Desalination Debacle in Cape Town: Day Zero Fast Approaching (Video Report)

As the Western Cape’s dam levels swell after a good rainy season, the horror of Day Zero that confronted Capetonians with the threat of running out of drinking water has long faded. But, under pressure a few years ago to provide secure water supplies during the drought, the City of Cape Town concluded deals with a couple of companies for desalinated water. One of these companies is now taking the city to court, claiming critical information on the quality of water they had to purify had been omitted from tender specifications. Carte Blanche investigates the contradictory evidence on the quality of the sea around Cape Town.

  1. Of course nature can provide all. Rain water/ droughts are not without someone creating them. Regardless of ALL government interference with nature the earth's own renewing forces will take over.   For anyone wanting to end  this suffering 1. grind up and bury all trash/waste. 2.  Use it to make compost to restore soil fertility and ignite an agricultural industry long gone. 3. Catch and use rain water. This does include long term storage. Not by any government but by each household/family or even an office building.  The world's scientists know and see the actions committed against nature and the African people.  "how to details available upon request".
