>One-third of the city’s residents are set to have their water supply cut off for eight hours every day, possibly beginning as early as Friday; different neighborhoods will take turns in sharing the burden. It’s an unprecedented move for a major Italian city, said Giampaolo Attanasio, a public infrastructure expert at the advisory firm Ernst & Young. But it may soon be routine.

>The main culprit, experts say, is climate change. In 2017, Italy experienced its second-hottest spring in the past 200 years, according to a report by Italy's Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate. Spring rainfall decreased by 50 percent compared with the seasonal average, the same report said, and nearby Lake Bracciano, from which the city gets part of its water supply, is drying up at an alarming rate: The water level has fallen by 1 centimeter every single day.

We wuz Romans n shit. We wuz an empire n shit. Well now Italy is so poor and so without infrastructure spending that it has to turn off water for 8 hours a day. I can't even imagine what life would be like if the taps were dry for 8 hours every day. That's what happens when you invite the entire population of Africa into Italy- you get Africa- people trekking miles to water holes and a lack of clean water.
