"Cape Town, South Africa is in crisis mode right out of a Mad Max movie. Given current water consumption, the city has approximately 90 days until it runs out of water.
The city recently pushed forward what they call Day Zero, where the city will be forced to shut off water supplies to all but essential consumers, such as hospitals. This would mark the first major city in the world to run out of water, a result of a prolonged 3-year drought...."
3 year drought is causing the water reservoir to go dry. |
It is interesting that the Tourism Board is completely in denial of this. My bro just had a vacation in Cape Town last week with his family, and besides a wildfire that was put out in the residential area they were in , not a peep about this...I asked.
They flew in from Egypt, but evidently there were a lot of foreigners/ ex- pats that vacation there. Who knew???
