About The Dutch Strategy: Why the Netherlands Floods Its Own Land | Water is our Future (5/5)
For centuries the Dutch have tamed the sea with dykes and criss-crossed their country with canals and waterways. But climate change is whipping up storms and raising the sea level. The Netherlands is now seeking a new pact with water in order to protect the low-lying country. They’re making use of state-of-the-art technologies and the power of nature – and are systematically making space for the water elsewhere. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Introduction ▷ 00:52 - The Dutch and the Sea ▷ 02:31 - Amsterdam Below Sea Level ▷ 06:11 - Battling the Waves with Sand ▷ 07:47 - The Sandmotor Experiment ▷ 11:10 - 1953 Flood Disaster ▷ 12:08 - The Delta Works ▷ 14:03 - Oysters and the Eastern Scheldt ▷ 17:44 - Oyster Reefs as Natural Defenses ▷ 19:32 - Windmills and Polders ▷ 23:06 - Living with the Risk of Floods ▷ 25:33 - Room for the River ▷ 30:17 - Farmers Forced to Adapt ▷ 35:35 - New Landscapes in the Polders ▷ 37:28 - Nature Returns - De Biesbosch Park ▷ 41:37

We’re witnessing the comeback of a small river and an entire landscape. For decades the Emscher in the Ruhr District was the most polluted river in Europe. Now it’s being returned from an industrial sewer to a natural river system.

Hardly a drop of water makes it to the estuary of the Colorado. Once it reaches Mexico, after its journey through the Rocky Mountains, the Grand Canyon and Nevada, the river is dry – and has been for decades. The demand for water in its catchment area is just too big. But conservationists are now working to make the estuary green again. They’re persuading people along the Colorado to give some of its water back to the river. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Introduction ▷ 00:51 - The Colorado River and Its Journey ▷ 04:19 - Hoover Dam and Lake Mead ▷ 06:03 - Drought and Water Shortage ▷ 08:02 - Las Vegas - A Desert Playground ▷ 09:36 - Water Cops and Conversation ▷ 12:50 - Desert Gardens and Adaptation ▷ 18:34 - Golf Courses and Water Use ▷ 21:25 - Recycling Water in Las Vegas ▷ 24:13 - Lower Colorado and the Mojave Desert ▷ 26:18 - Imperial Dam and Farmland ▷ 28:52 - Feeding America from the Desert ▷ 33:11 - Settlers and Water Rights in Yuma

Known as the island of 100 volcanoes, Lanzarote is the easternmost island in the Canary Islands. Volcanic cones are dotted across the island’s dramatic landscape, forged by the struggle between fire and water. Massive Atlantic waves that crash up against the reef formed by the volcanic eruptions in the past make Lanzarote a surfer’s paradise (we interview a famous big wave surfer and a body boarder, and see them in action!). Wind and ash have made the land fertile, yet but extremely difficult to farm, as is evident in the vineyards and biological vegetable farms featured. Eruptions over the centuries destroyed much of the island, leaving an underground labyrinth of lava tubes and secret underwater lakes. The award winning wines cultivated here in a unique agricultural practice show just how resilient both man and nature are. ------- Chapters ▷ 0:00 - Intro ▷ 00:49 - Lanzarote - Land of 100 Volcanoes | In the Shadow of Volcanoes (5/5) ▷ 44:42 - Credits ------- ------- Millions of people around the world live under the shadow of a volcano.
