"If water levels keep falling, Cape Town will declare Day Zero in less
than three months. Taps in homes and businesses will be turned off until
the rains come. The city’s four million residents will have to line up
for water rations at 200 collection points. The city is bracing for the
impact on public health and social order."

Other cities will face similar problems in the years to come.
