  • 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!!

    I say to heck with green point stadium and the parks, we the public need the water. CT water management personnel should do something about it and there also seems to be a lot of wastage.

    This area couldn't possibly even come close to supplying CT with enough water.

  • @JoeKoch1

    So now I am confused. Is this not enough water to keep the taps running in Cape Town?

  • @klippiesss

    Still not enough water for the city

  • @fredvanleeuwen9996
    @fredvanleeuwen9996 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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.

  • @WayneViviers
    @WayneViviers 6 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    I don't get it. If there is so much water in these vaults, why is CT experiencing a water shortage? Doesn't make sense.

    • @lulamamorris3851
      @lulamamorris3851 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wayne Viviers, My thoughts exactly

    • @rogershannon
      @rogershannon 6 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      the springs produce around 5 - 10 million litres per day.... CT uses 600m per day.

    • @tebogosenyatsi925
      @tebogosenyatsi925 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Wayne Viviers then it might mean CT has no crisis

    LOL @ the maths expert "1686 is 10 years after Jan van Riebeeck got here" !
    *THEREFORE* All you schoolkids watching now : 1652 + 10 = 1686 ! The internet never lies!

  • @adrianmunro7438

    allot of water going to waste...to hell with the stadiums parks and wine farms..the public need the water...!!!

  • @peterk2455
    @peterk2455 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    883.8 megaliters per annum from those springs, that's almost 1.7 days worth of water for Capetown

  • @essiemathee
    @essiemathee 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    With this knowledge the City okayed this water to go to Greenpoint Stadium and Greenpoint echo park.... like serious. We are being fooled.

  • @JosephNordenbrockartistraction
    @JosephNordenbrockartistraction 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    This too needs the sky to RAIN. I'm so happy now the richest people will die last. I want to know who you're talking about when you say "we" are all going to pull through this crisis.

  • @essiemathee
    @essiemathee 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    They were warned about the draught round about when Greenpoint stadium were upgraded and yet, they made sure they can get the stadium be sorted with water, but what about the people.

  • @AmandaWait
    @AmandaWait 6 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    😮Firstly thanks to God for that abundance of water and thanks Jan Van Riebeeck and Simon Van Der Stel for building the vaults. (1686)👍😀

      Amanda Wait no they found the springs they did not building the spring

    • @capitalkingbourne8885
      @capitalkingbourne8885 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The native people built these, probably in slavelike conditions. They also found the springs since they are of the land.

      @montythebruce8460 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Lol your city is out of water and your still worrying about whether a white or black fella built it or found it. Lol its like two ants arguing over huge rock. The rock will outlast em all. Mother nature owns the rock and she doesn't care what colour you are.

  • @pearlybbarends9828
    @pearlybbarends9828 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes, Green Point eco park, and the rest flows into the sea... idiotic, right?
    One of my colleagues approached Patricia De Lille regarding this, and she appeared on the front page of the Cape Times, but did absolutely nothing about it...

    Soooo, temporarily human consumption at home could be more important; than at sport venue's. Running out of good potable water, sooner, because of *less - important use. Hard to explain to a dying√ child or grandparent ? Matt.7:12/ Romans 12:20/ 13:10 Love works no harm, to its neighbor. When the supply was small, God took care of the widow, her son, and Elijah.
