50 Liters Life is a documentary telling the story of the worst drought ever to occur in South Africa between 2015 and 2018. Because of irregular rainfalls, the Government was forced to ask citizens to reduce drastically water consumption down to just 50 liters per person, per day in order to conserve their most precious resource. Whilst strategies carried out by the most ingenious citizens in order to save water have led to good results, on the other side of the conversation, the future of agriculture and the effects this had on the poorest fringe of the population is still unknown, giving rise to disputes around the city.
The target of 50 liters per day can be easily spent! A few examples of our daily use that are hard to imagine include:
1 toilet flush = 9 liters
1 shower = an average of 7.5 liters per minute, depending on the shower.
1 dishwasher cycle = 9 liters
Laundry = 10 liters
Drinking water = 3 liters per person
Cooking = 2 liters
However, as the rules were enforced, citizens got used to changing their lifestyles and were wasting less water. What the city of Cape Town did to deal with the drought has never been attempted before in the world. This documentary explores the ways it was managed, and the difficulties the residents had in collecting their water. Work and school schedules had to allow for the collection per person - and doing so without a car was a challenge many citizens had to solve themselves. The entire situation provides a lesson that other countries can learn from South Africa, whether or not they are at risk of running out of a water. This could be a model of sustainably regardless of its need.
So, is it possible to live a 50 litre life?

Cus weather manipulation hasny been a thing for a century already? Ok
Having been born in a tropical region where rainfall is abundant, it's easy to take this natural resource for granted. We don’t often pause to recognize the immense value of something that is so readily available to us. I feel a deep sense of guilt when I think about the people in other parts of the world who face daily challenges just to secure enough water for their basic needs. They endure so much hardship to access a resource that we rarely think twice about. Even now, as I watch the rain pouring down outside, I’m struck by the stark contrast between our experiences. It’s heartbreaking to realize that while some of us live with an abundance of water, others must struggle and suffer without it. The feeling of helplessness is overwhelming, knowing that I have so much yet am unable to do anything significant to alleviate their suffering. This disparity weighs heavily on my conscience, and I ask for forgiveness for the times I’ve been indifferent to their plight. I’m committed to finding ways, however small, to contribute to solutions that address this global issue.
And recognising this, knowing they have no water, people continue to overpopulate where they cannot survive. Seems rather bizarre and self inflicted
The population of Cape Town metro area have more than doubled in the last 30 years.
This means that the consumption for drinking, cooking, hygiene, washing, industry etc have all gone up.
Water is not infinite.
There is a water-limit to how many people can live at any given region.
Their government can get them fresh water, especially bc they’re next to an ocean. They just need to run their country properly. So much crime, etc.
The drought that hit South Africa was in 2018 so this is an old documentary/story
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer
Hurtful stories this 😢
Put your faith in God, and he will send rain where it is lacking
✨Exceptional Reporting on South African 💦 situation & current Status ✅Thanks
A finite resource and an exponentially growing world population. WTF do people think will happen?
Corporation and greed is the root cause of all problems
Water isn't finite. Same as people's stupidity.
@@Hsd2315 coca cola and other bottled water and bottled drink manufacturers
Water is almost as finite as air.
In the US, billionaires and corporations are buying up land to control the water rights. Citizens don't even know it. Its It's not about the land its all about the water.
Hello thank you
I am a Kenyan, we used to have water issues about 2 decades ago but then the government drilled the water table boreholes. So why can't SA do the same?
Do you have electricity?
Good question.
@@MrSimonw58 A lot, we even export to the neighboring countries
This doc is portraying consequences of the drought event that happened between 2015-2019
@@MrSimonw58 Yes Kenya does not have an electricity problem like SA. We don't have load shedding like you.
I will not watch this because the background music is too loud!!!
I suspect how this was uploaded messed up the audio. The level or background noise when showing people standing around is odd. The background track is louder than the speakers and there is a tin can sound when they are speaking. I thought it was just my phone but you noticed it too!
Try turning captioning on and turn the volume down. That is what I did
He doesn't know what closed captioning is apparently.
✋✋ Philippines
Any Coca-Cola plants near by? They drain water like there’s no tomorrow
Don't think so ... they would drain the water then give the people coke to shower, cook and wash with.
Why don’t they use weather planes to make it rain
I feel bad for the children in our future generations that will live through the consequences created by the prior generations. Earth is going to be uninhabitable at some point at the rate we’re going.
I wish more people would take that into consideration before having children now.
EL AGUA ESTA EN EL AIRE, NO USAR AGUA PARA DESHECHOS SÓLIDOS HUMANOS, DESTILAR EL AGUA SUCIA ETC.
This was an eye opener. Living in London I never think of water shortage. Now I got to be mindful
They need to move into housing that has water,or move.
Only money can bring rian whit seed cluiding 😅 but we have nature's instinct by god 😅
g ada sub indo nya jd kurang enak
Shame on us, what the damages we done to nature. And shame on us that we still choosing and supporting those corrupt leaders who are the biggest culprits of this damage
I think if we stop pushing the blame on politicians (not saying they don’t contribute to the issues) but focus on what damaging things we do personally and be better in our own lives, collectively we will make a difference.
@@SweetPotata10 litl bit agree with u. But I said politicians are the main culprits becoz they don't even think it's a prob, they are completely in denial mode and politicians are main culprits becoz they need funds for their elections so they are allowing big corporates to destroy our planet's forests and other natural resources and also polluting environment with excessive industrialisation.
Shame!!... :(
Unusual. But this is a garbage documentary.... wasn't even boring...it just became irritating to listen too.... waste of time.

Is a 50 litres per person or per house ?
per person
This video must be old because I visited Cape Town in March 2024, we traveled throughout and didn’t notice anything about a water shortage? Wineries, safari nature reserve, Cape of good hope, Penguin reserve beach, lots of restaurants, shopping, and nightclubs.
Cape Town was wonderful!
Did you watch the video? It was talking about the drought that happened between 2015 to 2018
World is only 6000 yrs old. John 3:16 Context
13And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
this is what happens when demographics are not in your favour. It has been downhill since the fall of Apartheid.
Black people had no water and electricity during apartheid unfortunately. We saw electricity after anc came to power.
@@moagiletlala7330 But Nigerians are your problem.. 😂😂
