Is DR in awater crisis and how will that affect foreigners?
....the fluid would fit in a "Dixie Cup"!
there is a plan to eradicate all gringos in DR and liquidate them. literally. extract all the water from their bodies and use it to fill up reservoirs. run away.
They'll just drink more Presidente and Brugal and not water their lawns...
Yesterday, Tuesday 21 July 2015, the water system could only provide 329.74 million gallons of water per day n a normal daily supply of water is 400 million gallons. This deficit of 71 million gallons of water per day is expected to increase and CAASD simply cannot distribute water that it simply does not have.
Not that most people would dare drink tap water here.
Is DR in awater crisis ...?
Depends what area you live in. Punta Cana for example has been receiving a pretty normal amount of rain in the past few weeks.
Tap water or purified water, in the end it's the same source, just an extra step of purification.
Not necessarily. A reverse osmosis plant can be used to process sea water into drinking water.
The water company is not going to pump seawater to your house.
Rain dance, anyone?
I know that can be done, however, e.g. Planeta Azul buys ('buys'?) the water from CAASD, purifies it and sells it in 5 gallon jugs.
I just had a well installed at one of my properties today. I went down 80' , and I have 10' of standing water at the bottom of the well. Not a bad level given the lack of rain on the north coast.
So yes it affected this foreigner because I had to buy a well. Hahah
Sorry to hear that WW,check the well water.... much of the well water is field run off - lots of cows in those fields.
My first well showed 25 ft of water and was dry in 1 week..... it was just 'passing through', not a true well
Thank you Captain Obvious!just because you have a well doesnt mean you will have water.
who else is tapping the aquifer?
all the water ultimately comes from the same source, rainfall
