The drought leaves Puerto Rico counting drops of water

Puerto Rico is currently facing one of its most severe water crises in the last decade. As of late July, drought conditions impacted approximately 60% of the island's territory, prompting the government to declare a state of emergency and mobilize the National Guard to address the scarcity.

The situation has intensified significantly in recent weeks, necessitating the implementation of water rationing measures for the population. Authorities are actively managing the crisis as the island continues to struggle with the ongoing lack of rainfall.
