LESS WATER TO WATERLESS! In Cape Town, South Africa the time for change has already come and gone! Every wash basin has a soft coke bottle with a straw that requires a gentle squeeze to release water to wash hands without wasting a drop. Do not expect a toilet clean bowl in anyone's house or a public facility! Gross definately not, as it has become a requirement. Things turn ugly at the few natural springs where people fight to get water, some turn it into a lucrative business. People have to give up modern appliances like dish washer and it is a crime to water lawns! A resident says "I boil the air conditioner run off water and use it for cooking and drinking". When I see the wastage of water all around me in Goa and no one giving a dam if monsoons fail to come in time or is erratic, and a lethargic government with wrong priorities, I wonder what it will take to prevent a Cape Town situation in the not too distant future!
