RE: Poisoning the well - The toxic ideology behind Cape Town’s water crisis - Part 1
Good summary of the situation. I was unaware that the warnings stretched back to 1990, but I can believe that.
Several NGOs have warned about the coming drought as recently as 2014 and as far back as 2007.
Many people still believe that water supply is the domain of national government. It is not. Water boards must get their agendas checked by national government, and get funding from national government, but they are free to procure funding by other means and ultimately, water supply is the responsibility of municipalities.
