Install climate models

These are one of the best tools water management officials and scientists have in planning for extreme weather events. Climate models are basically computer programmes that are able to simulate the future conditions of a particular part of the world. These computer simulations incorporate both theory and direct observations of the past and present to enable them project climate into the future. At the height of the crisis in Cape Town, Western Cape Premier Helen Zille said South African weather services complained that their models do not work anymore in an era of climate change. This is rather unfortunate and points to the fact that all and sundry must pay close attention to the current global warming trend which is basically caused by human expansion of the greenhouse effect.
