Seven of the 13 major systems in the country are expected to fall short if their capacity is not increased. Experts are now warning that day zero may come much sooner.

Different communities in the country have had to go weeks with dry taps, leaving them to rely on water tankers for water. In these communities, residents have complained that in most cases these water tankers do not show up.
