......@@ -38,3 +44,7 @@ So, I started to do what a maker/geek does: I'm projecting and building electron
When i was thinking about how to share those project with the world, i cannot avoid to think that maybe out there others are doing the same, for sure here in Cape Town, probably in other parts of the world too. So, why not to try to organize all those efforts?
I'll start by put on HTW my own projects and all the infos and docs i can find on things that can help other thinkers to do what i'm doing, but i really hope HTW will attract like minded people to create a huge repository of knoweledge, software and hardware. Togheter we can make our water usage a lot better!

There is a plenty of data available on the Cape Town drought crisis that can be usefull for a lot of different projects.
In this post i will try to list the sources of that data more usefull to build web sites, apps and anything needs to collect and crunch numbers on the actual water crisis to ease any furter developement and statistical analisys of the actual situation.
