"Day Zero", the date when Cape Town is predicted to run out of water, is currently 4 June 2018. It was previously 12 April, but reduced water consumption has managed to push it back.

More information about Cape Town's Water Crisis is available online. Organisations like Gift of the Givers, who are helping to organise water donations to the city, are also taking monetary donations via their website.
