So he asked a guy who has been solving this problem since before the drought of 2017. His name is Edward Jonathan and he works at Plumblink at N1 City Mall. The solution it turns out is a little piece of plastic the size of the 20 cent coin. ]]></description>

But I wanted to know about the regulations around bore holes, and how safe the natural springs are in the city. As an added extra, Councillor Badroodien gave an overview of the city's water resilience strategy called the New Water Programme. ]]></description>

We'll look at conserving energy and controlling the climate in our homes, and we'll even throw the spotlight into our closets to see how to look fashionable AND not have a negative impact on the environment. But before we start down the runway, we're going to look at something much more important to life. About two weeks ago the City of Cape Town started requesting residents to reduce their consumption of water. Otto van der Walt spoke to the Mayoral Committee Member for Water and Sanitation, Zahied Bedroodien, to hear what the status is at the moment, and to find out what the city is recommending to residents. ]]></description>

The first is a national database system of research data that is updated by the public, and that has been so successful that it is being replicated all over Africa, and the second is an outreach project that teaches scholars and teachers how to collect and record data so that the health of rivers and wetlands in the city can be monitored.

But what would it cost us, in monetary terms, in rands and cents, to replace those functions with made-made solutions? In other words, if we didn't look after our rivers and wetlands, what would it cost us to install mechanical and electronic solutions to give us those important services? This week Kate Snaddon from the Freshwater Research Centre discusses this interesting concept with Otto van der Walt. ]]></description>
