Water Crises Around the World
In Cape Town, South Africa the water crisis was so bad that there were almost at Day Zero (day in which they wouldn't have any water). According to National Geographic they were set to reach Day Zero around June of 2018, and soon the authorities implicated regulations that stated they weren’t allowed to flush potable water and each person wasn’t allowed to shower more than twice a week. Although it isn’t the hygienic rule it eventually, along with some aid from the weather, was able to wipe out the drought in Cape Town. Another similar instance was in Sao Paulo, Brazil in which they actually reached their Zero Day because of their immense population of 20 million people. The city combated this by turning off the water supply for 12 hours a day in order to prevent the use of their already scarce supply. This forced businesses and some industries to shut down. Now out of the 20 megacities 14 of them are suffering from drought and water scarcity.
