Puerto Rico Water Crisis: Severe Drought Triggers 48-Hour Water Rationing

Puerto Rico has begun 48-hour water rationing for more than 180,000 households as a severe drought leaves reservoirs dangerously depleted.

Residents in and around San Juan are facing growing difficulties accessing regular water supplies, with many relying on water tankers and storage tanks to meet daily needs.

The dry conditions have placed additional pressure on the island’s water system, while authorities continue to manage limited reserves as the drought persists.

The worsening water shortage is raising concerns for households and communities that depend on already strained reservoirs for their daily water needs.
