The book presents the history of water supply to Cape Town, leading
up to the worst ever drought recorded, through political turmoil
impacting on drought interventions and resulting in the adoption of
an integrated water strategy. Regions reliant on water supply from
rainfed dams have always been vulnerable to the impact of drought.
This is exacerbated by the uncertainty of future rainfall, which is
never guaranteed, and reliance is placed on modelling using
historic data. While weather has always been variable, climate has
been generally reliable. With anthropogenic activity causing
changes in climate, the validity of modelling based on history is
currently not fully trusted. Unless the storage capacity is
sufficient to carry through numerous seasons of poor rainfall, even
with water restrictions to match demand and supply in times of
depleted rainfall, the risk of reservoirs running dry remains a
threat.
