  Learn to live with water scarcity Regions around the world are experiencing drought and water scarcity, even in places that once had abundant rainfall, and this situation will worsen as the planet warms. In 2018, nearly all water taps ran dry in the South African port city of Cape Town. Then it became the second largest city in the world suffering from severe water shortage.
