50 Liters Life

Cape Town and Western Cape region have been affecting by instability condition for many years because of the worst drought ever seen before. Since 2015 irregular rainfalls have dried up dams’ level, constraining the local Government to ask citizens to reduce drastically water consumption. Each citizen should not use more than 50 liters of water per person per day so that this situation has caused a huge disruption both in the city and in neighbouring areas.
Whilst strategies carried out by the most ingenious citizens in order to save water have led to good results, however the dramatic situation of agriculture and livestock and the condition of the poorest fringe of the population are still unknown.
Is it possible to live a 50 liters life? Currently, western countries use up to 300 liters of water per person per day. Although the effects of climate change are evident, the unrestrained consumption is a factor which is no more possible underestimate.
