Luach An Uisge/The Value of Rain
Anne Lundon explores rain鈥檚 value to communities around the world. Tha Anne Lundon a鈥 rannsachadh luach an uisge ann an coimhearsnachdan air feadh an t-saoghail.
Anns an treas pr貌gram, tha sinn a鈥 rannsachadh uisge mar bhathar luachmhor, a tha a鈥 cuideachadh ann a bhith a鈥 toirt cumadh air an eaconamaidh agus a tha toirt buaidh air ar beatha.
Tha Rajendra Singh aithnichte mar Fear Uisge nan Innseachan. Le bhith ag ath-bhe貌thachadh seann dh貌igh air uisge a bhuain, tha e air coimhearsnachdan a chuideachadh le bhith a鈥 beathachadh talmhainn lom. Tha Singh a鈥 creidsinn gur ann aig 矛re ionadail a-mh脿in a 鈥檚 urrainnear na toraidhean seo a choileanadh.
Bidh Anne a鈥 siubhal gu Rubha 脿lainn na Comraich, far a bheil t貌rr uisge air a鈥 choimhearsnachd iomallach seo a chuideachadh an t-脿m ri teachd a dh矛on dhaibh p猫in, ann a bhith a鈥 cruthachadh sgeama dealain-uisge.
Agus ann an S矛ona, tha sinn a鈥 faicinn cleachdaidhean uisge sean 鈥檚 霉r. Bho Bharraidean-talmhainn R矛s Honghe Hani 鈥 far a bheil muinntir Hani a鈥 sti霉ireadh siostam toinnte gus an t-uisge aca a chruinneachadh, a th鈥 air a bhith timcheall m矛le bliadhna 鈥 gu na bailtean 霉ra 鈥渟puinnse鈥 air an dealbhachadh gus uisge a bharrachd a ch霉mhnadh.
Le p脿train uisge a鈥 f脿s nas m矛-chinntich, ciamar a tha sinn a鈥 d猫anamh a鈥 chuid as fhe脿rr leis an n矛 as pr矛seile a th鈥 againn?
We explore rain as a valuable commodity, which helps shape economies and impacts all our lives. Rajendra Singh is known as the Water Man of India. By reviving an ancient rain harvesting method, he has helped communities regenerate once arid landscapes. Singh believes these kinds of results can only be achieved on a local level.
Anne travels to the stunning Applecross Peninsula where abundant rainfall has helped this remote community ensure its own future with the creation of a hydro scheme.
And in China we witness rain practices old and new. From the Honghe Hani Rice Terraces - where for 1000 years the Hani people have managed an intricate system to harvest their rainwater - to the modern 鈥渟ponge鈥 cities.
