Another South African town runs out of water as two of its dams dry out. Urgent attention is needed to prevent this from happening to more Towns and cities across the country. Our nations water habits will have to change to prevent total water scarcity.

To prevent your municipality’s fresh water supply from drying out we need to rethink how we use fresh water.
- Do we still have the luxury of using fresh water freely,only getting a single use from every litre?
- Is it becoming necessary for us to reuse or recycle our water where we can?
- Can we get multiple uses from every litre of water that comes through our taps?
- How can our wash water (grey water) be reused?
- Can we collect our personal supply of rain water that will be fit for drinking?
Is there a source for that data?
