Humans dying in famine in Madagascar - can solar water desalination solve the problem for all times?

Hello friends,
I am soory, but this time I got sad, very sad news.

Humans are dying, because of a svere drought and famine in Madagascar.

The lack of water is the most prominent reason for this famine.

I think, that not only short term help, but a long term soution is needed.

The famine will in the South of Madagascar is not the first one in this place, and it will occour repeatedtly.

The peasants need water to water their plants.

Normal wells will in the long term lead to depletion of water reserves, and sea water
desalination with fossil fuels will only make the climate crisis more severe. Even more famine will be the result.

So, it seems, that solar water desalination is the only solution.

Please read the Vikipedia article on solar desalination. The german Version of the article is very good, too. There have been solar desalination projects a back in 1998 already.

What do you think?

How can famine in Madagacar be banned once and forever?
Is solar desalination well known or not? Is this technique the sollution?

What do you know about famine in Madagascar?

Thank you for any additional information and help from your side.


It is our duty to help. Humans are suffering and dying!
May god help!!

Thank you.

Martin Schnellinger

Re: Humans dying in famine in Madagascar - can solar water desalination solve the problem for all times?

Hi Martin yr post touched my heart.
I lived some years in Mada (in the sixties when my dead father was in charge of the central pharmacy of the french army there and my mother working as a nurse at hospital).
Leaving Mada was heart-breaking. I never returned,losing all contacts as time goes by
But now the situation is worse.May be solar desalination a solution.
Water aviability will be the challenge of our century,
See what happens in Africa , climate change push a lot of refugees to the north and war may break between Egypt,Sudan and Ethiopia about the GERD Blue Nile Dam
Dont rely on wealthy nations to adress the problem but only to protect their own territories and interests.
Sorry to be so pessimistic
Regards

Re: Humans dying in famine in Madagascar - can solar water desalination solve the problem for all times?

Hello alged, Hello my friend,
thank you very vey much for your answer.
Someone is listening, thank goodness.

It is so terrible:
We are living in the 21st century, thinking about flying to mars, some people fly to space "on space holidays", space tourism.

Yet, we still let a famine happen in place in the world.

A place, that is not inaccessible or landlocked.

A place, that is accesible by sea. on an island.

It seems to me, that our priorities are wrong, terribly wrong.

Please, do something. You know the place, the territory and the conditions there.

I do not, unfortunately.

If possible, give me more info about the famine and possible soltuions.

Thank you, greetings and best whishes. Stay safe in these hard COVID times
Yours sincerely
Martin Schnellinger

It will only get worse.. Not because of "Climate Change" but because it has been foretold.
25% of Worlds Population will pass on.

"And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth."

Re: Humans dying in famine in Madagascar - can solar water desalination solve the problem for all times?

OK so we know about Madagascar and most probably other places also in the same situation. Yes solar water desalination is a solution and probably others.

Don't know much about Madagascar except where it is and what I see in documentaries. They all show a garden of Eden (paradise) with the unique wildlife except for one doc which stated that all documentaries are filmed in one little section of the country which leads us to assume it is a garden of Eden. Not true according to these posts. All good points except the BS about foretelling.

Which little section is filmed? See this image and you can easily see. (bottom right)
https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/madagascar/images/0

Now read the small article with the image. Sounds self induced doesn't it. But before jumping on the bandwagon of finger pointing remember we (North America and western EU) did the same thing. Example: Did you know the mighty Colorado river of the Grand Canyon does not even reach the sea anymore? It ends up in Mexico as a little drying creek.

So what is this thread advocating? Awareness? Helping? How? Solving the climate crisis is one (some don't even believe there is a crisis) but that is not really happening is it even with all the talk we hear. It's still just talk.

So any feel good stories on this front?

Don't rely on wealthy nations to address the problem but only to protect their own territories and interests.
We need to make it into their interests. How is still the question.

https://donatenow.wfp.org/MadagascarAppeal/~my-donation - WFP campaign for Madagascar

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.sharethemeal.app - Share the Meal app by the WFP. You can choose to donate to individual campaigns (there's 1 on Madagascar right now) or a monthly subscription that assigns your donation to a different family each month on a different country (Syria, Sudan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, etc) and tells you what they bought with your donation.

https://www.goodshop.com/search - Search engine that donates 1 cent per search to a cause you choose. You can choose the WFP for example. It's legit, SETI@home is in there and I asked an admin about it and he said the donated amount displayed on the Goodsearch website seemed to match what they had received over 5 years.

Another search engine.
Make Ecosia your default search engine so they can plant trees instead of feeding all your search data to Google so they can make more money. Yes Ecosia has ads.

https://www.ecosia.org/

Disclaimer for WFP:
The UN World Food Programme is a 100% voluntarily funded organization. For every $1 you give, 64 cents goes directly to programmes supporting hungry people.
Right now, 2 cents is used to process your donation and 6 cents helps run WFP and our programmes. 28 cents goes towards raising the next $1 (which under our ten-year plan will fall – averaging out at 22 cents between 2020-2030).

Yep, Ecosia is a good search engine and they are very transparent. I use Goodsearch on my computer and Ecosia on my phone. I disable adblockers on both engines.
