Why Is Cape Town Running Out Of Water? | NowThis World - Duration: 6:40.

A major metropolitan city is running out of water.

Cape Town, South Africa, is home to 4 million people, and those residents get their water

from six major reservoirs.

In 2014, the biggest reservoir - which provides half of the city's water - looked like this.

And this is what it look like now.

The government has put the city on a ticking time bomb, awaiting the day those levels get

too low, and engineers shut off the taps.

They're calling it: Day Zero.

Hey guys I'm Judah, this is NowThis World, and on this episode we're going back in

time to figure out how Cape Town went from experiencing one of its wettest years in decades,

to the precipice of becoming the first major city in the world to have to turn off its

taps.

Let's jump back to 2013.

Cape Town saw almost 27 inches of rainfall - making it the third wettest year since the

mid-seventies.

Dams were actually overflowing.

And climatologists predicted even wetter years to come.

But things dried up pretty quickly.

In 2014, Cape Town saw 7 inches less than the year before.

Then 7 and a half inches less than that in 2015.

By then, they were down to just 12 inches of rain in the whole year, and the city entered

a full-on drought.

And things kept getting worse.

In 2016, the city saw just under 9 inches of rainfall.

And last year?

Just 6 inches.

To put that in context, that's just 2 inches more than the average for parts of the Sahara

desert.

A hydrologist at the University of Cape Town who studies water and climate change impact

analyzed the past 5 years of rainfall compared to rainfall records dating back almost 100

years.

He found that the likelihood that two back-to-back years as dry as 2016 and 2017 would occur

once in 1,150 years.

So, is Cape Town just that unlucky?

Environmental scientists agree that people can expect "more severe and more frequent

droughts" to come - in Cape Town and other global cities.

The three-year drought has been slowly depleting the city's reservoirs.

The largest dam that most residents rely on went from being at full capacity down to just

12% capacity.

But Cape Town had more problems than just the weather.

Those years of severe drought revealed deeper obstacles in the city's infrastructure plans

- ones that exacerbated the drought rather than alleviate its effects.

The first thing that's important to know about Cape Town's water infrastructure,

is that the national government is in charge of maintaining and planning it.

A University of Cape Town water expert told the New York Times that the city focused too

heavily on expensive, long-term projects like desalination plants to help address the water

crisis, rather than quicker, cheaper options like tapping into groundwater resources.

A project that was reportedly started, but put on hold in 2011.

And when, in 2015, the Western Cape provincial government applied to declare the drought

a "national disaster" - a necessary step in order to get funding for local drought

preparation - the national government rejected their application.

A few months later, the national government accepted the disaster application for a few

municipalities.

They were promised almost 3 million U.S. dollars from federal water and development departments.

Meanwhile, Cape Town applied for a city-wide disaster status in early 2017.

Remember - this was the year that saw just 6 inches of rainfall.

The national Department of Water Affairs rejected the application, saying "although the water

situation is concerning, it is not yet at crisis level."

One of the department's higher-ups even reportedly accused Cape Town of just trying

to secure funding for future projects.

Also according to South African journalist William Saunderson-Meyer, there could be political

motivations behind the mismanagement.

The Western Cape (including Cape Town), are governed by a party called the Democratic

Alliance.

But the national government is run by a different party, the African National Congress - which

has been the dominant ruling party in post-apartheid South Africa.

But this doesn't just come down to political motives.

It also has to do with widespread income inequality and the residents who benefit from it.

Cape Town's population grew 80% from 1995 to 2018.

A booming tourist hub, its growing populace has only contributed to South Africa's extreme

wealth disparity.

According to the UN Human Development Index, South Africa has the highest degree of income

inequality of any country in the world.

So while many low-income communities in and around Cape Town have already been suffering

from years of water shortages, unreliable access to clean water, and long communal distribution

lines, the wealthy have been installing private water tanks in their homes - and many have

failed to cut back their usage to meet the city's standards.

Last year, the city asked locals to restrict their water usage to 23 gallons per day, a

target number that 60% of residents didn't meet.

In January, the government decreased that number to just 13 gallons per day - and it's

unclear how many residents are sticking to that

The rich are much more likely to overuse tap water for things like pools & gardens, and

much more likely to be able to pay the city's growing tariffs and fines for doing so.

But about a million people live in Cape Town's more than 400 informal settlements.

Those people make up a quarter of the population, but use just under 5% of the city's water.

And people in those communities are more likely to have leaky, unreliable and difficult-to-access

communal water taps.

Often, 10-20 families share access to porta potties, because of a lack of plumbing.

Some say this Day Zero water crisis is just highlighting the fact that under-resourced

communities in Cape Town have been experiencing water shortages for years, without much government

help or viral hashtags.

So, if you live in or are visiting Cape Town - what can you expect to happen on Day Zero?

To be clear, Day Zero isn't the day Cape Town runs out of water.

But it is the day that most people in the city would turn on their taps, only to find

that nothing comes out.

No drinking, bathing, or even toilet water.

According to the city's disaster plan, 13.5% is the magic number.

When Cape Town's reservoirs get down to holding just 13.5% of capacity, the water

that's left will go to hospitals, nursing homes and communal taps designed where folks

will be required to line up for a daily, pre-approved amount of 6.6 gallons per person.

And it's unclear how long that system would last.

But this should serve as a wake-up call to local and national governments around the

world.

Cape Town isn't the first city to suffer severe water shortages - more than 800 cities

across Brazil entered a state of emergency just last year after millions were forced

to ration water, for many of the same reasons that led Cape Town to this point.

And it won't be the last city, either.

Climate scientists are warning the international community that water crises are inevitable

as the effects of climate change and urbanization build up.

So will local governments look to Cape Town as a cautionary lesson to prepare for the

future - or will other cities soon face their own Day Zeroes?

Let me know what you think below!

10 Signs You are Secretly an Introvert - Duration: 4:32.

10 Signs You are Secretly an Introvert

Think you can spot an introvert in a crowd?

Think again.

Although the stereotypical introvert may be the one at the party who's hanging out alone

by the food table fiddling with an iPhone, the "social butterfly" can just as easily

have an introverted personality.

People are frequently unaware that they're introverts ― especially if they're not

shy ― because they may not realize that being an introvert is about more than just

cultivating time alone.

Instead, it can be more instructive to pay attention to whether they're losing or gaining

energy from being around others, even if the company of friends gives them pleasure.

more and more introverts are speaking out about what it really means to be a "quiet

type."

Not sure if you're an innie or an outie?

See if any of these 23 telltale signs of introversion apply to you.

1.

You find small talk incredibly cumbersome.

Introverts are notoriously small talk-phobic, as they find idle chatter to be a source of

anxiety, or at least annoyance.

For many quiet types, chitchat can feel disingenuous.

2.

You go to parties, but not to meet people.

If you're an introvert, you may sometimes enjoy going to parties, but chances are, you're

not going because you're excited to meet new people.

At a party, most introverts would rather spend time with people they already know and feel

comfortable around.

If you happen to meet a new person that you connect with, great — but meeting people

is rarely the goal.

3.

You often feel alone in a crowd.

Ever feel like an outsider in the middle of social gatherings and group activities, even

with people you know?

If you tend to find yourself feeling alone in a crowd, you might be an introvert

4.

Networking makes you feel like a phony.

Networking or small-talk with the end goal of advancing your career can feel particularly

disingenuous for introverts, who crave authenticity in their interactions.

5.

You've been called "too intense."

Do you have a penchant for philosophical conversations and a love of thought-provoking books and

movies?

If so, you're a textbook introvert.

6.

You're easily distracted.

While extroverts tend to get bored easily when they don't have enough to do, introverts

have the opposite problem — they get easily distracted and overwhelmed in environments

with an excess of stimulation.

7.

Downtime doesn't feel unproductive to you.

One of the most fundamental characteristics of introverts is that they need time alone

to recharge their batteries.

Whereas an extrovert might get bored or antsy spending a day at home alone with tea and

a stack of magazines, this sort of down time feels necessary and satisfying to an introvert.

8.

Giving a talk in front of 500 people is less stressful than having to mingle with those

people afterwards.

Introverts can be excellent leaders and public speakers — and although they're stereotyped

as being the shrinking violet, they don't necessarily shy away from the spotlight.

Instead, an introvert might struggle more with meeting and greeting large groups of

people on an individual basis.

9.

When you get on the subway, you sit at the end of the bench – not in the middle.

Whenever possible, introverts tend to avoid being surrounded by people on all sides.

they will likely choose crowdless places.

10.

You start to shut down after you've been active for too long.

Do you start to get tired and unresponsive after you've been out and about for too

long?

It's likely because you're trying to conserve energy.

Everything introverts do in the outside world causes them to expend energy, after which

they'll need to go back and replenish their stores in a quiet environment.

Short of a quiet place to go, many introverts will resort to zoning out.

All in all, that's the 10 Signs You are Secretly an Introvert.
