A picture taken on May 10, 2017 shows a boat lying on the sand at the Theewaterskloof Dam, which has less than 20% of it's water capacity, near Villiersdorp, about 108 km from Cape Town. This dam is the main water source for the city of Cape Town, and there is only 10% of it's usual capacity left for human consumption, at the last 10% is not usable, due to the silt content. The Western Cape Province, which includes Cape Town is suffering from one of the worst water shortages in living memory. This has necessitated the Cape Town City Council to establish stringent water usage restrictions, and unless unexpectedly heavy rains fall soon, the province will begin a cycle of drought.
