dc.description.abstract Human behaviour is one of the main forces in the utilisation of natural resources. Nowhere has the way people use water been more illustrative than in the current drought-ravaged Cape Town where calls for more prudent water behaviour has led to the avoidance of the dreaded ‘Day Zero’, a scenario where the water network would be turned off to 75% of the City and residents would have to collect water from distribution points. This article explores some myths and how these could constitute human behaviour around household water use. en_US
