Anns an treas prògram, tha sinn a’ rannsachadh uisge mar bhathar luachmhor, a tha a’ cuideachadh ann a bhith a’ toirt cumadh air an eaconamaidh agus a tha toirt buaidh air ar beatha.
Tha Rajendra Singh aithnichte mar Fear Uisge nan Innseachan. Le bhith ag ath-bheòthachadh seann dhòigh air uisge a bhuain, tha e air coimhearsnachdan a chuideachadh le bhith a’ beathachadh talmhainn lom. Tha Singh a’ creidsinn gur ann aig ìre ionadail a-mhàin a ’s urrainnear na toraidhean seo a choileanadh.
Bidh Anne a’ siubhal gu Rubha àlainn na Comraich, far a bheil tòrr uisge air a’ choimhearsnachd iomallach seo a chuideachadh an t-àm ri teachd a dhìon dhaibh pèin, ann a bhith a’ cruthachadh sgeama dealain-uisge.
Agus ann an Sìona, tha sinn a’ faicinn cleachdaidhean uisge sean ’s ùr. Bho Bharraidean-talmhainn Rìs Honghe Hani – far a bheil muinntir Hani a’ stiùireadh siostam toinnte gus an t-uisge aca a chruinneachadh, a th’ air a bhith timcheall mìle bliadhna – gu na bailtean ùra “spuinnse” air an dealbhachadh gus uisge a bharrachd a chùmhnadh.
Le pàtrain uisge a’ fàs nas mì-chinntich, ciamar a tha sinn a’ dèanamh a’ chuid as fheàrr leis an nì as prìseile a th’ againn?
We explore rain as a valuable commodity, which helps shape economies and impacts all our lives. Rajendra Singh is known as the Water Man of India. By reviving an ancient rain harvesting method, he has helped communities regenerate once arid landscapes. Singh believes these kinds of results can only be achieved on a local level.
Anne travels to the stunning Applecross Peninsula where abundant rainfall has helped this remote community ensure its own future with the creation of a hydro scheme.
And in China we witness rain practices old and new. From the Honghe Hani Rice Terraces - where for 1000 years the Hani people have managed an intricate system to harvest their rainwater - to the modern “sponge” cities. Show less
