Cape Town Water Crisis // HIDDEN VAULTS IN TABLE MOUNTAIN

VLOG 2/3 in collaboration with Times Live!
I went to uncover some little known springwater vaults at the base of Table Mountain and I found some seriously weird stuff. We are sitting on a ton of water!
In partnership with Times LIVE and Good Hope Adventures. Special thanks to City of Cape Town for maintaining this heritage site.
Cape Town water crisis 2017 is far from over however the aquifer under Table Mountain is pumping out quite a bit. See what the City of Cape Town is doing to try utilize it.
South Africa is an amazing place and if you are looking for things to do in Cape Town Western Cape then go to goodhopeadventures.com to find out more.

    I don't know what amazes me more, the fact that this exists, or the fact that I used to live just a stones throw from there (a bit further up in Sidmouth Ave) and never knew about it! Well, I knew that there were loads of rivers, and so on, in the area, but didn't know about these springs. That's very cool, and I can only hope that the City of Cape Town is using them as much as possible to help lessen the ongoing water crisis!!

    Nice but a marginal quantity compared to the need. Cape Town currently, with water restrictions, consumes a minimum of 520,000,000 liters per day. This well produces a bit less than 2,500,000 liters a day. This is less than 0.5% of Cape Town's daily need.
