💨 Abstract

Knysna, in South Africa's Western Cape, faces a severe water crisis with only 13 days of water left in its main dam at current consumption rates. Officials have issued warnings to top water users, urging immediate reductions. The Joint Operations Committee has intensified Level 4 water restrictions and is exploring alternative water sources. Community cooperation is crucial as the situation is deemed unsustainable without significant demand reduction.
