CNN reports on a water department’s efforts to save marriages. The Reuters item says (excerpt):
Couples in the Philippine capital of Manila could find themselves in hot water after being asked to start sharing the tub at bath time as part of a conservation drive.
“Start sharing baths with your partner to conserve water,” the environment department has advised the parched capital’s 12 million residents.
Unseasonably dry weather has depleted water levels in the main reservoirs supplying the metropolis and officials were meeting on Friday to consider rationing and other measures.
