      abstract = {The book presents the history of water supply to Cape  Town, leading up to the worst ever drought recorded,  through political turmoil impacting on drought  interventions and resulting in the adoption of an  integrated water strategy. Regions reliant on water supply  from rainfed dams have always been vulnerable to the impact  of drought. This is exacerbated by the uncertainty of  future rainfall, which is never guaranteed, and reliance is  placed on modelling using historic data. While weather has  always been variable, climate has been generally reliable.  With anthropogenic activity causing changes in climate, the  validity of modelling based on history is currently not  fully trusted. Unless the storage capacity is sufficient to  carry through numerous seasons of poor rainfall, even with  water restrictions to match demand and supply in times of  depleted rainfall, the risk of reservoirs running dry  remains a threat.},
