What do you know that most people don’t?

 This is Cape Town!

Have a look at this picturesque beauty.. You'll be mesmerised!

But now, the condition of this scenic city is abominable. Have a look!!

Why?

Cape Town is less than three months away from the situation becoming so dire that it must shut off its taps, an eventuality known as "Day Zero."

A city that's home to 4 million people is about to run dry

According to officials the forecasted date is 12 April. This makes Cape town the first major city to run dry.

I'll make you understand this grim situation.

• People there are told to use just 50 litres of water each day per person whereas average eight-minute shower uses more than 60 litres of water and an average bath requires some 80 litres.
• Collection points will be guarded by security forces for a daily ration of 6.6 gallons.
• Pit latrines and alternate dry sanitation is the only viable option.
• Not even one of the 7 water projects are complete which means no panacea for this crisis in near years.

It's 2018 and I feel like, the end is near!

EDIT: According to this report from BBC, Cape Town ain't the only city to run out of water. There are 11 of them!

The 11 cities most likely to run out of drinking water

What do you know that most people don’t?

 These are some of the facts which most people don't know:-

1.The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate melted in his pocket.

2.Traffic lights with red and green gas lights were first introduced in London in 1868 where they unfortunately exploded and killed a policeman.

3.Mount Rushmore was carved 90% by dynamite.The dynamite was used to remove 450000 tons of fine grain granite from the mountain body.

4.A person can live without food for about a month, but only about a week without water.If the amount of water in our body is reduced by just 1% ,we feel thirsty.If it's reduced by 10% we'll die.

“So never neglect a glass of water.”

5.Yo-yo now a fun toy, started out as a weapon in the Philippine islands in the 16th century.

It weighed four pounds and had a 20 foot cord.

It was introduced to the United States as a toy in 1929.

6.Xerox the company which invented the first modern pc named “Alto” with GUI did another major mistake by allowing Robert Metcalfe to start his own company called Ethernet in 1973 which developed a network system that could transmit or recieve data at 3 million bits a second.

Xerox didn't see this as related to its core business of copiers and ignored it.

Now Ethernet is a major frame-based computer networking technology for LANs.

7.A sample of Sir Issac Newton's apple tree was sent into space to “Defy Gravity”.
