      On our island we have a population of between 3500 and 4500 depending on number of visitors and have only relatively recently sorted a sustainable supply for the homes and distilleries etc, being a Scottish west coast Isle it very rarely dries out ! Water is well purified,on a ring main ,with one main and two sub treatment plants, no sediments or strong tastes , occasional chlorine tang , but a far cry from the water up north end of Jura ! There it came straight from the hill with all the micro organisms and stained everything brown from the peat . OK boiled for tea... was eventually sorted I believe, I hope so, a drop of that water under the microscope was fascinating 😮😮

      In south Africa there is but the problem is many of it is wasted up. 40 percent of is wasted on leaks and the water treatment plants are badly maintained which means if you have water, it is undrinkable so in south Africa there is enough water, but problem is it is wasted or dirty

    Great video, since dry season are longer and at the same time heavy rainning are more offen, Singapore gives a perfect follow example.

    Here in Israel, at least 80% of the wastewater is treated and used for agriculture. It is even transported from the middle to the north, where most of the water is used by agriculture.

      Hey there! Yes, the sea level rise threatens lots of places around the world. One of them Indonesia. They opened their new capital Nusantara just about a month ago. We did a longer video on their plan 👉th-cam.com/video/Bt289hq2T8k/w-d-xo.html

    • @ArianrhodTalon

      My prof in Uni shared with us that he was consulted by the government about how much sea levels will rise in 50 years time. It’s difficult to predict, but he did say prepare for 1m. And they took his advice and raised the development projects happening around Marina Bay by 1m.
      They look 50 years ahead.
      And ‘a few metres of sea level rise’ as OP said is a gross overestimation. 1 metre is indeed about right given current estimates.

      Indonesia government had just approved export of "sedimentation". Singapore will import the "sedimentation" to reclaim land and seawalls.

      If Singapore is able to plan long term for the lack of portable water, you can bet that they are also more than capable to plan for rising sea levels. You could search for Long Island Singapore for more information on that.

    “The rainwater” was preserved on purpose to prevent trouble, may be medical purpose?
    It’s time to get the bucket (of rainwater) and use the “rainwater” sooner time before another trouble begins.
    Indeed, that preserved “Rainwater” needs to be given, Who actually that water belongs to…
    Urgent request.

    Lol. How they solve their water crisis? By refusing to renegotiate on pre-colonial water agreement and buying cheap water from Malaysia. Then, claim to be a rich developed country. Nothing to be proud about.
