City without Water
The United Nations reports that more than 4 billion people in the world suffer from serious water shortage. This crisis is greater than social epidemic (such as unemployment and crime). If our water supply is completely exhausted, we will lose our ability to support ourselves in all aspects. The most cruel example can be found in Cape Town. The South African capital is now regarding the award as the first big city. Cities without water went to the area to study the difficulties of urban officials in dealing with crisis and how citizens fought for their lives in endless droughts.
Cape Town’s situation is bad. The level of precipitation is much lower than the average level, and the city’s crisis managers have given strict restrictions. Residents are exiled in only 50 liters of water every day, or a little more than European citizens, and rinse the toilet within 24 hours. The rich enjoys buying water in the bottle to supplement these limited luxury.
The impact of crisis is far beyond. A reduction of water means a decrease in urban revenue. As a result, consumer water invoices increased. This has made it difficult for poor families to carry out rounds. It is also worried that tourism funds will be reduced, and the following unemployment rate will disappear. The region is sufficiently sufficient to clean water and provide a wide range of agricultural decline, which is worried about the attention of sanitary facilities and hygiene -related epidemic and environmental damage.
Throughout the film, film producers focus on the daily life of central citizens who definitely want to hear the sound. Many urban officials, political scientists and others say they need to modify infrastructure to crack down on crisis. Climate change is the huge culprit of this crisis, but this is not the only culprit. Over the years, the government and the international community’s governments have largely ignored warning signals.
Cities without water are the horror portraits of dry landscapes. The change of rally screaming and awakening of other countries after the change, these countries soon on the edge of similar fate.
