Cape Town water warning raises fresh Day Zero concerns

# Cape Town is facing renewed concerns over its water supply, bringing back memories of the 2018 Day Zero crisis. The City of Cape Town says in its latest Water Outlook Report the warning is an early call for residents to use water responsibly, as it monitors declining rainfall, dam levels, and water demand. Officials stress that the city is not currently in a drought, but they are urging residents to conserve water and act early to prevent pressure on supplies, as climate uncertainty remained a signficant risk to water security.
