The Capital of South Africa is facing a severe drought in the wake of both climate change and shortsighted water management.
"Cape Town relies on six main reservoirs for its drinking water; together these reservoirs can store 230 billion gallons (about 870,000 megaliters) of water. After back-to-back years of severe drought, these reservoirs hold just 26 percent of that total — a level that is likely to continue dropping until the rainy season starts in May. The time lapse, captured by the Landsat-8 satellite and published by NASA’s Earth Observatory, shows Cape Town’s largest reservoir, Theewaterskloof Dam, drying to just 13 percent capacity."

This short video talks briefly about recent legislation that may enable carcinogens to find their way into California's drinking water. Unsafe levels of Chromium 6 is the culprit of contamination in this case, and it seems they could be here to stay after a judge in May ruled that previous restrictive legislation was not written properly.
