💨 Abstract

Cape Town is currently in an "Early Drought Caution" phase, with dam levels at 55%, 19% lower than last year. The next three months are crucial for the city's water security. Daily water consumption has spiked to 1,073 million litres, prompting officials to urge residents to reduce usage. The city is investing in long-term water security measures, including pipe replacements, leak detection, and diversifying water supply sources.
