one point it was going to be the cape town would be the 1st city in the world to run out of water. we had a one in 400 year drought a very rare occurrence so this drought came in an unexpected way and we were not prepared for it certainly not its extremity. every time they're worse than carp authority or they would get what they want to not compete go to raise the flag and say there's a problem of national please help national kind with some excuse the. water has been a weapon without any question of drought between the ruling african national congress and the democratic alliance. we have to take in motion see action and that action included 2 things for which patients at most especially demoing management reducing them. move.

the ladies know what get the children going to game but mommy we must make a way you must always make a way you can tell when the government could or would go over what a sick it will want over and let's go see a week in fine with. the one taking. the a. cape town mitchell's plane as one of the many impoverished townships around the south african city. it's plagued by high unemployment and crime but in the past few

years the most urgent issue has been the water shortage. and every saturday a cold and her youngest daughter go from door to door selling their baked goods to hear the concerns of their neighbors and customers this is one of the better off variants. is really just a small houses have running water and recently installed water meters either that or. can you see. the new a new order device. replaced with this new when they don't check. on your property before they put it if they just put it in. or not they don't know

what they want to do that's about the things that. and i. don't need to devices that can work it doesn't work because now. we have this what they need this. is always problems with always problems and i don't. think it's been. the persistent drought over the past several years created panic. the residents of mitchell's plane feared the city authorities would turn off their taps 1st i've. told you that. cost is the same amount of work that they give out people company to the other one p.d.s. they've got pools they've got servants they've got a huge homes that needs to be marked windows need to be clean they go jog and then they need to come shower computor that i don't believe but i think that we are

putting at the end of this little. according to the united nations around $4000000000.00 people worldwide experience severe water scarcity cape town look to be the 1st major city to run out of water due to climate change water levels in the reservoirs that supply 99 percent of the areas water sank after the drought began in 2015. first of all there is no doubt that we are in a climate disrupting period and these last 3 and a half years of below average well below average rainfall suggests that there's something much more dramatic happening to our weather systems then anywhere near the norm and we've got to look to climate change as one of those factors that is driving that with the variability. facing a looming humanitarian disaster city officials scramble to limit the damage.

the game skinny when it didn't of rain and then dam levels just started dropping dropping. and you almost feel hopeless now you city peaked at many times i cannot allow a well run into that after what. the 4000000 residents were acutely threatened to refeed years of impending epidemics of the riots. and the economic breakdown of the region as water levels continue to sink local authorities felt they had to act . we mean we as the national government to the clinic a tended to sauce the area and when they were very slow when doing it i used my local power since the mayor to declare cape town a disaster. for years hydrology experts had warned that the cape town urgently needed to find backup water reserves but now it was too late the city's crisis

management team decided it would have to turn off the taps. and so in a period of about a year being in the sport but i don't think that we have ever implemented as many. restrictions on often. actions because in my period of of being with and. we've had to just heighten the restrictions in response to the dropping of damnable those. residents were restricted to 50 liters of water per day in europe by comparison people use an average of 30 leaders a day just to flush the toilet in cape town people without access to enough water to line up at public tap stations. for some enterprising locals the crisis was a business opportunity the so-called printers offer water delivery to households

whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa this was a dry run for daisy the ominous day when the city would turn off the municipal taps residents without personal access to water through wells or bore holes would get their daily allotments like this. never did i think that one day of my a good day that i have to trade he what. the. critics say that if officials had taken the threat of climate change seriously and found new water sources early on cape town swimming pools would not be empty but imposing strict limits was not enough the city took more drastic measures and published household usage online on a city water map. the lighter green dots indicate higher usage the city also set up a call center where citizens can report restriction offenses.

we've done naming and shaming types of. things with a listen. and we believe that at that point in time that is probably the most impactful way. bring attention to the need that everyone needs to reduce their consumption and that we have insights to how much using. the fear of public scrutiny had an effect water usage in cape town dropped from $1200000000.00 to just 500000000 liters per day. homes in durban fill an affluent and mainly white suburb of cape town are also listed people here don't want to be exposed as water wasters at least not on. this. stuff that's the 2nd shout clear.

to keep their municipal water usage down the tropic family collects the runoff from the shower. use it so i don't brace for and then. there's. new clean drinking water to josh levs. but the wealthy can afford to buy bottled drinking water which helps them stay under the published 50 leader limit. so basically this is often too much evidence become the storage space for our. mission we had about 200 bottles. or so which is were to use for cooking and drinking. it was harder. to get a little of it from from the gallons to yeah but it was it's not that it's quite a bit already.

if you want time. in the family. just to become more aware of exactly how much water we are actually using. cooking now we use the bottle of water drinking we use bottled water. you know when we pour the water bottles for their kids to take to school who we fall didn't want to. cape town is a relatively wealthy city a popular tourist destination which produces nearly 10 percent of south africa's g.d.p. concerns are growing that if the city can't guarantee its water supply the tourists will stay away and investors will leave putting a damper on the flourishing economy. and that would kill the jobs that are desperately needing to things since so i don't understand why is it that people in these polls and that poll that they are giving us

it's way too high for all people to play and it's not only bible has a lot of other people has called for. paradoxically the higher bills are due in part to keep efforts to save water reduced usage meant reduced revenues a shortfall of the equivalent of hundreds of millions of euros so the city imposed higher punitive tariffs. only control you have usually. people very for you know squeezing profit people to use listen leash but because you doing that now you revenue stream to the city suddenly suddenly is drastically reduced and therefore you have to say well we force you decide when it's good to save but our revenues are not destroyed so we have to live in a special drug check so we'll keep punishing you for saving. in the townships to higher water bills are often due to leaks in the aging pipe systems. this is a water management device that has been leaking this people's water has been

leaking for months now and the set down didn't even come out to fix that so this is all water that's been that i mean away as you can see that's from that i mean away . so does what the management devices waste more water than what it seems will and if there's so what major crisis of water then why don't the city have kept on time out to fix this. because residents like my feeder can't pay their bills the city reprogrammed the water meters to cap supply of 350 liters per day but this does not take into account the fact that sometimes there are more than 10 people living in a single household. the other day my son asked me why you see in the world. could you explain to me why it was my birthday and i have to ask my neighbor to look at me some sort of like in the

river. and the city devised a further step to throttle water use asking people to pay for water in advance. the. people is going to die on the site. and one day don't be. mean to me only i don't wear it because i will in the. right. how. when it's your constitutional. right but they didn't save the city from a running out of water. the the people of. change their relationship and you see. that is how we.

put people in cape town say they're tired of struggling and paying for the politicians mistakes. we have but it's all of us. i know it's my dishwasher. and i wear my clothes. so i don't change my clothes as often i must be honest you know i'm i'm tired of the city and pushing the men for almost 50 to life and this being the new normal i don't want to live the way i am now caring that. the owner of the salon ceases livelihood and that of his 50 employees under. my business is everything to me i don't have a fallback scenario i didn't have. a plan b. running out of water would theoretically mean that we would have to shut shop so

it's not a question to get at this and we have a wonderful city we have down to. 60 leaders per person per day and we can be proud of that without realizing what that's done to business i can tell you of companies right now betto busy relocating ny saying listen if this is the future of the city we can business to. it's been 25 years since the election of nelson mandela and his african national congress the a.n.c. party and apartheid a new era began in south africa with a new constitution that guarantees citizens the right to sufficient water and places the responsibility for realizing that right in the hands of the state. some people believe that has contributed to cape town's water crisis. politics may have

played a role but i think the real problem was that national treasury said to the department of water thing is you're not getting any more money. and they didn't have the money because there's a whole lot of us have been squandered. the entire world has supported black economic empowerment in south africa and yes it is necessary to find a rich to chew shouldn't for the sins of the past but what people also have to recognize is that like a demonic empowerment has just become a fig leaf to cover corruption it sounds moral it sounds good people don't want to be against it but it really is just a number 11 hind which a lot of corruption is he really cape town and the western cape province are controlled by the democratic alliance or da party while the national government is in the hands of the a.n.c. . for years the da and the women who occupied top posts in cape town were an irritant to president jacob zuma who stepped down in the face of corruption allegations in 2018. the information that i have is that in

2213 there was a meeting held and that meeting was held in the bottom mineral resources and i have a source in that meeting that they gave me the engine of this meeting and in that meeting the discussion watch. how do we deal with helen zille or how do we deal with with with additional because patricia below was blowing the whistle on the arms deal and helen zille or had just been been appointed the premier and she was making a huge noise about this about but i guess so that bit of time in the bottom and rolls of a decision was made to simply witness water and they decided at that point in time that they're going to turn water into a tour in into a weapon to teach their teacher did the da listen to particularly those 2 to one. political games at the cost of ordinary citizens after zoomers resignation the cabinet was reshuffled. the new minister of water and sanitation

facing the media. what do you tell people who blame the national government for the crisis in cape town. no douglas formalistic you know if there's a formalistic approach that sort of speaks to what i'm just it is situational you know when you emphasize a no no one is a bit over this that one is most of the other in this that's where your problem lies is no no no that's exactly what we must we must keep this side of the mentality in terms of the we would one government with true serious as one government 2 or 3 years. whether the new national government will solve cape town's problems has yet to be seen the city has had to take on the task of finding new sources of water something which ought to be financed by the national government.

so the 3 temperately sanitation pond so basically complete we've got to be providing water into the system or working on a way to reuse the city and that will. see a yield being put into the system towards the end of this financial the new financial year and the drilling into aquifers are continuing and already generating some water. these new investments in water management have to be paid for under zuma corrupt officials plundered state coffers now keep tony and have to foot the bill but they feel they aren't being given a say in policy making. a government i think at the local level in the prevention it will declare this is a crisis in strongly pushed for. this to become a disaster. under the conditions of

a disaster the known pro se says of checks and balances adding moved citizens but as a patient in these decision making is removed so that now where you would have been an application for desalination plants for example would go through certain checks and balances we citizens are you part of the decision making process and comment and and have it they say around this because of the drought because it indicated disaster those rights at taking away. the 3 small desalination plants were set up hastily for a lot of money critics say the use of huge amounts of energy but only provide 2 percent of daily water demand. climate changes altering global rainfall patterns higher latitudes in the tropics are expected to get wet or moderate latitudes and already eric regions will get

drier cape town's municipal officials have recognised that surface water will no longer be sufficient for the growing city. now they're asking scientists whose warnings went unheeded for years to come up with quick solutions. and been a very short notice we got a message that the mayor is coming to visit snake around him so i said she would really like to see drilling in frequently she would like to see water coming out of the ground at that stage we had no contact with religious in place but we had learned that when a buyer wants to take a picture of something you'll like it happen so we have to ask a grilling company to take a little bit of risk to take a grilling regatta because they work through that they go for all and by that of the may arrive we took a picture and there was water coming out of. the

messy phone as the table mountain group has a number of manmade reservoirs but these dams are just a drop in the bucket. hundreds of meters down below the masses of gray sandstone are billions of cubic meters of crystal clear water and natural groundwater aquifers these fossil water sources are being explored as a possible solution to keep towns drinking water problems. to borehole here is already 850 meters deep and there's still no trace of groundwater . but ya know that's a navy earth can you know. like i said earlier if you don't get water in a ball your head's on the talking a lot so i will say. this is like i said exploration so you learn and you told me through it and the only you only going to find out what's on the ground when you

drill. the problem is that the deep ground water is not replenished rapidly if too much is taken out the depleted water table will sink with potentially serious consequences for plant and animal life. any activity like this isn't in fact i think we have to be honest about that but it's grab water. if you are developing a water resource there's going to be an impact but quite clearly we don't have a choice in terms of building resilience all the things of. ground water is an important source but i have an autograph is a crude drop in terms of its size. cape town is not alone with these problems half of the earth's population is already grappling with water shortages cities from sao paulo to los angeles make headlines when they nearly run

out of water and the scarcity can't necessarily be attributed to climate change wasteful water use is another factor. while the scientists hunt for solutions affluent keep tony and her providing for themselves to keep water in their swimming pool but avoid being identified as wasters online and the tribe it's paid for the installation of their own borehole. this is basically. goes on to 127 meters and so far we getting good water formats we've had water tested in a local lad we've just actually received the results now we've got a full transition specialist having a look giving us advice on watchful transient system to install which will then get linked up to the house so the goal is ultimately to be completely off the grid with

regards to you to water so currently we're using it to top up. in summer. and. once a week once every 2 weeks we give the water. you've gotten some water. there around 40000 private boreholes and cape town not even the experts can say what long term effects they will have on the environment. i cannot wait for them civility. they are not able to service you taking on the role of the most volatile the. money making the water. so we are bottom of the solution we are not part of the problem those who can afford it can drill they don't even need a license a private borehole costs around $10000.00 euros capital always roof and the rich people. will only be inconvenienced for

a very short period of time and then they will go there to central paying all or somewhere else ok now that you've got to some place that i think a critical listen for me was how the city is message in and communication in words and unfolded over the time and some of it created mistrust and misgivings and cause citizens to almost recoil in building their own independence of water systems we need to treat our water as a community common service and good and therefore we're all in this together and rates and taxes for instance and revenue collection crucial to making that system function. the more wealthy residents leave the municipal system the less money flows into city coffers and the more pressure there is on the socially disadvantaged.

when you get a cute water scarcity it makes a fuss and professionally underneath so that's what you see in south africa so the acute despite the disparity in income jim that's being that before south africa is a highly an equal society from the wealthiest people living in down the highest in really straight in the world. adjacent some of the poorest of the poor eking out an existence that already financially published by publishing terms of hope in terms of prospects for a better life and just lucked into the poverty trap. vale a move to cape town 8 years ago hoping for a better life she ended up in cairo leecher one of south africa's poorest townships the houses here have no toilets or running water dozens of families share a tap at the height of the crisis some of them were turned off to save water. or

run into mines now that there's no one. i thought will try the novel tell your friend all over. in 2 months you can run. the public toilets and khayelitsha are no longer provided with water for flushing so many residents go to the waste dump to relieve themselves. of one of my own child and. who went to with other kids to the bush. there was someone waiting for that little cal i had the other kids saw that. he was about to rape a child. a

children child to that person and they called people who saw the people. then that person turn away so it's not safe cause that person who's not quite yet c. 32 year old nabila has been looking for a job for years in vain. she 103 sons live with her cousin and her 2 sons in a tiny tin shack for 7 of them share 8 square metres. the children's fathers have abandoned them that's not unusual in this neighborhood. the children are a source of income for families in the townships. and her cousin receive

a total of $100.00 euros a month for the 5 children. in the event of daisy the scenario in which cape town runs out of water the 2 women could only hope that the government would jump in and help more effectively than it seems to be doing now. now we think these are all in the team. and state is seeing how these days it will cause i witnessed this i don't know how we going to live with money. with a 0. sum imagine people dying of thirst 200 comes that's an unlikely scenario but the danger of social unrest or infectious diseases due to water scarcity is more real. since the start of the drought more and more patients have come to this township

hospital with hygiene related conditions not villages youngest son has had skin problems for weeks. the medical examination is free but not vale or can't afford the medication the clinic recommends. and even though the nurse knows about her patient situation her well meaning advice has little to do with the reality of life in the township. in the. film temple i've been with to bathe a child 2 times a day in the morning and in the evening and have him change clothes frequently do you get what i'm saying for example if he baits in the evening and wears clean clothes he shouldn't wear that again tomorrow night so that he does not repeat the

same clone. because when he scratches all that remains in those clothes so he must wear new clean clothes. housing in. england. since the threat of daisy roll emerged all of south africa has been concerned about cape town but in the current asemi desert just a few 100 kilometers away an equally dramatic scenarios development. hundreds of farm workers in the town of sutherland are fighting for their livelihoods analysts estimate that the drought and the water crisis are costing the farming sector 300000 jobs. and. south africa's biggest aid organisation has stepped in to assist the drought stricken farmers although the government ought to help it's the gift of the givers foundation that is providing relief in the form of groceries and fodder for the

livestock. the farmers in this region provide a 3rd of south africa's meat supply and produce the world famous car a lamb. the problems of a sutherland farmers in danger food security and the whole country. with a difficult thing looking for long term growth of what i had all for new grazing under meantime while the great thing about taking place they don't want to believe that. many of the large scale farms in this area have been family owned for generations but most of them are now facing ruin. gift of the givers. has already provided 6000000 euros worth of aid donations too little to a for a tragedy for the farmers. i think it was going to be the case that the response to all those little fixated on his family is not like industry yes didn't stop you can start and stop but just builds

what in 5 i was but you can't mean 5 i was you know you need to get the right whether you think rational growth is something dependent on nature and then back to that which cannot be dissipated like in the spring. the lack of rainfall isn't the only problem the farmers can't get any more water from their boreholes the ngo also helps to drill new holes for desperate farmers. it's a 1400000 hit days of land where all the border holds as started to dry up now the water table has dropped from 24 mm me this average to around about 80 meters now and so the entire project ees massive in terms of the money needed to actually get down to 80 metres for the 200 borders that we need to do to do

be successful with. they've already trailed 35 holes 26 of them successfully. number 36 also strikes water. if the fall. we see a master program coming really breeds of sheep. over hundreds of years. with a sheep or a zillion they can handle these situations but if we start losing these these breed sheep we are going to be some of the big producing sheep in the wool and some of

the basic meat producing she. led. the was pronounced they were only looking at drinking water and they were only looking at water for human consumption they were not looking at water to sustain the economy and they were not looking at water for food production. in south western cape town farmers are also worried take up water supplies for the moment because they can tap into the cities. but they are far from secure. so what's a crisis for me is not a crisis about water it's a crisis management. is a scare tactic for fall. to hand over our rights to the

city and the problem. with his p.h.a. food and farming campaign maziar sunday is fighting to preserve the philippi horticultural area a swathe of act. a cultural land that has been farmed for centuries beneath the 3000 hector area lies a gigantic awkward for. the small and medium sized farms here produce at least a 3rd of cape town's vegetables. they employ 6000 workers mainly women from the surrounding townships. now the city has announced plans to replace this breadbasket with housing and industrial space. private investors are already in place the area is especially attractive not least thanks to its water. but the farmers say they won't give up without a fight. the co-operative is suing the city over the development plans some see the

conflict as an example of the broader question of how cape town intends to use its resources in the future. she is saying we want a judge. to say to us. what is more important. actually just ensued. and it can environment for the city of people the city of cape town or. the privatisation of that is attraction of that to the benefit of a few develop us. the answer might seem obvious but a quarter of a century after its revolution south africa is still a deeply divided society with many different interests. do you still poverty by giving poor people free water. or do you solve poverty by giving poor people jobs. that's a philosophical question i asked for from

a sulphide human side effect that if you give water free water to poor people you create the payments you dislike and that of course what the african national congress has done. more than half the world's population now lives in cities many of the existential risks connected with climate change are concentrated in urban centers and threaten the social fabric. one such risk is growing water scarcity. from a fall out for me it feels that water is going to be. dying then that's what. it's going to be that. we don't have to be in this place today and i if there is dead listen to people like us then you've been one who had. you know. we don't have is what the crisis will be a doubt but we wouldn't have this crisis. to cope with global

warming and growing populations cities have to prepare for the unexpected cape town has realized that not only new and different water sources will help protect it from drought long term whether it's desalination. waste water recycling. or drilling into aquifers there will be damage to the environment the impact of climate change is multi-faceted. however the case of cape town and its day 0 scenario also shows that water scarcity is not just due to missing rainfall and that governments would do well to listen to scientists about where water supplies can come from instead of playing political games. politics must stay out of. you if you don't want us don't have water he doesn't ask you to which political party you belong to so we must keep politics out of what we can't make war to

a political football the reality is that water is an infinitely renewable resource and there planetary level the crisis that planetary level with the world population is outstripping it's of it's supply of fresh water and this really has a as a species solve that problem then the future of this homo sapiens as a species is not for any good either then it's also embodied in the day 0 narrative . in a globalized world in the throes of climate change water is an increasingly precious resource and that affects all of us a warning from south africa. bob
