The Cape Town Science Centre is celebrating the wonders of water and encouraging our visitors to be Water Wise… Join us in the month of March as we get hands-on with water saving.
Did you know? Of all the water in the world, only 3% is fresh. Less than one third of 1% of this fresh water is available for human use. The rest is frozen in glaciers or polar ice caps, or is deep within the earth, beyond our reach.
