As the effects of climate change take hold, causing seemingly unpredictable weather patterns and wreaking havoc on many industries, homes, and communities, treating water as our most precious resource must be an imperative for every person living in South Africa. We took a look at how restaurants and hotels in Cape Town are responding to the water crisis, and listed a few of the more innovative ways they\u2019re saving water below:<br \/>\nDuring <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eatout.co.za\/article\/20-ways-restaurants-saving-water\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">November 2017, EatOut<\/a> put together this list of handy tips and tricks shared by restauranteurs in the region.

The Vineyard Hotel, for example has:<br \/>\n<em>\u201c\u2026discarded pasta from the menus at their restaurants and patrons can no longer order boiled vegetables. Executive chief Carl Van Rooyen said different cooking techniques have been implemented to save water:<\/em><em>&#8220;We don\u2019t boil anymore, we steam. We have taken pasta off our dinner menu\u201a&#8221; he said. Water used to wash vegetables was transferred to 200-litre drums and stored for other uses. &#8220;No more boiling of anything\u201a it is all steaming and frying; deep frying and shallow frying.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\nAnd <a href=\"http:\/\/www.food24.com\/News-and-Guides\/Features\/10-excellent-water-saving-tips-from-an-echo-conscious-restaurateur-and-chef-20171019\" rel=\"nofollow\">this handy guide, put together by Food24<\/a>, outlined how local chef and owner of Saucisse Deli, Amanda Lewis, seeks to save water in her kitchen.<br \/>\nAn interruption in water supply can be devastating for any industry, and for <a href=\"http:\/\/sbstanks.co.za\/applications\/food_and_beverage\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">food and beverage establishments in South Africa<\/a>, it\u2019s an operational nightmare, as the effects of climate change take hold.
