Our Director was interviewed by the BBC World Service The Food Chain on the 16th October where she has spoken on the challenges faced by Capetonians during "Day Zero". 

With daily water use reduced to 50 liters per person per day, residents had to adapt to new routines and mindful water practices such as alternative uses like greywater recycling and shorter showers. Kirsty emphasised the importance of not only thinking of the present but being mindful in planning for future climate uncertainties and long-term water needs.
