Guardian/Observer opinion piece on Cape Town water crisis

Together with colleagues Rosie Day (University of Birmingham) and Simon Dadson (University of Oxford) Anne Van Loon wrote an opinion piece on the Cape Town water crisis: “Let Cape Town revolutionise the way we think about water“. In this article they warn for the Hydro-illogical cycle (see National Drought Mitigation Centre illustration below) and suggest focusing on demand management as has proven to be successful elsewhere (see also this Quartz Africa article). Now is the time to act!
