DAY ZERO has been moved to mid-May due to the decrease of water usage in the agricultural sector.
Let's hope it continues that way, though one wonders about the supply and cost of fresh veggies. Let's also hope we have an early winter rainfall!

@Huffapuff it took an analyst to tell you what I told you ,can I have your vote now please.and thank you for the post its nice to know someone else thinks like me
@Scissorhands I saw the dams at low and saw them flushing it.now this year it has raised to a full level I went to Steenbrass dam and was refused entry.I took pics but can't post it.it rains behind the mountain over sir Lowery's pass I'm not shire how much but it does.
yes we must look after our resources but that analyst dude hit the nail on it's head.buying all this equipment might make the economy flow but it flows in one direction.
then the foreigners come work here and send the money they make home.one day our currency will be shitworth like Rhodesia and it might happen sooner then we all think.so we must stop nagging here and stand up for ourselves and vape to parliament... and inside

"Grabouw and Elgin farmers have released 10-million cubic meters of water (10-billion litres) from Eikenhof Dam to to assist Cape Town with drought relief. The City’s current consumption rate is about 550-million a day, and the donation is expected to last between 18-20 days."

thanks hooked.looks like we getting somewhere with the crisis.now people must just respect what we got and what we received and manage it properly.I also think we need to get a few opinions on how to manage future waterholes and how to add more without having to jump in and spend before we have all our options revised.
And peeps must NOT get over their mad panic and start wasting water again!
I've just received a whatsapp about a relative (not close) who's just had a lung op and they removed 3 lt. of water from her lungs - and my first thought was that I hope they don't throw it out. How awful is that????? It just shows how sensitive we are now to water issues.
@Hooked , sorry about the relative and the op.
Having grown up on a farm water has always been a precious resource not to be wasted, and we were taught that from a young age. It pains me to see what is happening not only in Cape Town but other areas as well, your awareness programs are just better of spreading the bad news. Our houses consumption is the lowest in the area, but still a lot higher than what you are faced with, but when I drive around and see the wastage I want to cry. People have gotten so used to opening a tap and that water comes out, that they become ignorant of the crisis facing SA as a whole, and they waste it as if it is a never ending resource that they are entitled to. I don't water gardens or grass either.

I was going to crack a joke to keep your spirits up but let's leave it at that.keep the faith be strong for her
@Hooked , Interesting bit of news, 2 people were arrested this week here in my town for stealing municipal water, they were the 3rd truck of the day, +- 35,000 liters, and the excuse was that they were taking it to Cape Town. Yet they could not say where.
Not a nice way of trying to justify your illegal activities. Is it is true regarding the end point I think they would have gotten off, but they couldn't even explain what the route is that they were supposedly going to take to get there.

@Room Fogger that was probably going to end up in spring water bottles
Thank you Jo'burg! You're the best!!

"Johannesburg has delivered 69 000 litres of water to animal shelters across Cape Town.
A video created by Abigail Javier and Anthony Molyneaux showed concerned Joburg citizens contributing to a water drive for animal shelters. The drive resulted in 69 000 litres of water being collected for the cause.
The video highlighted the issue of what happens to stray animals with level 6B water restrictions in effect, and asks the question: “What will happen to rescue dogs in Cape Town shelters if Day Zero strikes?”
“There are 2000 rescued dogs being cared for at Cape Town shelters. Each dog requires two litres of drinking water per day,” the video says.
“We think it’s a very good initiative. The people and the animals in Cape Town are struggling, so we want to do as much as we can to help,” students from Brakenhurst Primary said.
Emily Thomas from the Gift of the Givers Foundation explained that Fallen Angels – an animal shelter – will be the base of operations.
“This water will go to Fallen Angels which is an animal shelter, and that will be our base. From there, the water will be distributed to different animal shelters across Cape Town,” she said.
Fallen Angels’ Gail Basson says that the animals are dependant on the humans. “The worrying thing is that you and I can go to the shops and buy a water or a coke, whereas the dogs can’t. Animals depend on us. That’s why all animal shelters are panicking.”
... The donated water will be distributed to various animal shelters across the Cape."

That's really awesome news. Super stoked that the water was sent to fallen angels rather than the SPCA. The folks over at FA are great people.
Go take a look at the comments on that article and bask in the filth that is our society.
