Cape Town Water Crisis: How To Live With 13 Gallons Of Water A Day | TIME

[@markusgattol]

"Shower with a friend... that also saves water." Brilliant statement! :)

[@benjespina]

Was at Cape Town last month. The advisory is everywhere - good on the government for getting the word out real well. Reminders were in every hotel lobby, mall restroom and restaurant sink. My airbnb building was enforcing steep fines for the month's heavy users as well.

[@vatsalyasharan4202]

In 10-15 years this will be the situation around the world

[@TwelveDeck]

How about providing your own source.

[@michaelk2130]

Aaaand then.... you wake up !

[@vatsalyasharan4202]

Praque, this will happen regardless of Global Warming, Bcz the Humans are too much and "Fresh water" is too little. Also where are you getting your news sources from? Flat earth society?

[@monkeydo992]

0:35 man look at how many pools they have

[@roachtoasties]

Can one take buckets of ocean water and use it to flush, or is it too corrosive for Cape Town pipes? On Catalina Island, there's separate plumbing just for that.

[@FreakingSweeeet]

At least they have clean water, in Flint Michigan water is poison.

[@BeyondCom77]

I can relate to this as my well failed a month ago and had to do this regimen until it warmed up enough to dig a new one. Every day I thought of all the people in Puerto Rico that still don't have water or power. Motivated me to send another contribution. Seriously, our government needs to help the Puerto Rican people.

[@alwaysoutlawed4462]

As someone whose household has decreased our water usage with over 66% Its possible. And we should probably do it even if there is water.

[@AAA-vk4wh]

This is going to be California soon lol

[@mattatk92]

I'm glad I live in florida

[@thekidfromfresno]

Ben Solo Dont worry in 15 years we wont have water either

[@springbok4015]

Ben Solo I’d rather live in Cape Town. Florida seems to house too many morons

[@davidshort2806]

This looks like the apocalypse

[@venturadaryl22]

Years from now water will be a problem anywhere in the world so people must realize the importance of using water and stop wasting it. They will use it wisely when water is running out in their country. Sad reality.

[@druganov962]

Lol aliens will think they fly above mars when they see that from high up

[@Maddy-ho7ut]

As a 15 yeaold there isnt much i can do, i dont have any money to donate nor the time to go over and volunteer, I aim to have both thoes things one day and be able to go to other countries to help out with these things :(

[@FleurPillager]

TIME, please do a story about Enbridge Line 5.

[@russg1801]

You could go to the beach and get all the water you need to flush the toilet.

[@atomm4675]

Russ G alot of corrosion to the pipes, trust me. Been there done that.

[@AAA-vk4wh]

The salt will affect the pipes

[@BROKEasfFORNOW]

AA A better then no water

[@weedmastersr]

Get plastic pipes.

[@markusgattol]

Living in a modern villa in the 21st century and carrying around buckets like in medieval times... You have plenty of water in the ocean and lots of sun to power desalination plants. Problem solved.

[@samiajre6852]

any conret video experience to verify your cake recipe i said "concret" not theoric

[@taygenlockyer3847]

South Africa is a 3rd world country it's really not that easy

[@nepalihercules]

blacks run the goverbment

[@bassamalfieed976]

they rather back terrorists; israel has offered to help long ago, but they refused.

[@springbok4015]

Mark if only it was that simple...

[@smallyellowgirl4276]

This is the whole world tomorrow.

[@macberry4048]

Where's Bill Gates at

[@gn8635]

you know, native Americans in Canada have to survive with 2 liters of bottled water a WEEK, including other people that live in the house, which can sometimes go up to 20 people.

[@smallyellowgirl4276]

Get rid of your fucking pool and use it as a water supply, make sure it doesn’t have chlorine.

[@xanbrien4691]

this is insanity

[@slonkey3641]

13 Gallons is a lot still

[@Conici_AU]

Not compared to the average use of water in a country like South Africa

[@idkidk8391]

That’s so dirty

[@pigpog1600]

just drink seawater 4HEad

[@brandonbinder5572]

Sounds like a fantastic life. Not.

[@springbok4015]

Brandon Binder it’s actually pretty good in Cape Town. Also, this video is an exaggeration, the taps haven’t run dry, nor is there rationing.

[@maxlusasa3859]

She said shower with a friend wtf

[@valenrn8657]

I'll rather buy "atmospheric water generator".

[@bubblegumneko3432]

Boy you watch thunderf00t?

[@nella-marievantonder5042]

Rnl Valen its for bathing, toilet use, cooking, drinking water aka staying hydrated, laundry, household things. You'd be suprised to see its actually not. One bucket to wash yourself is already 5liter. Flush of a toilet is 3-4liter.

[@valenrn8657]

Household level "atmospheric water generator" purchase is an insurance for government mismanagement. Example for atmospheric water generator EcoloBlue 30E ($799 USD) can do 30.2833 liter per day. My house already has 4 KwHr solar panels. Planning for Tesla home battery in the future i.e no rush...

[@nella-marievantonder5042]

Rnl Valen it hasn't rained here in months. We can't use sustainability we are on ecofriendly everything here we have solar panels already. We are globaly very eco too. Please don't say things you don't have facts on.
