Global Water Wars (Full Episode) | Parched 

I must drink it

I don't 🙂

The Great Lakes account for over 75% of the world's surface freshwater, and this video is a good reminder of why we must protect it at all costs.

@@colossalcollin glaciers?

Would you drink water from the Great Lakes??? Sure glad I live in the Coastal Mountains of BC! We're spoiled here with what we have(please don't take any offense) and with the need to preserve what we got. Cheers everyone!

Yu gotta run outta gas to kno bout that 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Fred Williams Stone Age minds

@Kim Triệu he know not of struggle the desperation to get it as fast as possible before others those are the words of pitiful 1st worlder with over abundance n waste is common place

Yeah I saw, infuriating. Along with leaky taps.

Can't teach an old dog new tricks

Water is 90% of beer...... 🍺 🍻 😆

Drink it while it lasts.. water isnt gonna be around much longer.. hence this documentary

What habits?. Lol. Did you watch the doco? You gotta change your habits and stop drinking water!

WAaAAAAAter. WAAAAAffles

AMEN

You are correct. And since the area is close to the sea, at some point salt water will begin to infiltrate the aquifer.

@@citizen240 Thank you, good to know!

AS, WE DESPARETLY NEED,WATER, INSTEAD OF BUILDING MORE DAMS,THE LUNATICS,RUSHED INTO DEMOLITION, OF MANY WEST COAST DAMS! ! HOW, STUPID CAN YA GET ? I SAW THIS COMING, FROM 100 MILES AWAY, MODERN HIGH TECH FISHERY MANAGMENT, EASILY COULD HAVE IMPROVISED A STEP BY STEP, SPAWNING SYSTEM , SO NO DIE OFFS WOULD OCCUR~

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.

and once the land collapses and the ground compacts its too late, that aquifer will never hold the same amount of water again

May God bless the Palestinians

@@TheWormzerjr why?

@@anshulsingh4190 Geeze, never mind your political beliefs, have you no empathy for human's in trouble?

@@anniegaddis5240 i would ask their closest neighbour what to think.

Better if you say:"Lord I'm disappointed for all that they don't have".

I was really hoping someone acknowledged that in the comments lmao

@@user-nx8vp5sy5d You say, "Meat doesn’t use as much water as Veggie crops? Grains to try and supply the same protein is astrimatically higher." . Ok...How much grain does a cow eat? How much water does it take to grow the grain that the cow eats?

​@popeyedog1087 that's in his math that's why it takes a 132 gallons for one tiny burger

water doesn't disappear into thin air.

Peolpe should be Exucuted along with familys friends nebiors and there pets if they deny Climate change cause there a gobal terroist

What makes you think this planet is beautiful?

The most important resource is stalking

@@apolloniusbeitsman5444 what?

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.

For now

"I looked up and saw a horse whose color was pale green. Its rider was named Death, and his companion was the Grave. These two were given authority over one-fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword and famine and disease and wild animals." Revelation 6:8 God warned us this was coming 2,000 years ago!

Prophetic. The conflict and suffering we are seeing is undoubtedly at the hands of the Israeli government.

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.

You would do the same if you could ...

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.

They steal Canadian water too.

@@bkdarkness and I don't. I have a tap.

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.

as long as you leave and do it in their country. dont involve me in your high. i have other priorities...

This is NOT humanitarian,they are selling water

​@@boringbastard4920funny

they are still paying the price of their leaders aggression and loss from 1967...if Muslim countries are so concerned why don't they offer to let them all move to their countries? losing a war of aggression you started has consequences...

@@michaelfried3123 Amazing logic Mr Fried. Try to understand this by way of this story- A robber killed a house owner saying that he had a dream or something similar that the house and all belongings are his. The house owner sisted and paid the price of his aggression. And you know the Palestinians actually gave shelter to the Jews who were fleeing different parts of Europe even before the holocaust. The Palestinians have had to endure much because of this flawed initiative. I believe a good number of Jews are opposed to this idea of a country established after robbing lands -killing and chasing the original inhabitants.

@@michaelfried3123 no Arabic country will offer the Palestinians citizenship. Then this carry on forever. Great game plan.

@@combatobacco Just another pile of Palestinian lies. Before the state Israel it was Ottoman empire. The holy land was never under Palestinian soverghnity - So no one can "rob" you of something that never belonged to you..

@@TheChitagong Whom did the stolen lands and houses belong to? Why were thousands of palestinians killed and chased from their homes. Why do children women and men continue to be killed and lands continue to be robbed and people continue to be oppressed. Also if you are capable you may go and read more about the history of this region. There was well a Palestinian state with their passport, currency and borders. What I understand is that it is a humanitarian issue and people with their sanity intact across different divides have concern for the oppressed palestinians.

Correct, ... and turning an eye away.

NEVER going to happen.. your tv is controlled by interests who are not aligned with saving water or your health... wake up

@@razielthagreat2109 So, should we stop watching TV 🙄😢!

It was broadcast on TV six years ago, in 2017.

... 2016

Hi! I hope you're doing well, do You have sources about this so i can investigate more? This is really interesting

human over reproduction

Aka not possible aka human species is doomed aka thank god i'll be dead in the next 50-60 years. :)

@@bobbillings Yes over production is natural but controlling dieing people is wrong by inventing medicines..That's why nature release or spread disease to stable human population but we control dieing people my chemical medicines

Especially in Finland.

For now

We are on the bottom of the dumb

@Señor Cheez•It thank you senor for such a petty comment. I've corrected it for you. So that you understand I meant humanity.

For every soy bean product we buy from the Third World we are increasing the water crisis. Don't buy soy, oil palm, corn, meat, wood, from Third World countries

desalination

@@papajohnsuk5965 What about the brine solution problem?

not if we build high walls around europe

maybe where u liv xd

@@jhondiick4202 they go bicycle through old sovjet to get inside our welfare country:)

I find it funny ppl think this is only one part of the world half of the us right now is running out of water 😅

😂😂😂😂😂

If only they provided tax income to solve the problem.

@@tokiburoak7457 If only people would tend to their own gardens...

You know, 1 out of every 10 houses worldwide even here in this same states have lead pipes in the middle to end of the last user? (i have pure water for my garden in west M I, ha) But for real, 10 percent of american homes have the lead pipes like Flint does, they reported it but Hollywood and media likes to paint everyone else as bad, just like floridaman and michigan, all bogus hollywood creations to make california look less crazy

@@raymondmejias8071 Oh, no way, no, they don't, that is where the Dow plant is more than likely you already know that they have dumped Agent Orange in the lake there, it is absolutely disgusting, it's completely contaminated, people have been getting Cancer and dying. They kept saying it wasn't them there wasn't any Agent Orange Dioxin in the lake yeah right, they finally had to own up to it. This was in 2018,I think so they've owned up to it, haven't cleaned it yet cost millions and millions of dollars, I think they said 80 million dollars, and they've only lost one court case, the person only got 1.1 million dollars, it won't matter, they won't be able to live long enough to do that much with any money, which that's not the point at the rate that they're going for the other people who are dying of Cancer is going to be to late for them, it is absolutely disgusting what they have done in Michigan and everywhere else and, you know they bought the Dupont plant, so theyre trying to say they're merging together no, they bought it out, I don't understand why they aren't boycotted more than what they have been, people want to bury their head in the sand and act like it's not happening. You can't keep doing that. They're never gonna clean up those rivers and lakes. It is absolutely so messed up, all they care about is money, it's just going to continue getting worse because people won't do the right thing, they don't care about this they only care about the here and now that is so wrong, wait until they start really suffering, then will see you see them change their minds well maybe.

That was the first thing I noticed.

Just like the Israeli government

Most of it are salt water and not drinkable.

The money spent on global war and the supplies they require to sustain war could pay for 1000's of desalinization plants. The people with money do not like over population, stability, the sharing of knowledge, truth, justice or anything spiritual. As a Canadian, I hope I am dead before we must marry the U.S. to protect our water.

@@globalado2593 desalination has it's own negative effect. To much concentration of salt in water without being diluted is dangerous in local aquatic life.

That's God Leela

“Water everywhere yet not a drop to drink.”

That's because government employees who make the laws of the land, have the power, because I think that I'll have to go mine power

RU-vid vanced

Way too many ads

Thats why we aren’t taking preventive measures

Hva da?

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.

Access to contraceptions are a privilege not everyone around the globe has access to them….

I think it has been addressed, corona virus!

@@jenniferwittridge4163 that's the inhumane way. To let people die of things. For the record you said it, not me.

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.

Do you not realize reservoirs are drying up? The Hoover dam is 100 feet lower than it was 10 years ago.

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......

This is the age of Aquarius....

And zero birth control...

6:35 timestamp

Order out of Chaos is their motto.

Do some research ... it's their own gov doing it

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.

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....

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.

@hillie it’s strategic. There is an abundance of water in the earth. Some just want more than their fair share and are choosing to wage war on less powerful nations and people. Pure evil.

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.

watching this video made me turn on all of my taps for a full 24 hours.

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.

That would include you 🤔🙃

too many greedy CEO's and politicians yes. nothing a bit of wealth distribution wouldn't fix tho. the reason for any resource crisis is greed and wealth inequality.

If you think that then do humanity a favor and go away.

​@@bradleysmith9431is my thinking threatening to you? :)) i love you too

@@virgulflotant you do realize if you distribute money equally to everyone that that causes inflation? The value of a dollar is less than a dollar. That leads to government dependency. If a janitor made the same as a surgeon then who in their right mind would spend more money for school only to be paid the same amount a janitor makes.?

Omg 😢😩😓

Me too hehe

Ummm k...

Who doesn't

You sound great in theory, but far from reality, the only land management techniques you can imply would be catchment zones, in return won't create a "climate", what your saying is playing god, rainfall or land management at some stage you have to accept population comes into play, you can't just put new "land management techniques" in again in another 50 years with 50million more people?. Your too far from reality champ.

just hire some hydrology or water resource engineers. they will solve problems for you. the whole thing is that you need proper river basin which is about the rainfall catchment. it is very related to how the terrain or topography of the land is. if it is bad, your land cant really catch and keep rainwater and you will have huge water source problem. engineers may suggest you to direct water source from elsewhere like building canals or water harvesting or detention methods.

@@HayashiShirou thats who build dams that destroy the ecosystem of rivers and oceans. These guys can capture the water in the soil and also capture co2 while building soil fertility and growing forage and raising livestock. Your idea is old and outdated but seeing as you won't even prove their science and promote detrimental farming over regenerative farming. Well I'm just glad congress didn't ask you for advice lmao

Oh, ok, so you are a specialist? Because I was under the impression these are specialist who talking, yeah, I believe they are, I hate it with sometimes we have talking heads on here who think they know what will fix our planet when you don't you think that, oh, wait a minute, we can get a bunch of rain water, and it's going to save everybody when the country is over populated, so there's not going to be enough water, and please remember that we're going to need that water for your vegetation theory they have been working on this for a long time, I'm sorry if it seems like I'm giving you a hard time, but come on, this isn't your profession, I know you think you know what is right, but you don't live there. If you did, then your theory would be sound and you could be taking care of all your people, and if you're not there, then you're just another talking head who thinks he knows the right thing to do. When you literally don't have a clue, I'm sorry, I just think it's wrong for people to assume they know everything and that is a little bit narcissistic. This is happening everywhere. There are so many of our lakes and drinking water here in America that are contaminated because chemical plants basically Dow and Dupont, or the worst ones, but if you don't live there, please don't act like you know what to do because you don't, and this isn't your profession they're taking water from the oceans now, and we don't need anymore, water, taken out of the ocean, people have to take care of this planet, or there isn't going to be one to save I know you're only trying to help, but you need to look at it from their perspective. This is their country, these are specialist and know what to do, if it was as simple as what you're saying, it would have been done along time ago, I'm just saying, don't assume, you know everything in this world, it's not a good look, and it's not helping those people.

@@joywalker4918 ur case sounds so bad that as if ur government is corrupted. your local governing authority should have a department that monitors and assesses human activity's impact on environment. in my country, we have Department of Environment. it functions to make sure wastewater discharged by factories has very minimal impact to rivers. which means the wastewater has been treated to at least water quality of that harmless to body contact but still cant be directly drank. in my country, it is Class IIB or III water quality. Class I is very good quality. Class IIA requires slightly water treatment for human's clean water supply. Class V pretty a dead water or rotten or poisonous. wastewater samples are collected and tested by environmental engineers which also a branch of civil engineering mixed with chemical engineering btw. if factory fails to meet the requirement, it should be fined heavily. usually the authority will be bribed by factory to turn blind eyes until someone gets ill.

I imagine jhon wick...😅. I tried to prepare but am late...i've given up bcz of lockdowns💩.

And they still continue to have babies, even though they gotta know the earth is unable to sustain the massive overpopulation we have now.

@@walcoman overpopulation doesn't exist, greed is the problem

@@TheP0dcastHub yep. no greed and we wouldn't have a problem to begin with

No Goombah, this is how life works out via the old system. They need to catch up to survive.

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.

What about me !

That's what most think only for it to happen and them boom regret starts
