Puerto Rico to Implement Water Rationing Amid Severe Drought
Puerto Rico is set to begin water rationing as it faces its worst drought in over a decade. Starting Friday, approximately half a million residents in San Juan and surrounding areas will experience water cuts on a rotating schedule. The drought has severely depleted key reservoirs, and with no significant rainfall expected, the government is forced to take drastic measures. The situation has sparked public protests, with citizens expressing frustration over long-standing water shortages exacerbated by infrastructure issues and corruption. The government plans to use emergency funds to provide cisterns and drinking water to affected communities.
