when 30 million m ³ was extracted from this system for use in Cape Town .
Berg River irrigation
Irrigation water supply to access for all farmers along the Berg River has in the meantime been cut off for the season .
The effect of evaporation on these 200 kmlong rivers on water losses is significant , and all the streams feeding into the river is dry .
Day Zero
Cape Town ’ s Day Zero has once again been moved ahead to 11 May 2018 , in part because agricultural water usage has declined . André Roux makes it clear that it doesn ’ t mean that Cape Town ’ s six large dams are empty when Day Zero is reached , but that their combined capacity lies at 13.5 %, At this level water can no longer flow to outlets by itself but will have to be pumped to the outlet works , which , apart from the extra electricity demand , will also mean that less water is available because the flow tempo is lower when pumped than when water flows naturally .
The City is busy preparing around 200 water collection points where inhabitants will have to collect their 25 litre per person daily allowance . This will bring major disruption to the lives of Capetonians who will have to queue for water , while the city is working on a system to prevent people from filling their quota repeatedly during the day at different water points .
André mentioned that it is important to realise that Day Zero can be avoided if Capetonians reduce their water use to 50 litres per person per day of 450 million litres per day combined use and the City of Cape Town ’ s augmentation options of desalination , ground water use and the use of treated effluent is implemented as planned by the end of March or early April .
