Turning goats into water: A solution for the desert - BBC News
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 тра 2017
- Fariel Salahuddin is not the type of person you’d expect to see wandering around rural Pakistan, especially with a herd of goats. She’s a successful energy consultant who has worked around the world. But when she returned to where she grew up, Pakistan, Fariel decided she wanted to work on smaller projects to try to make an immediate impact and provide solar energy to poor, rural communities. This was all very well, until she realised these places didn’t have water, let alone power. What they did have was goats. Fariel developed an innovative scheme to trade what the villagers have in plentiful supply for something they desperately needed: goats for water. But what was Fariel going to do with all her newly acquired goats?

turning goats into water and trading goats for water are two very different things, is the BBC not getting enough viewers without click bating?
*+noorudeen abdul hamid*
Well if you're that big of an idiot that you think a person can turn an animal into water, you've got bigger issues than worrying about click bait.
I thought they were using the goats in a sustainable way to eat scrubs and let the grasses grow and bring back the rains or some shit.
Taking that old ladies only goat. .. heartless
@Mohit Patel exactly
@Mohit Patel the goat is nothing to the woman compared to water. In any case, if there was no collateral the pump wouldn't have lasted. Either destroy by the villagers, or kids, or misused etc. Now even if someone if bent on vandalism, the whole village will give him/she a good beating, because they invested goats in that pump!!
BBC IS A FUXKIN SCAM
I am disappointed. I thought they had found a way to turn goats into water.
Felippe
Would you drink goat water ?
Clickbait.
You are funny... Squeeze out the goat's blood and extract the water. 😁
kkkkkkk me too I was like what? check it out.
Me too😞😞😞
BBC must fire the person responsible behind these clickbait and misleading titles.
" Trading goats for water" should have been the title.
I was thinking the same thing butl I realized how silly the idea of turning goats into water is. I still agree it was misleading.

They did it on the planet Arakis (Dune)

what a rough life, and yet people survive there for 100's of years. The lady at 3:30 humbles me. She gave up her only goat to pitch in for the water project. Most people don't understand how lucky they are to just turn on a faucet and get fresh, clean water. If we don't start doing some conservation soon, we may end up in a similar situation someday.
Great initiative by the lady. They should plant more trees in those deserted area as china and Israel did in their dry barren lands. so that the rain water won't run away and rather absorbed by the roots and seep below recharging the ground water.
There is no words to express my gratitude towards her...may god bless her
God bless you Fariel. You are doing what our governments should be doing. Sooti is so sweet and her thankfulness for your work is so genuine! Love & respect from India.
What a kind lady! Passionate to help villagers in such way! That poor lady was only in her 50s and she looked so haggard!!! Having toiled all her life in the desert!!!!!
She is a hero ❤
She's a real life hero !
Stop arguing on how and what she did
Atleast she changed their lives !
May allah u and grant u jannah .
Wow people like you are still there ...
May Allah Grant you jaza
Why are they not planting more plants
rajeev degavekar it's a desert, hard to do it without technology
dedek kurniawan there are some plants which can be planted so there will be good environment for rain in incoming years
ритттп
May be because they only have goats
Africa and China already successfully converted desert into forest with lakes. China is providing free lesson, go learn from them. Looks like u need more people to help plant trees.
Good works she is doing....but i must admit i came here to really look how goats are killed and turned to water😅😅😅😅.....that title got me lol
Change the title to "Trading goats with water". You read it like its magically turning goats into water. Misleading.
look into Geoff Lawton's greening of the desert with Permaculture. They need to plant trees and get the rain cycle going again. This is not a solution, just a temporary bandage. Africa needs to get serious about Greening their lands.
havfaith S. His claims remains unfounded scientifically. Yes, I would agree it can be used to turn barren lands fertile and green again and that would also increase the rainfall in that area but turning naturally occurring deserts green, you have to be smoking something green to believe in it.
havfaith S. As for the Geoff Lawton's little experiment, it cannot be used to turn real deserts like Sahara or Thar green. These have different topography than Dead sea where the salinity and the temperature were the culprit. These are micro factors which can be changed with permaculture. Sahara desert on the other hand exists because of the macro factors (global), you will have to change things like ocean currents for example in order to make it rain there, planting trees and irrigating such a land would only cause droughts and form more barren lands (deserts) elsewhere.
havfaith S. Uh this is Pakistan not africa
check it out works globally. They need to restore their land. it can be reforested
havfaith S. true this is not a permanent solution..the ground water will run out too.. lawtons solution is much more sustainable
This girl needs to be rewarded National Prize....!!
Really nice work done by this young lady, but should teach them the best way to preserve water
Wow! I absolutely loved this concept. Charity makes people feel uninvolved in their life. But when they offer something valuable they are inadvertently taking responsibility of that change. Imposing charity is not a good idea. These people feel like they are part of this project in their own way and this makes them want to make it successful. Good job Miss Fariel!
Ok what you can also do is install a fog net to collect waters. Very easy and cheap.
Also plants you need to start getting the villagers together and start growing plants lots of it everywhere. Trees is a must for your goat and also it help to restored the land.
Guys at least the villagers are getting water, give the lady some credit for that instead of complaining on how you got clickbaited.
I'm SO glad it's about paying for energy and not melting goats for water or something.
Happy to see smile from children's face...... Am from India
Thank you for this Fariel
Looking at the title, I thought it was BEAR GRYLLS kind of turning goat into water😂😂
What was the connection with goat...it was a fair trade but was it worth BBC news....
1:57 Mistake:: 10000 Pakistani Rupee is equal to around 65 pound and not 800 pound.....pls correct it BBC
Allah bless her
1:57 10,000 PKR do not equal to £800, it's I believe around £100.
It's £80, not £800.
chal waaaa....... 1 pound is equal to 152 Pakistani rupees.
means it still not 100 pounds
Good thinking Fariel, you helped these fine folks turn some of their liabilities (excess goats) into a wonderful and much needed asset. The sun is hot there, I hope they will find ways to conserve this most precious resource.
Am proud that she is doing something for her folks...
Good work fariel. faryal.
It's amazing that someone would give so much of their time and effort to help out strangers.
What are they doing to replenish the aquifers? Eventually the water will run out unless they plant trees or use beavers or something to keep and store water in the environment.

Dams n forests plantation..govt is doing..
tricky title....but awesome effort ....hatoff...love from india
Hats off to this remarkable effort n a great idea of awesome woman that brought rainbow of colours in pitty full life of villager's specially women , mam u worth tons of appreciation 💐💐
Hmmmm...goes into the desert and has a thought _I realised there was a need for water_ LOL
''Turning goats into water'' I really expected something different.
I wish there are more people like her. Always out there thinking of ideas to change the world for the better. Kudos!
Women can change anything and bring heaven to Earth, Hats of to you mam
I was very happy when they said the goats were happy too
Provide them some seeds to grow vegetables with that water
Should read - turning goats into solar panels! LOL!
Allah give you jazaekhair !!!
Ameen
thanks bbc for thus and thankfully to that lady who made this
You know the subtle bias when she tells good english still there are subtitles. But thats not the case with other western countries
Best thing is that you traded the for goats and told them to live on their own.
I thought they'd liquidise the goats and run them through a filter, I've been duped.
Now teach them how to save and harvest water...
She did great job.
Correction:*Turning Snow-Dogs into Oil:A Solution for the Snowland*
Wow ! Excellent solution , surreal audio !
Why did I thought that they will fill water inside goats !😂
Phenomenal effort !!! Need people like you friel salahuddin..!!! Speechless again..!! I am moved to the fact that you managed to spare TIME to think about these villagers ; which we people in the city never do...so..great job..MashAllah
Pakistan is really a beautiful place .. Love these people..
Very nice work she did there.. How one person can change the whole village vibe!
WATER IS IMPORTANT & MAIN SOUCE OF LIVING. WE MUST SAVE AND CARE WATER.
And the goats left over seem happier too.... They're having more kids
I thought they would squeeze every drop of fluid out of the goat 😂
that was some serious goat science right there.
Not a water shortage, too many people for the water they have.
So a few goats for water basically. The goats are a proto currency.
You had made great effort...may you make further progress!
Soooo many goats... curious what the goats eat, as the place completely covered in sand.
Title is misleading, but still good .
I can read big comments, but it's this lady's action that counts, at least a first step. Big thanks to you. Pakistani Drama makers makes big money, will they not help you or make a drama out of this ? Just ignore those indians jealous of your work, no one there will be able to do what you did.
They said the diesel pump was "unreliable" and thought we should replace it with something powered by solar panels and goats. Sounds like an environmental job.
Wow , good hard effort for a rich person in Pakistan , and make a contribution to the poor class , and through her acts show the village in sindh ,it's tough but hard work , and special offers , allah will see you through , ameen , may allah give this lady a place in jannat al firdous , when the time comes.
It's really nice.she works for sindh i like it very much.
proud on that lady.
no wonder .. can't expect more than this from this channel
Very heart touching I think every country must focus on peoples basic need not on military upgradeation specifically like Pakistan Afghanistan
It is so fulfilling to see happy people, but I was expecting something of a miracle
Good work!
If they set up a go fund me page they could have collected enough money to buy that solar water thing ,than giving up their goats so they could get a water pump . I’m quite disappointed.
good work fariel , I wish I could be there to help. thank you for your hard work
The video title was a tad misleading. It's a video about alternative currency, and I thought they were gonna use the goats to produce water somehow.
Any news about the systemic unintended consequences of raising the demand for goats and reasons for breeding bigger numbers? Usually, when we use "linear thinking" we are good at creating 2 problems while solving 1.
I thought goat is mode of transport to carry water from near by area...But its incredible act of making good in others life..
I thought from the title that they used milked the goats and found a way to turn it into water lol. Also what do they do with all the goats they collect?
Keep up the good work,Fariel
The beautiful goat @0.17 to 0.20 was really smiling. check it out she is so funny and pretty
The title sounded like alchemy.
Great technique.. proper use of Fund flow💞
Phew I got worried about how the water would taste for a second.
Bravo, Fariel! 😊
I thought they will blend the goats in a giant blender then strain them with super filtration process
great work....to help needy peoples
pure intelligent business... goats can catch bids upto thousands of dollars during high time
plantation must be started now and then in near by water reservoirs. This way, the environment will be starting to look green. the green environment thus can be used as food for Goats. Also, Green environment means the water source will start to emerge beneath the ground as well. I believe, it definitely works out in the deserted places like this.
i though they were turning goats into water and i was like wtf how
I thought I would see goats turn into water somehow. the title is misleading. >:0
She made good bussiness.
I thought Goats were gonna be turned into water, like the fremen do to people in "Dune"
Thank you very much Madan hope you will do something similar in district tharparkar
When u finally thought u have found an actual magic video
I actually came to see goats literally turned into water
Take their goats to drain ground water, Because they don't have money !! What innovation.
and here i am watching goat barter to water pump
Just looks like she is making an opportunity out of their situation, they had pumps and means of driving them already so why be all eco friendly when get more expensive means of digging out the water when the water is already scarce.
Kudos!
