Climate change is causing temperatures to rise. Extreme weather events and droughts are increasing. Springs and wells are drying up. And everyone needs more water. The battles for control over precious water reserves have begun.
In some countries, water has always been available in abundance – and is wasted carelessly every day. But the climate crisis is changing that. Because the climate is warming, everyone needs more water than ever: for drinking, agriculture and industry. Water is the new gold.
In many countries, the distribution battles for precious water reserves have already begun. In Mendocino, California, there is no longer enough water to flush the toilets. And in Germany, regional drinking water supplies collapse in hot weather. Groundwater levels have dropped to record lows in many places. Will we still have enough drinking water in the future? What happens when our water disappears?
This is a three-part documentary series:

About The Author
When California gets too much rainwater, they dump it into the ocean. California has had water privatization for decades, who ironically own Fiji water and Pom juices and Wonderful pistachios
lots of talking but little practical info for the average Joe. We collect rainwater and the grey water goes to the garden. In summertime, we are cautious
Water is much more precious than gold. We can live without gold but we can never live without water . Thanks for this free video
"You can't have people defecating on the streets" lol guess he hasn't been to San Francisco :p
I'd like to point out that many ground water aquafers are underground streams and are upkept with rainfall.
However, there's "fossil water" like the ogallala aquifer. When water is removed from there, the land settles and the pore space no longer exist. Because the aquifer is so large, the land subsidence isn't noticeable. But, one day, that aquifer will run out just because of extraction. And it won't refill.
Do you have a follow-up show on the current status? I saw this video 2 years ago and now traveling Italy, Austria and Slovenia and wondering what was changed?
(Thanks you very much)
thank you we can reduce air pollution by changing the use of fossil fuels that I mention in my profile.
It’s just scary. God, help us😢
climate change bring us both drought and higher sea level. does anyone offset both problems?
thank you, it will change soon, there are other source of energy that with international cooperation can reduce global warming, sea is huge source of energy, further more we can prevent these phenomena like cyclone and flood and wildfire by using this hot seasonal atmospheric condition, recent years in summer, geothermal energy happens in surface of coastline, there are many countries in coastline with seasonal hot weather and water condition, in sum-up, by using this energy not only is economical but also reduce global warming like Japan, China, India, Mediterranean countries, Iran, Mexico, Us, Canada, (Africa and Arabian countries….) . I invented new method base on air pressure rules and quantum physics ionization sea water minerals in strong dynamic magnet and electrical field and electric chemical reactions for producing electricity and fresh water and fertilizer. 7 methods for reducing global warming I mentioned in my profile.
Very skewed perspective. residential water use is not even 10% of agriculture use especially alfalfa. This is idiotic, when dubious international corporations own thousands of hectares of agriculture land exclusively exporting products.
Watergen is a machine that makes water out of air
Wasting water is a crime against nature.
Germany still hasn’t lost as much water as it has world wars
all talk of no water is Peak Insanity when the Ocean are never going away
The problem of water scarcity is ignored by our elected officials , same as the problem with the massive pollution generated by the fossil fuel industry that creates those drought. It makes me laugh to see this scentist with good intention going to US congress and being ignored. Those elected official are own by the polluting industries. All they care about is assuring maximum immediate revenue to their respectives owners. They dont care about Syria going out of water or cities like Vegas & Pheonix. They will move when it will be too late. Please take note we have been activily pleading about climate emergency since the last 40 years at Congress. Since this last 40 years, the fossil fuels production has doubled.
why not just DILUTE IT…..then it will go further ? 😃
Data centers suck up so much water to keep computers cooled.
Also arizona lets saudi arabia grow crops in desert uses so much water. China too.
Over population the worst problem. They said in 1970 the population ratio to earth would be unsustainable. That was 50 years ago.
People will have to water the moon and mars one day with nuclear powered jumbo jets.
I have an idea to helps solve the world water problem in water barron areas and to replenish the aquifers, also help combat saltwater intrusion in aquifers, and help clean up Rivers that are full of bacteria in areas of the world that are highly populated………. I believe we should focus efforts on reverse osmosis- make large scale reverse osmosis systems. We can improve these osmosis systems and get them to pump something around 1000 gallons per second and then run the water though charcoal filter system, and lastly ph systems. We can even filter the ocean water and pump it through pipelines to water barron areas of the world, tribal communities, replenish aquifers, filter-out saltwater intruded aquifers, clean up dirty rivers and water areas and pump clean water into communities. We could also create man-made freshwater lakes in areas in the desert and Africa and shield them with biospheres so they don't evaporate and stock them with freshwater fish to combat world hunger. The sky is the limit with Reverse osmosis and I think we need to concentrate our efforts on this to solve a lot of the world issues.
The third world war will be for water
Global migration is turns into war in Europe and North America in next few years
With fossil fuels being phased out (good), the filthy, greedy capitalists need to find something else to exploit from people and keep them poor and suffering.
Reminds me of the Marsh people and their land full of water. Water scarcity was forced onto them by their government and it’s so sad 😭 why can’t we be better everywhere I look one way or another everybody is directly or indirectly affected by climate change you can’t tell me it doesn’t exist !!
