‘Four-minute shower’: Colombians cope with water cuts

About ten million residents of the Colombian capital Bogota are being forced to ration water amid crippling shortages due to a severe drought.

Officials have split the region around the capital into nine zones - each zone taking turns to switch off water services for 24 hours.
