Water scarcity is a problem that has been affecting South Africa for many years now. The country has the world’s largest population living in areas of high water stress, with over 40% of the population living in areas where there is less than 500m3 of water per person per year. We can save water by reducing our consumption and conserving it more efficiently. We should use less water when brushing our teeth and we should also use less when cooking, as well as taking shorter showers.
How can we save water in Cape Town?
In Cape Town, the water crisis is so severe that many people have to queue for hours just to get a few litres of water. This has led to a lot of public outcry and anger. The current solution is to recycle water, but it will take years before this will be enough. The best solution is to reduce the amount of water we use in our homes and businesses by using fewer taps, installing shower heads that are more efficient, not watering the garden with a hose or sprinkler system, and installing rainwater tanks.
