This week we look at the drought and water crisis hitting South Africa, starting off with one woman’s cabbages.
Find out exactly where your water comes from with Dean Muruven from WWF SA’s #JourneyOfWater and take a look at how Cirrus Water Management is using atmospheric water generation to make water out of thin air.
With the help of the Water Research Commission’s Jay Bhagwan, we find out how more than 30% of drinkable water gets flushed down the toilet, and take a look at one alternative, the Enviro-Loo.
Also on the show, Prof Mary Scholes tells us why the drought is happening and what impact it could have on food security.
