South Africa: Cape Town Slashes Water Use Amid Drought
South Africa's drought-stricken Cape Town told residents on Wednesday they would need to cut their daily water consumption by nearly half from next month as authorities scramble to prevent the city running out of the water as soon as in April. "Despite our urging for months to save water, 60% of Capetonians are carelessly using more than 87 litres of water per day".
A person uses about 15 litres per minute for a typical shower and the same amount when flushing a standard toilet, according to WaterWise, a South African water usage awareness campaign.
Cape Town, a major tourist destination and a city of 3.7 million people, has assessed 200 water collection points for residents as it prepares for the possible April 21 cutoff.
Ms De Lille warned that the city risked reaching "Day Zero" on 21 April, when taps in homes could run dry.
