Detailed explanation-1: -Diversifying the municipal water portfolio with water recycling, desalination, and groundwater can reduce risk of water shortages due to drought. Cape Town has also been investing in desalination plants and in groundwater projects which may help avoid another Day Zero.
Detailed explanation-2: -Water scarcity is becoming an increasing threat because of climate change impacts and increasing water demand. In urban areas, human-centered processes govern the water cycle; urban water users do not consume water but rather pollute it.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cape Town has found a permanent solution to water scarcity: Recycled sewage. Some Capetonians might find this hard to swallow, but within five years the city’s residents and visitors will drink purified sewage water. “It’s very safe, ” says Michael Killick, the director of bulk services for water and sanitation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Four years ago, when Cape Town announced it was nearing its own day zero, the world turned to watch. Headlines blared that this was the first time in modern history that a major world city would be without running water.
