The fight for water | DW Documentary

Disneyland literally uses millions of gallons of water a day for their little theme parks, rich people used thousands of gallons to keep their 2 acred lands in California nice and green as they leave those properties vacant year round. Sue corporations and rich people for mishandling water during a crisis

Water has always been "gold" No-one can live without it

DW is like I going to school and learn without having to pay tuition. I appreciate DW for your extremely positive contributions. Germany 🇩🇪 I love you.

This is literally why I’m going back to school and I’m going for water waste management thanks to these documentaries. I’ve been watching water docs for about a month now and I’m 24, I’m happy to say I finally know what I want to go to school for and this helped me figure that out.

Water is far more precious than gold. We can live without gold but we can never live without water

I live in a timber county in rural Georgia. There is green mold on the rocks in the forest. Huge thunderstorms almost every other day this summer. Our deep water well has sweet clear water. I am very grateful.

DW is the best. Thank you DW <3. Water shortage, pollution, and climate change are among the most important topics that need to be addressed in all the countries....

The documentary paints a stark picture of the growing water crisis fueled by climate change. It's a wake-up call for all of us to cherish this precious resource and work towards sustainable solutions. Thank you for shedding light on this critical issue.

Welcome to Zimbabwe. Most people have been living without drinking water for years now. Very informative and enlightening Doc

Reality has come to life,water is more vital than gold

And here I'm from Indonesia been complaining about months constant rain, I will appreciated rain and clean water from now on

Tree plantation, Water conservation methods, rainfall water harvesting, storing water in man made lakes etc. 🙏😭 Water conservation methods World-wide action plans required 🙏😭

Water has been the new gold for over a decade. People just don't realize it because they're used to always having it.

Imagine when you wake up in the morning you can't find anything flow anymore from your tap water. You only have three days... A very important documentary.

I live in Singapore and we don’t have water in the past (water used to be mainly imported from Malaysia and we still do today to a lesser extend) so we decided to be self sufficient since independence by allocating precious land as reservoirs and built water desalination plants and recycle our waste water. Now we are fully self sufficient if required but because desalination is expensive, we are still importing water from Malaysia. It’s important to be self sufficient not only for climate change but for our country cannot rely on others for such an important resource as it would compromise our country’s sovereignty should we unfortunately go to war one day with our Neighbours where they can threaten to cut off our water supply and we would be at their mercy if we are not water self sufficient. Therefore, I see this problem to be a common threat to countries in the future where wars will be waged for water rights.

Living in Scotland it's hard to comprehend having drought.

Very informative and eye opening documentary. We are living in uncertain and challenging times, Thanks for sharing.

Being Australian and having lived through droughts all my life, I have the greatest respect for water. I spent 4 years in Western Europe and could not believe the wastage of this precious resource!! Is this perhaps a lesson? City dwellers particularly use water without thinking. Using all the underground water without replenishing it will ultimately have huge repercussions on the globe.

Vegas acting like they are making a difference after abusing the resource is the toughest part of the story. Thank you DW for doing something the US news won't

I'm in a town southeast morocco now, and I'm really living this experience!! Hopefully I'm staying here just a night with a friend who lives here he is telling me that he is living this difficulties 1mounth and a half since the main river they pretend in is dry! And this makes me feel and live this issue seriously it's a bad thing !
