In mid-January, Cape Town officials announced that the world-class South African city of four million residents would run out of water on April 12. The date, nicknamed “Day Zero,” has since been postponed multiple times, thanks to the intense conservation efforts by locals, a sharp reduction in agricultural water usage, and a 10 billion-liter donation from the private reservoirs of the Groenland Farmers Association. The city now has enough water to sustain the current level of usage until July 9, giving residents hope that the rainy season, which begins in June, will be more regular than has been the case lately.

- 307년 이상We take a lot of things for granted. We don't need to do any work for water, it is just something that is always here for us. But in other places, they have to walk miles to get water, and they are able to get very little water. In places like Cape May, the are running out of water, and they are limited to how much water they can use every day. But for most other people, we have a bottle of water right next to us. And we have gallons of water easily accessible. And for the places that have water shortages, they have to use every single drop of water carefully, and they can not waste any water. But most people waste a lot of water, that could be used by someone who would use it for something important.
- ellaguardette7년 이상sign This is so sad What if it happened to NYC or Chicago or...every city? I enjoy warm and long showers, so this would be torture until I was used to it. If it happened to Chicago, the lake would be nothing, and it would affect many Could someone donate them a lot of H2O?
