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.

                  Only using 50 litres a day must be horrible, I can't believe what they have to go through.

                    1 lifestyle change that would be easy would be no candy (even tho I love candy) because candy is not good for you and it does not help you live, candy is just a nice treat, and 1 lifestyle change that would be hard would be water and fruit because water and fruit help you live.
