They can’t feed or provide water for themselves but they sure can keep fucking.
I guess the drought has been going on for three to four years. It seems like people all over the world, should start taking their water supply way more serious.
I know some here will try and make it a race issue, we already can see that. That's kind of shitty that people will look for any reason to do so. It looks like many people may need to relocate if this is going to be a long term problem as projected. If they fear they will see more droughts than wet years.
what about not creating city in a desert?
That totally sucks, because water recycling is a much more viable, efficient, and cheaper than desalination.
The Craigie treatment plant in Perth is modeled after the system we have in Orange County, so I'm hoping that one will be more successful.
I'm guessing all the facilities that "had issues" with odors/tastes/visuals probably only went as far as Step 2 in the 3-Step filtration process as shown in this vid:
The S.A government might want to look at the water-recycling route in the future. For the same cost to build those three desalination plants that could produce 16 million liters of drinking water from the sea, you would be able to build a water recycling plant that could produce 211 million liters straight from your current water supply.
It takes a lot less electricity to filter impurities from fresh water than to turn sea water into fresh water. The math might be a little different in each country, but on average a water-recycling plant is able to produce twice as much water at one-third the operation cost of a desalination plant.
Never a better time than now for everyone to fuck like rabbits and breed, non stop, multiplying the water powered carbon factories as quickly as possible. That should take care of that pesky climate problem.
It's also not the only place on earth contributing to climate change. Even so, those 2.29 kids being born every year are being brought into a world without water, so they should probably stop fuckin. IMO.south arfrica doesnt have a huge birthrate, 2.29 kids per woman

Hard to recycle water when there is no water in the first place, which seems what its happening in Cape Town.
Sad state of affairs.
Its time for Desalination to be rolled out and used.
They're still using 600 million liters a day even in this multi-year drought.
The government has been trying to bring that under 500 million to prolong the supply a bit longer in hope for rain, but so far not so good.
That's a lot of water to recycle, but currently going to waste.
It's time for Reading to be rolled out and used.
If its yellow, let it mellow
Havent read much about the technology, how good is it at removing dangerous chemicals like heavy metals?

The £1m project led by G2O Water Technologies to develop new, graphene-based water filters has teamed up with the interdisciplinary team at water@leeds, part of the University of Leeds. G2O Water Technologies, a Manchester-based company has now taken its innovative, patented graphene oxide technology for comprehensive testing and evaluation by the Leeds tream. This collaboration adds further weight to the company’s two Innovate UK-supported projects focused initially on oil/water separation and domestic water filters, totalling almost £2m in research and development expenditure. The ultimate aim is to develop the capability to treat water at a much lower cost and make it more affordable worldwide. G2O will be working with the Public Health Laboratories within the School of Civil Engineering at the university to address real issues relating to water treatment in the water industry, including sieving of molecules or ions, removal of salts, oil, nuclear waste, dyes and other chemicals. A pilot water treatment plant designed to test and develop the graphene water filters is scheduled for operation next year. If successful the filters could mean that all water on the planet could effectively be made drinkable. Tim Harper, chief executive and founder of G2O Water Technologies, said: “We believe we are currently the only company transferring its graphene water filter technology from an R&D laboratory to an industrial setting to prove how it could help solve real-world water problems. “This will involve working directly with water industry experts to understand their challenges in detail and evaluate how our graphene oxide membranes would complement their operations and help deliver what consumers need from their water supply. “Our work with water@leeds, along with having highly-experienced water industry professionals on our advisory board, means we are using the latest science and knowledge to address the right applications for the industry; helping treat water at a much lower cost and making it more affordable worldwide.” Professor Martin Tillotson from the University of Leeds said: “water@leeds is one of the world’s leading interdisciplinary centres looking at various aspects of water treatment and we are happy to share our expertise with G2O. The university is committed to making a real and telling difference to the world around us by supporting industry in developing innovative products, tackling the challenges which society faces.” Professor Tillotson said the joint project would involve developing commercially-viable water filtration membranes derived from G2O’s graphene technology that can be scaled-up for industrial application. The company is also exploring a number of partnerships with major consumer product manufacturers and energy companies in order to accelerate the process of bringing a graphene water filter product to market. G2O’s patented technology works by creating low-cost printed graphene filters or by applying a graphene coating to existing membranes used in water filtration processes. This technique reduces the amount of energy needed to filter the water passing through the membrane by up to 50 per cent, increasing throughput of purified water while combating contamination and lowering the cost.

No way, bro. Climate change is a hoax.
Although not the best for the environment, is it time to build desalination plants?

they have a negative immigration rate. care to try again?immigration into SA is probably most responsible for their strained infeastructure.
