Wellington Arnaud says the drought situation is very difficult.

Wellington Arnaud, director of the National Institute of Potable Water and Sewers (Inapa), has stated that the drought situation in the Dominican Republic is very difficult. Speaking publicly on the issue, Arnaud urged the Dominican population to ration and conserve water resources.

The water scarcity is being driven by ongoing drought conditions affecting both the country and other regions globally. According to officials, these dry conditions are directly linked to the El Niño phenomenon, prompting calls for heightened public awareness and conservation efforts.
