By 2025, half the world's population will lack access to freshwater. For millions across Asia, this is already a reality. We turn the spotlight to three countries: Vietnam's Mekong Delta is in the grip of the most severe water shortage in living memory. Declaring a state of emergency, the local government have begun transporting freshwater into the worst affected areas. Over 24 hours, we follow a young durian farmer, Ms. Nho as she races to keep her small farm alive. This emergency water is her family's final lifeline. In Singapore, urban fish farmers are forced to conserve the water they have, as they strive to protect Singapore's food security in an increasingly unpredictable climate. In Jakarta, people's daily search for water is threatening the megacity's very existence. Over-extraction of groundwater is causing the city to sink by up to 25cm a year. We follow two well-diggers as they manually install a 12-metre well at a residential property - but at what cost?

This brings things home to me. I have a large koi pond of around 120,000 ltrs Evaporation and the need for fresh water means I add around 5% a day, so some so about 5400 ltrs a day. One thing I notice is that the farmer who gets the water sprinkles her water, this allows for a lot of evaporation, she would be better drip feeding I think, and what does her husband do.

heres why jakarta situation is very silly: 1. they build houses in silly area such as swamps and stone area like in your video. those stone area can barely get any water, while those who live in swamp area get flood every year. 2. they get flood yearly in many areas not just those in swamp areas, and yet other areas still experience drought. it's a proof of poor water management system. like why dont they just save or transport those flood water somewhere else with extreme drought. 3. and finally, they blame the heck out of climate change. their "sea water level rise" is mainly caused of their insane extraction of ground water (the ground lowers, not the sea level rising). they just need to implement a good system here not just blaming climate change left and right, but yes obviously nobody in charge and/or government is willing to implement a proper watering system.

I think you are either too lazy to find out the info, or illiterate and cannot read news. FYI, we got 4 taps in Singapore. 1st tap which is the NEWater that recycle water provides up to 40% of Singapore’s water supply. 2nd tap is the desalination plants which converts sea to drinkable water and we just complete 4th plant this Sept, we have 5th plant completing this year too which when all 5 plants complete can provide >50% of water supply for current needs. The 3rd tap is reservoir which provides 10% of our needs and lastly the malaysia tap. We still need to play nice to Malaysia simply because we have to lower the cost of desalination as it’s still costlier than importing water from Johor. I like to also remind you that the reason our government is trying their best to do all these many years ago is because we understand Malaysia’s Tunku once said that any unhappiness with Singapore they can always turn our water tap off. We never wanted to be at any country’s mercy so we have to be self sufficient at all cost even before our water agreement is up. Actually we need to thank Malaysia for this water issue. If not for their threats we will probably never be more ready.

For the past 30 years, global warming, had melted over 40% of glaciers in Tibet. In the next 25 years, there may be little glaciers left to provide rivers and stream with fresh water. Instead of polluting water with sewage, chemicals, fertilizers and dead bodies, people in downstream countries should (1) educate public on water conservation, (2) stop polluting water, (3) develop water management for sustainable usage. Yangtze River has just started the 10 year moratorium on fishing. Likewise, Mekong should introduce moratorium on fishing ban. The government must compensate fishermen for the moratorium.

Having to face water shortage practically all years round, shouldn't nations act like China to harness water from regions of plentiful water to the the drier areas; instead of spending so much on defense budgets? India could have done better using similar man-made canal to distribute water across the country. In smaller area like Java Island, the government could create larger artificial reservoirs by enlarging existing ones so that the rain water could be saved for later use. After all heavy rains occur rather often in the tropical areas. There should be a change among the Asian nations so that expenditures on defense of every nation could be reduced towards creating infrastructure that promote economic progress. To reduce defense expenditures of each nation, there should be some kind of platform where the concern of all nations could be openly discussed and resolved!

We are seriously mismanaging our resources. The point, however, isn't the sum total of water on the planet, but how much is usable by humans for drinking, irrigation, hygiene, etc. Water contamination by industry has drastically reduced the volume of clean, potable water available and global heating is causing more droughts, of longer duration, causing flooding that further contaminates water sources, melting glaciers that humans rely on for water, etc.

Now imagine 50% of the buildings in Singapore captures just 5,000 gallons of water per storm in a cistern and uses that water to flush toilets, for cleaning, or bathing, or industrial use like the fish and shrimp farm. This water is very clean with zero treatment and can, if stored correctly, be used as drinking water as well with little or no treatment. (many people use only filtration)

@@ditsygirl5409 Didn't you know that water desalination would lead to the Ocean saltier. and saltier ..and eventually will kill all the Fish and anything living in it , imagine the sea surrounds Singapore has become a pure salty liquid with no more fresh water to extract and not a single Fish or algae could exist there , scary eh ?

Julius Vinh you mean if it kills the fishes, if it did Malaysia and Indonesia will be the first to complain already. If you think Singapore government don’t understand or don’t care like other countries, we check the water for saltiness periodically after releasing the brine to the sea to Ensure there’s no damage to surrounding waters. We always check and test if things are sustainable before deciding that desalination is workable here. If not we are just killing ourself in another way.

People should take water as precious and limited resource. Everyday i see people use it carelessly like it's unlimited. For me, really frustrating scene to see with knowledge that some people seriously run out of it. People take convinience over everything that it's already cross the limit.

Yeah like for laundry, people use too much detergent and throw the used water to wherever. Usually the housing developer creates a settlement without the water plan (where the sewer water go). And some people carelessly ignore simple thing like not turning off the tap water when they've already used it.

If you're in a developed country, you'll be safe at least on water space, because the countries can afford to build desalination plants. If you're from a poor country, you're pretty much fucked. Next 20-30 years will be a weird time

guys, it is ALREADY HAPPENING half of the Brazilian - São Paulo state dams/water reservoir are below 40%. The pantanal region is on fire. The Amazon is on fire. The rivers are dry. In the arctic regions also there is enormous fires. The USA california along neighbor states are on fire. The aquifers are drying up due to excessive monoculture of crops (in my country case, sugar cane) they are making once a fertile soil, dry and sandy.
