001.VIKING BOER – RESOURCES – GLOBAL WATER CRISIS PART 1, 2 + 3

THE FIGHT FOR WATER [Part 1]

This is a three-part documentary series.
Part 1: The fight for water
Part 2: What happens when our water dries up?
Part 3: Who owns the water?

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?

What happens when our water dries up [Part 2]

This is a three-part documentary series.
Part 1: The fight for water
Part 2: What happens when our water dries up?
Part 3: Who owns the water?

Climate change is causing rising temperatures, extreme weather events and more and more drought. And, in this changing reality, everyone needs more water. Humans are competing with the natural world for water. What does this mean for biodiversity?

Fewer and fewer countries still have an abundance of water. The climate crisis, overpopulation, and overexploitation are the root of this global problem. And, in a warming world, everyone is using more water: people, agriculture, and industry.

In Germany, streams and ponds are disappearing, and forests and soils are drying out. What does this mean for biodiversity? And how do people cope with drought in countries that have even less water — for example, in the USA or Mexico? What happens when our water dries up?

Who owns the water? [Part 3]

This is a three-part documentary series.
Part 1: The fight for water
Part 2: What happens when our water dries up?
Part 3: Who owns the water?

Climate change is causing temperatures to rise. And everyone is consuming more water – whether it’s to make soda, microchips, or cattle feed. But our reservoirs are running dry. Investors are buying water rights, prices are going up and farmers are running out of water.

The climate crisis is worsening worldwide. In many countries, increasing drought is threatening not only human survival but entire ecosystems. Livestock farmers are running out of water. In India, farmers can no longer irrigate their fields. People are fleeing their homes in large numbers.
Who owns the water? Will there be more and more conflicts, even wars, over water?
What will happen if our water disappears?
