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.
Please note that the list is incomplete and limited to the sources i know and/or i've used for my own project ( including this web site ).
if you have any other data source you would like to add, you are more than welcome to directly contribute to this site ( looks at [CONTRIBUTE page](/contribute) or even just drop me an email to [franco@nexlab.it](franco@nexlab.it) and i will be happy to add your suggested source of data to this list.
