Despite yesterday’s heavy rains in the capital, water levels remain critically low, owing to the almost total lack of rainfall in recent months. The country’s 12 reservoirs are just above minimum capacity levels, reports Diario Libre. Water companies have reduced supply to the public and have been urging people for some time to conserve water consumption. Weather forecasters have not been able to predict how the drought, which has been linked to the El Ni?o phenomenon, will last.
