to the point that it has become more efficient to grow plants and feed those plants to animals crammed in a warehouse than to let animals directly. And yet, it would also be much more efficient to just grow plants to feed humans directly. With few exceptons, farming animals for food with today's technologies is an aberration from a resource management point of view.

I grew up with the freshest well water you can imagine. It was hard to imagine not having water growing up, but now I understand how lucky I was.

A higher price in a certain sector means people will be more willing to invest in other, less expensive ways to do whatever they are doing. People weren't buying electric/hybrid/hydrogen fuel cars 50 years ago because gas was cheap enough that they didn't need to. Now that gas is relatively expensive, people are more willing to spend money on alternatives.

I learned a lot

Technologies exist... spirit-power is lacking. "We need a change of heart, a reframing of all our conceptions and a new orientation of our activities. The inward life of man as well as his outward environment have to be reshaped if human salvation is to be secured." ~ Baha'i Faith

Beautiful paragraph, this shit needs to go into everybody's head in America.

we also need o consider that not all the water used for agriculture dissappears, very much of it goes to fuel lakes and rives and rain etc

nice concept! this could be done on a huge scale, imagine we watered a desert and it became teaming with life, not that its cool to play god like that, but it would be possible. it may take a lot of energy to do it that way but if it were solar powered it could just be left going with an constant output of fresh water... im sure someone who knows their chemistry and science could come up with an even more efficient way though. P.s. dont know why someone is down voting our comments and replies:S

Anything that is profitable for corporations becomes scarce. And when solving the issue threatens the business, corporations will do everything in their power to stop the solution with total disregard for the future of human life

I'm disappointed now. I thought my little water saving actions, had an effect somewhere. May be helped a few people. I nagged others hours on end, putting forward my point of view, about water consumption. Now I realize that I’m just a fool, pretending to be a savior.

Maybe there could be something like a daily limit of 10 gallons of water per day per person in the country. You could do so using technology to turn off the water supply in a household once the daily limit has been reached.

That is awesome

what does the infinite sign have to do with anything?

So basically, we need to find a way to reduce industrial and agricultural waste of water...and to do that, we need the CEOs in charge of these companies to stop being so greedy...

It is generally not clean enough for domestic uses and is often reclaimed water.

Absolute love! its about time someone trys fixing this problem!! by 2050 we will have to be vegans due to lack OF FRESH WATER!! and people keep having kids!!

Good thing water isn't actually limited, being able to clean saltwater to drink and all.

since the water we use gets recycled how would taking shorter showers and not running water while brushing your teeth do anything?

Then make it efficient. We are smart enough to do so. The science community must gather together and put as much energy as it can into ingenuity. When mankind puts its mind together as one, nothing is impossible for them.

We can make fresh water out of sea water. there are desalination plants in the Los Angels area. I am not sure how efficient they are or how much it costs to run them, but we can do it now. I also believe that there are some in Saudi Arabia.

It's very expensive to desalienate.

How can something so abundant be so scare when there is already solution for the problem, which isn't that costly either? Desalination is the solution because salt water is literally the most abundant thing on our planet.

The common good must come first. If we work together, we can solve these issues. A combination of policies to improve irrigation efficiency, breed and grow less water intensive crops, reuse industrial water by cleaning it, and obtaining water when needed from melting ice sheets pumped into tankers for the time being may buy us some time as solar powered desalination grows. Good governments are the keys to good water management and critical decisions regarding water, our shared success depends on working together to solve this problem, and I'm confident we can. 💙 💦 🌊 🌞

I had the idea of making another petty excuse for not eating meat, however. Plant NEED water too, and probrably as much as animals do. But really, about the water cycle... Doesn't salt water get evaporated? Then we get condensation...

Thats some crazy stuff to bad im drinking out of a water bottle right now

While watching this video, I had the idea to make a cheap vacuum ... barrel (something about that size) that would lower the air pressure and you would be able to boil water, collect it as it evaporates into another container. Since water boils and the stuff in the water doesn't, that would clean the water nearly 100%. Could be done very easily. If anyone else is interested let me know. If you have better resources for it, more power to you. If it were my choice, it would be non-profit.

Everyone should try to reduce water pollutions even though stopping this is impossible due to temperatures rising and decreasing oxygen in water,which can still lead to biodiversity dying out.if we reduce it,at least we can lower the rate of how fast and how many jellyfishes can be bred in warm waters,and also turn water a bit more warmer.Corals,turtles,fishes almost anything in the ocean or sea dies out to water pollution and it is mainly cause by us humans.if only we could actually stop global temperatures from rising too high,it could help in many factors.

Saving water might be reasonable in locations where water is in fact scarce. However, people often forget about locations where water is in no way a scarce resource. For example in most German regions we completely live from groundwater, that is fed by rain water. There is enough rain to make water a non-scarce resource. Saving water here is a nice approach to save energy and so on, but would never help the global water issues in any way.

privatization of water is a rather big problem...do we any recognized commons? the mojave aquifer is now owned by infamous blackwater. i learned that poking around a few years ago..

I love water❤

they have some many kids because so many die in childhood. Same thing happened in the US during the great migration of the 1800's

Yall some big-brains😄

You forgot to mention the preexisting solution called the water cycle.. Not saying it solves everything, just saying that I find it a bit annoying and odd how people all hyped up about water usage always avoid the water cycle..

THAT'S MY POINT. Making something scarce doesn't necessarily mean it's actually scarce. Businesses NEED scarcity, without it, the business dies because there is no demand. Do you know how much money businesses make off of water? Does it mean water is scarce? They sell some bottled water for such high prices claiming it's "fresh mountain water" or some other bullshit. Does that mean it's safer than tap water? No. But in order for that to sell, they need to create an illusion of scarcity.

I was aware

Common good? But doesn't making fresh water a common good or a public good only leads to more unsustainable use of water? I mean, if it is being profited, then it can be regulated by the government by imposing taxes on the firms producing water... Please help me understand her point.

I could make a video asking a bunch of questions as well.

No longer true. All we needed was a filter which didn't require energy or excess pressure to filter. That's graphene.

if we see fresh water as a common good, the water cause free riden problems and doesn't solve?

Yeah right

and you kind of missed my point and proved it in your comment. If oxygen was profitable, it would take a cataclysmic event to get rid of it, because business would invest a lot in keeping it around as long as possible so they wouldn't lose the resource they are making money from. The price system really is an amazing thing. If something becomes scarce, it will drive up price, as you said, and people will consume less of it. simple economics.

Desalination plants and carbon-nano filters can solve the entire worlds problems. But we will have to get profits & corporations out of the equation. As long as something so essential and necessary for human life is seen as a business we will never get anything significant done.
