  • the water you see in front of us is all will be allocated to use that.

  • 75 leaders for three people, roughly 20 gallons.

  • In order to live like Cap Tony ins, we have to turn off the water to our house.

  • Well, here goes nothing.

  • Gotta stuck somewhere.

  • I've already spilled water.

  • You have to go through the list of all your activities that you normally use water for, and allocate a certain amount of water and then add that up and make sure you fall under the 25 liters a day.

  • Once you start to see how small the numbers are, you start to really feel the pinch way.

  • Bathing was an interesting experience.

  • About five gallons each.

  • Five for you, five for my and I together.

  • You have to keep that water warm, so we had to heat it up over the stove.

  • It takes a long time.

  • It's gonna be relaxing.

  • You have a bath now you're only talking like inch or two of water depth.

  • You wash yourself by suds in ups, um, soap.

  • Then using a cup once that dirty or gray water has been used for bathing.

  • We took that water and we filled the back of the toilet.

  • And that allowed us to flush the toilets when it was absolutely necessary.

  • Well, uh, every single process of our day was lengthened because of that.

  • How am I gonna do this?

  • How am I going to accomplish this regular task that I take for granted numbers?

  • Ambitious.

  • Fortunately, we have two sinks in our kitchen which I know not everybody does.

  • Dirty side, clean side we put.

  • I think it was six leaders in the one side and four leaders on the other side.

  • Every drop counts.

  • The rial trick is just to wipe your dishes with paper towel as much as you can before putting it in the water.

  • I was quite shocked at how in some elements of the day, like brushing your teeth, for example, how little water I actually do need.

  • For me, the most challenging thing doing a full load of laundry is totally overwhelming.

  • I mean, we did a small amount, and I am almost tempted to put that load in the washing machine, just in case no city has done this before.

  • No city has been forced to do this before.

  • I think about There are large portion of the Africa that have never had access to running water.

  • They live like this every single day.

  • They go and collect their water.

  • They ration it out.

  • The biggest worry is the actual water collection we didn't have to do that.

  • 25 leaders is a lot of water for one person to go and collect.

  • If we're collecting for our whole family than its, you know, even Mawr challenging.

  • It's a lot of people all waiting for their most basic resource.

  • As off 23 hours and 30 minutes, way officially, only have one container off water left.

  • We actually believe it or not.

  • Had about three liters of water left at the end of the day out of 75.

  • Thank goodness for Maya's portion, right?

  • Yes, because without Maya, we with her 25 liters, we would have run out of water.

  • I'm far more wasteful than I would like to be.

  • I didn't like that about myself, that realization.

  • So I really do want to make a few changes in the way upgrade in our house.

  • We know that water scarcities, water, scarce locations.

  • It's not a problem that's just gonna magically disappear.

  • 24 hours.

  • We got a taste of it.

  • But we will change our lifestyle because of this thing.

  • Mhm.

the water you see in front of us is all will be allocated to use that.
