A severe, prolonged drought lasting more than 100 days has pushed communities across Puerto Rico into a critical water shortage, forcing residents in municipalities like Trujillo Alto and San Juan to collect water from natural springs and private wells. Following the implementation of a strict 48-hour rotational rationing plan by the Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (AAA), local families carrying jerrycans and gallon containers reported going over a week without running tap water. Frustrated residents criticized successive government administrations for failing to fix failing infrastructure and chronic pipe leaks, while emergency authorities deployed water tankers and established mobile oases to prioritize hospitals, elderly care facilities, and vulnerable neighborhoods. #puertorico #watercrisis #drought #sanjuan #trujilloalto #breakingnews #worldnews #topnews #caribbean #climatecrisis #ctvnews #usnews In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay connected
