    Officials in Cape Town caution that the Day Zero threat will surpass anything a major city has faced since World War II or the Sept. 11 attacks. The reason? The city's water supply is dangerously close to running dry.http://nyti.ms/2Gwy15J

        80% increase in population since 1995 (from 2.4m to 4.3m) plus a drought for 3 years. This is not a short term issue. It will happen again and again if it is not addressed. Massive population changes have this impact: water is essential.

        Cape Town is a costal City, I know it’s very expensive, but is desalination an option?

        One of the many reasons I fought the misguided bottled water ban in Concord. A) People need water to survive and B) Disasters, wars, droughts & emergencies happen. It's naive to think you can wave a magic wand & have water delivered under any circumstance @DIVIDEINCONCORD

        Poor management, you can't function without drinking water, why didn't they start rationing sooner rather than later. In Australia we've had to have water restrictions and they do work if everyone pulls together.

        In todays world there is no reason every person on earth can not have clean drinking water. This is so wrong and yet can be fixed very easily. The reason it not been fixed is simple. There is no way for people to make money on giving people clean drinking water. SAD Very SAD

        nothing counts or matters if there is no water - the haves & have nots will all be in the same boat that doesn't float anymore
