Podcasts about water crisis

If you listen to this podcast for any length of time, you'll know that I believe the way forward is predicated on our finding shared values—I'd go for integrity, compassion, courage and generosity of spirit as the baselines—and then a suite of clear asks in the outer world and needs in the inner world.  In logistical terms, at an absolute baseline, we need Clean Air, Clean Water, Clean Soil. These are non negotiable and the fact that we currently have none of these is a grim indictment of how much we live in an economy that sucks the life out of everything rather than a society that grows. But we do have people who are working flat out to change the narrative on exactly these topics and this week's guest, Tim Smedley, is one of these.  Tim is an award-winning sustainability journalist who has worked with the BBC, the Guardian, Sunday Times and Financial Times. He is also a celebrated non-fiction writer. His first book, Clearing the Air: The Beginning and the End of Air Pollution, was shortlisted for the UK's Royal Society Science Book Prize. His latest: The Last Drop: Solving the World's Water Crisis was a Times Book of the Year and has been described as 'Smart, Sobering and Scholarly' which it certainly is.This is one of those books that's both terrifying, utterly compelling and—I'm glad to say—ultimately inspiring.  Yes, the world's water is in a desperate state.  Yes, it has been horribly mismanaged almost everywhere by the kleptocracy that masquerades as a democracy in our modern world.  But yes, we do have responses that will work, they have been carefully explored and water is one of those unifying elements that brings people together across tribal boundaries. We all need clean water and getting there means we need to find common principles by which we can live. Spoiler alert: turning water into a for-profit commodity is not a part of the solution.  Regenerative agriculture, re-Wilding our waters, beavers (yay!) and sane water saving/sparing practices definitely are. Tim is so knowledgeable and his books are both brilliantly researched and utterly personal.  He goes to the places he writes about and his first-hand experiences are priceless.  I have put links in the show notes for both of his books, plus the Medium article on DeGrowth which is where I first came across his work.  Please do explore afterwards.

Amy MacIver is joined by EWN Parliamentary Correspondent Lindsay Dentlinger to unpack Water and Sanitation Minister Pemmy Majodina’s recent claim that South Africa is not facing a bulk water crisis — but rather a supply and governance problem. Lindsay explains what came out of the Minister’s first appearance before Parliament’s SCOPA, including shocking stats on municipal underperformance, ballooning water board debt, and the limits of national intervention. Together, they explore whether this signals real reform — or more rhetoric. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist.

What happens when an entire city runs out of water? In this eye-opening episode, 20-year-old Mexico City native Alina Feldman shares what it's like to live under the looming threat of “Day Zero”—the moment when the taps run dry. The crisis is so severe that desperation has led to fights and even kidnappings over water. Alina exposes the unequal burden of the crisis and the government's failure to act. She raises a critical question: Should the government prioritize environmental issues, or are there more immediate concerns that demand attention? She also highlights a grassroots organization, founded within Mexico City's Jewish community, that is stepping in where the government has fallen short. Climate change isn't a distant threat—it's already at our doorstep. Alina's story is a stark reminder that crisis can strike when we least expect it.

Imagine living with half the water you use today—that's the reality for millions around the globe. Water, once an abundant resource, is now under siege due to population growth, climate change, and unsustainable use, with ripple effects on food security, health, and economies. Amid this crisis, hope flows through initiatives like Tarun Bharat Sangh (TBS), led by Rajendra Singhji, famously known as the 'Waterman of India.' TBS has rejuvenated rivers like Arvari and Ruparel in Rajasthan, combining ancient wisdom like johads (earthen dams) with modern water management practices. Their grassroots approach has empowered communities, particularly women, to take charge of their water future. Today, we are joined by Maulik Sisodia, Executive Director at TBS and son of Rajendra Singhji, to delve into the story of TBS and the fight to conserve water. Discussion Highlights: Growing Up with the ‘Waterman of India': Maulik shares personal stories of how his father's work influenced his journey. Women at the Heart of Change: Exploring the transformative role of women in community-led water management. Adapting to Modern Challenges: How TBS addresses the hurdles of water conservation in a rapidly urbanizing India. Merging Tradition with Innovation: The synergy of ancient practices and modern water solutions. What You Can Do: Practical steps for individuals to contribute to water conservation. Join us for an insightful conversation on how grassroots initiatives can tackle global challenges, one community at a time If your organisation is dedicated to driving positive social change, we want to hear from you.
