Cape Town drought limits people to 13 gallons of water a day

Cape Town faces a severe water crisis due to a prolonged drought, with reservoirs at critically low levels. The city has implemented strict water-saving measures to avoid 'Day Zero,' when taps would run dry. Residents have adapted by using alternative water sources and conservation methods. The crisis highlights social inequalities, as poorer communities struggle more with water access. Efforts include desalination and tapping aquifers, but challenges remain as the city awaits sufficient rainfall.
