Bhutan threatened by climate change | Global Ideas

Bhutan contributes nothing to climate change, but is struggling with its consequences. Glaciers are melting, the monsoon rains come irregularly, drought and floods are destroying crops. But the country is fighting the water crisis with bold ideas.

I live in Australia a country also dry and short on water, the key is to increase storage capacity, ie, larger and more water tanks , that way when it rains it is collected and saved. Every roof is a potential water catchment and many people now have water tanks beside their houses and sheds.

[@pokeman6543]

They have water tanks but because of water sitting for long periods it becomes stagnant and bacteria breeds and becomes undrinkable that is the issue.

[@startracksha]

I live in Russia and I dont understand what are you talking about. Need water - open a tap.

[@shauncameron8390]

[@victoriarichardson1471]

Thank you for the important information. But I have watched the news that Sydney is flooding.

[@ligbzd837]

The most important point of these environmental videos is this: water shortage is all over the world and it seriously impacts food production all over the world. There is no one country that is immune from this problem.

@You Tube Yes, we need to control population growth in developing countries and overconsumption in developed countries. Although this has been known for a long time, we aren't doing much. If only we muster up the will to do half of what we already know, we would be in a better place.

[@parrsnipps4495]

They need to get up to speed on capturing water so it isn't contaminated, indoor plumbing & sanitation services. Modern hydro infrastructure. Build a damn if you need to or drill down & fill an aquifor. The days of getting water the old fashioned way may have worked at one time, but this is a new climate.

[@chrisk2557]

2:04 Why aren't they riding *INSIDE* the car? Lol. Bhutan is such a lovely country (I've only ever seen on the internet!). I would love to visit (in person!). I just wish you weren't required to have 5:39 government minders taking you from village to village in scripted and carefully overseen scenarios! I'm glad they now have internet access and many cities are flourishing, but I also hope the rural communities and towns can grow and see some of this tourism wealth lead to technological and wise industrial change! I love that Bhutan cares for their forest and native nature; I also believe Bhutan could be a major contributor to hydropower and use those profits to help the monarchy and the individuals.

Guanghung Lo. What did you mean, when you said, "causing Elephants" ?

[@KJSvitko]

Population needs to be in balance with jobs, resources, nature and the environment. Having a bigger population in any country than the country can support makes no sense. Access to food, water, shelter and jobs should guide population levels. The worlds population is still expected to add another billion people to feed, clothe and produce pollution. Humans are crowding out all other species of plants and animals. Education and birth control are key to reducing poverty and hunger. Having a child that you can not provide for yourself is cruel and irresponsible. We need solutions not just sympathy. Endless population growth is not sustainable on a finite planet. Every country needs to "TRY" to be more self sufficient. When there are not enough resources to sustain a population something has to give. Countries need to focus on quality of life for their citizens and not just quantity of life for cheap labor.

theres a easy solution for these kind of problems world wide 1) throw nuclear missiles in every country so that vast areas become unaccessable to humans 2) let nature take those areas back for the next 500 to 1000 years just like in chernobyl 3) more trees= more co2 recycling nature style = more cleaner oxygen 4) more wild life diversity thats undisturbed you could say, thats a win win situation :D
