Residents of Cape Town are being urged to continue their efforts in saving water, as the Western Cape faces ongoing water shortages. The latest figures reveal that as of 4 April 2023, the dam levels in Cape Town were at 59%:
The situation has been exacerbated by poor rainfall during the winter seasons of 2015, 2016 and 2017, coupled with a rapidly growing population and economy. Climate change has also added to the pressure on the province’s water supply.
Water usage in the Western Cape is not limited to households and sanitation needs. Agriculture, manufacturing and other industries all require a reliable and sustainable water supply. Water is also lost to evaporation, leaks in supply pipes, and deliberate wastage.
