The World's First Major City To Run Out Of Water
from Real Stories · host Real Stories
'50 Litres Life' explores the devastating impact of the severe drought in Cape Town, South Africa, which pushed the city to the brink of "Day Zero"—the day taps would be shut off. For two years, citizens endured extreme restrictions, limited to just 50 liters per person per day (four times less than average). This documentary goes inside the crisis, exposing the logistical nightmare for the poor, the $5.9 billion losses in agriculture, and the global climate factors that caused the drought. Learn how a city on the brink averted catastrophe, and why this is a warning for the rest of the world.Instagram - @realstoriesdocsAny queries, please contact us at: [email protected]#RealStories #WaterCrisis #ClimateChange Learn more about your ad choices.
