The Future of Water Management in Cape Town: Embracing Seawater for Sustainable Sanitation

by Chloe de Kock
April 14, 2025

Cape Town is tackling its water crisis by looking to the ocean for solutions! The city is considering using seawater for flushing toilets, which could save precious freshwater for drinking and cooking. Many residents are on board with this idea, preferring seawater over recycled water because it seems cleaner and safer. While there are challenges to setting up new pipes and systems, this innovative approach could help Cape Town manage its water better in a changing climate. By thinking outside the box, Cape Town hopes to lead the way for other cities facing similar water issues.
