Water Use in Cape Town, South Africa 'Not Sustainable'

A water "festival of ideas" has been planned by Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille where suppliers of large, utility-scale water supply and water saving equipment will meet with officials. This comes after the City of Cape Town announced that the city's feeder dams only have enough water to last 88 more days.

Water levels in the City of Cape Town are very low, despite this citizens are not saving enough water.
