Mad Max Scenario: Cape Town Will Run Out Of Water In Just 90 Days

Mad Max Scenario: Cape Town Will Run Out Of Water In Just 90 Days

"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.
