    I’m am grateful everyday I see Great Lake Huron outside my window. I feel for these people😔
  • @HayashiShirou
    drain groundwater is really bad idea when the groundwater recharging rate is slower than draining rate. which means your land will dry out. for worst, your land will sink along with buildings nearby collapsing. talking from the point of civil engineering's geotechnical engineering.

    CokaCola takes 28 liters to grow sugar for 1 liter. It takes roughly 20 gallons of water to make a pint of beer, as much as 132 gallons of water to make a 2-liter bottle of soda. 1 hamburger takes 100 gallon of water or something like that -but still ridiculous . I suggest , Don't drink soda and don't eat too much meat. I try to Drink just water and eat vegetables
  • 35:34 what a warning "but because of the major suffering they will see, im afraid that it will be an aggressive generation"
  • @AstralHiGH
    water has become 90% of what i drink for the past few years glad i changed my habits while young
  • @benb7727
    Dang. Make a funnel, people! Do you see all that water spilling as they fill up their jugs?
  • @daeclipse03
    I'm surrounded by water sources here in the Finger Lakes and we get an abundance of rain here as well thankfully.
  • Worldwide environmental topics should be on the TOP PRIORITY lists. Instead of denying climate change, there should be a global understanding that the most important resource for humans and wildlife is WATER. Not oil, not gold, not money. As usual it is horrific to having to wait for real action to be taken until it is too late. Humans are both the most brilliant and the most disgusting species on this beautiful planet.

    The mountain of life jackets really got me! Hard... But this is for real, and it's going south by the minute!
  • What a great job supplying water to the people that need it to survive 🏆 I would be on such a high all the time if i was involved in humanitarian efforts like this.
  • Corporations are to blame fully they use the resources unlimitedly and profit from it 100%
  • At the same time one company like Nestle has like 6 or 7 springs in Florida that we know where they fills millions of bottles of water and then they sell it to us 🤔
  • @combatobacco
    Thank you for covering the water crisis and the politics of water. Of special concern is the dimensions of oppression against the Palestinians.
  • @Charge0Complete
    That is some choice editing right there. 06:38 "No one is wasting a drop of water now...." just as that container is only catching about 50% of that water from that spout. LOL
  • @robertkacala
    "Something has got to change"...yup, human behaviour.
  • @pi_a7743
    This is a problem that affects the whole world. I think Europe in particular will have a lot more problems if the Middle Eastern countries are not able to change their water supply. And if China completes this project, I think we will all be involved in the water crisis in China, northeast India, and Bangladesh, because China has so much power, connections, and so many inhabitants.

    The image of the life jackets piled up on the beach in Turkey is epic!
