More than 500,000 people in Puerto Rico face water rationing due to the drought

Starting this Friday, more than 500,000 people in Puerto Rico are facing water rationing imposed by the government. The measure was enacted due to critically low water levels in the region's main reservoir caused by an ongoing drought.

Residents and authorities have stored the maximum amount of water possible in preparation for the restrictions. The situation highlights the severe impact of environmental conditions on local infrastructure and public utility availability in the affected areas of San Juan and Trujillo Alto.
