Answer:
Explanation:
1. The crisis the people in cape town were facing was a major drought that affected animals, plants, and people.
2. The crisis was caused by 3 years of barely any rainfall and the people using the same amount of water they had been using for a while. Naturally, things caught up and the people were using to much water without enough to supply.
3. The government and local authorities started setting laws to restrict water usage. So businesses and citizens had to restrict water usage very quickly. At one point they said they would run out of water completely, that made reality set in for people. People started setting out separate buckets and jars to collect water for drinking, bathing, and watering their plants for food. Everyone stopped using their baths.
People removed eucalyptus trees so water would start running down the dams.
Businesses had to manage the water even more carefully, they had to make sure that how much water they were using was under the limit but still accommodating either the plants or the people or the animals.
4. The crisis was ultimately resolved when the rain came again and people kept their same restrictions for a little bit to catch up and then they started getting more water gradually but still making sure they weren't using too much.
5. Now that the crisis is over, I think it will have have a lasting impact on the people of Cape Town. I think mentally it made them more aware of what could happen and made them more precarious. I think if there was less rainfall for a bit again they would start going into preparation mode, but this time, know more about how to reverse it and live with it. Like in the video, it showed the hotels, people, and businesses have started monitoring the water usage again and installing things to catch extra water and making sure there is a backup water containers to avoid this in the future. I also think because of all the restrictions it will affect the land for quite a while, you can't just replant trees and vegetables, and regrow all the foods businesses produced with a snap of a finger, it takes time, seasons, months, so consequently as the land is affected so are the people.
I think the crisis affected the people's mindset by changing their outlook on water and showed them how to be more frugal with water.
(you can change this up and put it in your own words if you want, idk, I hope this is good enough :) )
