This could be a problem

 

A community in South Africa may run out of water.

Completely.'

As the title of this post says, that could be a problem.

Day Zero’ water crisis looms on South Africa’s eastern cape

"On Monday, [Gqeberha] city officials announced that one of its four major dams had reached a level so low that barges trying to extract water sucked in mud instead. Another dam is expected to fail in the next two weeks, a third in about a month. Large parts of the city could be completely without running water by the end of the month, according to local officials."

Now, via conservation and a jury-rigged water system, they might avoid a worst-case scenario.  But the bad-case scenario is already here.
