If you’ve been keeping up with the world and all its issues, then you know that a very popular city in South Africa, Cape Town, has nearly reached the fate of becoming the first city in the world to run out of water in 2018.
It was a scary time for all the residents living in Cape Town, and in the country, as much of the agricultural food supply and wealth of the entire country is generated in the tourist-attractive city.
Hence why there was an increasing sense of worry surrounding the topic.
The idea that the city was going to be the first city to run out of water and Day Zero was considered the day of doom, which was first scheduled for April 2018, and then moved to July 2018, was a remarkable incident.
Luckily for Cape Town residents, the city and entire province received an abundance of rain. Apart from the dams filling up on the brink of Day Zero, millions of residents also learned a very important lesson, which is why the entire world should look to Cape Town to learn the same.
Water is a Resource That is Taken for Granted and Will Run Out
Yes, it is the truth.
If Capetonians hadn’t experienced the fear of Day Zero, they would have never put in the effort to reduce their water usage per person, to 50 liters of water per day. Although this restriction was forced by the government, the city’s residents managed to stand together and made the water they already had, last until the winter rains.
Cape Town has taught a lesson to the world, that must continue to inspire South Africa, along with other countries around the world. There must be taught that, just because there is an abundance or enough, doesn’t mean that anyone has the right to wastewater. Particularly because, there are already hundreds of millions of individuals who don’t have access to clean running water in their homes, and also because natural water resources are set to run out eventually.
