A story on Daily Mail about Water.
Q said watch the water( could have multiple meanings?)
WATER WARS: Cape Town faces 'Day Zero' when the taps will be turned off as South Africa is hit by severe drought
Cape Town is suffering from an unprecedented water crisis after severe drought
Rigid water restrictions on businesses and farms have helped prevent disaster
But the moment called ‘Day Zero’ is approaching - when the taps are turned off
If the winter doesn't replenish resources Day Zero could be just 100 nights away
On one level, this crisis symbolises the corruption and incompetence that festered under Jacob Zuma, who finally resigned as South Africa’s president last week after nine years of sleazy misrule that so tarnished the legacy of Nelson Mandela’s African National Congress (ANC). Yet Cape Town also sends a warning to the world: that water is a limited resource, that climate change can have a cataclysmic impact and that even wealthy areas are not immune to its devastating effects.
This is not the first city to experience water shock, but it is the most serious. Sao Paolo in Brazil saw supplies run so low three years ago the pipes sucked up mud and the flow of water to homes was cut to twice a week. Competition for water has been cited as a factor behind Middle East conflict, while some fear the situation will only worsen as urban populations swell in global hotspots, placing unsustainable pressure on dwindling supplies.
Military strategists even talk of water, not oil, as the potential trigger for 21st Century conflicts, while the United Nations has warned water scarcity could displace 700 million people by 2030.
Even away from war zones, there are many places with fast-growing populations, inadequate infrastructure and rising demand for water as affluence increases. Melbourne in Australia says its water could run out in a decade – and even London has warned that demand is close to capacity and the city faces future supply problems.
