My late uncle was the chief water engineer for the state of Rajasthan. In the 80s, he realized that not only was there a huge water problem in the water table would run dry by the mid 21st century, but there was a huge amount of waste from leaky pipes in wealthy people’s homes that had been properly installed. He tried to start a campaign to get plumbing done up to code, and quickly got shut down by corrupt officials who were getting bribed to turn a blind eye.

Usually the most useless ppl are the ones wreaking Havock for the rest.. lack of long term vision, Honesty, and selfishness at its fullest, from the wealthy ppl to public employees... Then the rich when they see the problem getting out of control, instead of helping in fixing the problem, they just packed their luggage and move to the west, particularly the USA, or Canada, dragging those bad custom and dishonesty and of course exploitation practices and start their cycle of ignorance and bad behavior again in new lands without learning the lesson, blaming other for their mistakes and perpetuating the problem. Kudos for your uncle one of the few people that saw the issue before becoming worse and also for trying to bring a plausible solution to avoid further disaster. That is part of the reason specially in the 🇺🇸, buildings, houses, Roads etc has to be built by code, especially when there is a fire inside a house, bc if the firefighter has to use his axe to open a wall or a door, he knows by code where the electric or gas line is located to avoid getting injure or making a bigger problem..

I have a point with this video that I find strange. Namely, what ended the Harappan civilisation was a global cooling event, not warming. The warming will make the monsoons more intense and will probably lead to intense flooding, not drying. What India lacks is not water but rather clean water. That is, however, likely to improve as the country develops, regulations get implemented and awareness goes up.

The problem of having abundant clean water was probably what India will have. If I poo 💩 into people's reservoir, I can increase the bacterial count to an unhealthy level and render a huge volume of water no longer potable. When I was living in a shantytown in Kowloon, Hong Kong, we kept the several water streams separate. We drank only boiled water. We washed clothes with mountain-runoff spring Phoenix Creek/Brook water. We also had city remote public water and public toilet service. We used a chamber-pot. It's not as convenient than in the U. S. A. but we knew how to manage hygiene. The ability to be very calm when facing a water supply disruption is an advantage of my having lived in a shantytown. I knew that I could cope and also what to do. Serenity !

This past season, severe flooding has hit much of northwest India, so the issues presented here were a problem in years past. The big issue is the reckless wastage of water in Punjab and Haryana, tapping into a dwindling ground water supply. Perhaps the rains this year would have replenished some of it. To make more efficient use of water capture, Andrew Millison's channel has documented many local and large initiatives at capturing water in Rajasthan region of India, which have been successful. This needs ro be adopted throughout India. As a backup, India's has constructed numerous dams and canals, with the potential to divert water away from Pakistan's rivers. In the event of a drought, the government has indictaed it would divert water into Punjab and Haryana. This could be real issue, with a war conflict between India and Pakistan ovwr water.

The state of California, on the West coast of the United States, has what are called "The Water Wars." They especially affect Los Angeles and San Diego, California, Las Vegas, Nevada, and Phoenix, Arizona. That is partially because much of southern California's water comes from the Colorado River, which partially runs through other states, forms part of California's border, and also runs through Mexico. There are several videos and articles about them on the internet, and books have been written about them.

Climate change is making monsoons stronger. Water availability in North West India is going up. Water shortage is not the issue. The issue is the need to build more dams to control the coming floods.

They have to clean up the Ganges. They need to stop dumping stuff on there.

We need a serious debate on this burning issue and quick actionable steps to reach to some proper solution.

The fact that all major countries, including USA&China face the exact same problem. And none of us are doing anything.

I am from the state of Punjab. Many Punjabis realise this problem and are leaving Punjab for foreign countries, particularly Canada, but also other Commonwealth nations like UK, Australia and New Zealand. They see no future in India. It's really distressing why our politicians don't focus on this problem. In a state where agriculture is the leading sector of the economy, the least they can do is to adopt sustainable agricultural practices. However, Punjab is stuck in a wheat-paddy monoculture, which has destroyed the region's biodiversity, depleted the groundwater table and created a huge stubble problem. On the top of that, copious use of pesticides is polluting the water sources and creating issues like cancer and infertility among the population. I fail to understand why government doesn't do away with paddy (a water-guzzling crop which is nowhere suitable for the environment of Punjab) to encourage diversification and solve the stubble issue. I think it's a combination of incompetence, corruption and the lack of will-power!

When one's dealing with *life-sustaining* water, one needs backup, and backup to backup. I don't want to depend upon "imminent breakthrough in water desalination" to quench people's thirst ! "Imminent" may actually be years or decades later.

The Indus River is located in Pakistan not India

As a resident of Rajasthan, I agree with you on the water usage. People here waste water a lot, given the overuse of groundwater. We must use water consciously and smartly. We must spread awareness about water conservation, Rainwater harvesting and transform traditional agricultural practices to an environmental friendly. Water is the most precious resource and it should be kept as such. Stricter norms regarding water usage should be implemented.

I’m a bit surprised you limited your analysis mainly to current day India. Shouldn’t that be ignored and focus on the geographical area of the Indus region (which includes Pakistan)… e.g. be apolitical.

There are six rivers in J&K where that water goes a lot unused, fowing into the Arabian sea. Build dams, divert and refresh the Saraswathi River valley..

The water wars are coming. I’m moving to Michigan.

India can build man-made rivers to bring water from water rich states like Tamil Nadu in the south to northern states like Gujarat. This is similar to the huge infrastructure project that has also started in China where water from southern provinces is diverted to northern provinces.

one of your best presentations!

We are having more rainfall than ever before in most of the regions you showed.

When one thinks of the great rivers of the world emptying in the oceans could some of these rivers be diverted to alleviate the droughts in some countries, one of the tributaries from the congo river could probably be diverted to flow north to Egypt.

The recent floods in Uttar Pradesh are the reason I was even familiar with this

We must create big deep lakes in wastelands... 10-15 in every district and fill up those lakes with river water via canals during monsoon season.

Go to the moon but can't fix home

Our country should focus on water conservation and water management more

You could have add the 15 Million inhabitants of Delhi right in the middle (25 Million in urban area spread on 3 States) as you just cited Faridabad and Gurgaon which are just suburbs of Delhi !

Bingo! The problem is more people create more pollution, that in turn changes the climate. So in reality the more the climate changes the less people should be causing pollution. That can't happen with a population that isn't decreasing, only increasing. So the issue really is people are morons who don't want to see it that way are too stupid to save themselves. Can't have your cake and eat it too as the old saying goes but we have enough hypocrites on this planet who will try and convince you otherwise.

Mohenjo-daro and Harappa are located in Pakistan. Nearly 66% of Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) was based in the area that is now Pakistan. Indus Valley and Indus River are in Pakistan. Mehrgarh is the earliest archaeologist known site in South Asia which probably gave rise to the Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) is also in Pakistan.

You did not report anything on the changes in the source of water for the major rivers. Other issues are fixable.

Historians and scientists are moving to this new terminology because the dating system comprises the entire globe, not just the areas that have Christian populations. This is a more accurate description and reduces the cultural and religious issues involved. It's not "wrong" to use BC and AD; however, it is a realization that there is a better way to express our sense of time.

Two corrections: (1) The most overpopulated states in India are UP and Bihar, No one in India talks about them separately when talking about population and related issues, Rajasthan is added to the BIMARU(bihar, madhya pradesh, rajasthan , UP) as diseased states which are eat up southern wealth and give nothing in return, also known as Hindi Belt. Haryana and Punjab are not overpopulated, their fertility rate is on decline (2) The Indus valley remnants are in the south, They most probably migrated to south of India, They didn't go to Ganges Valley.The so called "Dravidian" culture is probably the only "original" "Indian" culture. The North-South divide is very much there, which Indians tend to disagree.

It's not universally recognised that Indus valley civilization was inhabited by Dravidians. Also, modern Dravidians are a linguistic group, just like Indo-Aryans. When it comes to genetics, modern Indo-Aryans and Dravidians descend from both what you call "original Indians" and later migrants. The only "original Indians" would be the Sentinelese.

I have just one question, how come Indians would be more willing to migrate to further away Canada as opposed to Malaysia. IIRC Canada is now disallowing non-citizens of buying property, so immigration to Canada would be significantly lowered. Alternatively, there are many Indians who live in Malaysia, and Malaysia is more similar to India than Canada, albeit having less of a water crisis, making Malaysia a better place
