HOWELL: The city of Cape Town, South Africa, was on the verge of running out of water for more than a year but conservation measures have certainly played a part.</s>HOWELL: Now to tell you about UNESCO. It selected six new World Heritage sites, each with a cultural, historic or scientific significance for humanity. Those sites include the Victorian Gothic and Art Deco ensembles of Mumbai, India, which were part of an urban planning project in the 19th century. The Sassanid archaeological landscape in Fars, Iran, this is a combination of eight sites that date back more than 1,500 years. In Nagasaki, Japan, there is the hidden Christian sites, 10 villages, Hara Castle and a cathedral built between the 16th and 19th centuries. Then there is the Sansa Buddhist mountain monasteries in South Korea. That includes seven temples built between the 7th and the 9th centuries. In the Arctic Circle, there is the Inuit hunting ground, which contains 4,000 years of human history. And finally the archeological border complex of the Hedeby and the Danevirke in Germany. This holds the remains of a trading town dating back to the 1st and 2nd millennia. It's amazing to see these sites. We thank you so much for being with us here for CNN NEWSROOM.
