and just think of all the protein
That's exactly what I'm thinking about, lol!
Neglected to mention that one of the reasons Day Zero (loathe the term, btw) has been pushed out is because municipal supply to agriculture has been curtailed (the other is that our aquifers are being tapped). Some of our farmers in the drier regions have relied on municipal water for irrigation and can no longer do that. Others, situated in and around viable catchment areas, built private dams (all approved by the Dept of Water and Sanitation) and are now augmenting supply to the city because they have enough to spare – for a while; there’s a limit. Many people are out of work and some farmers are finished – terrible for everyone who depended on this work for their livelihood. A whole tomato canning factory just didn’t open this year and some wine farmers have lost entire vineyards. The pain will be felt by us all further down the line.
