The National Water Roundtable reports that the recent rains in the central mountains have improved the water level of the dams in the country’s southern region. Nevertheless, catchment areas in the northern region are still affected by the lack of rain.
The roundtable, which is headed by the National Hydraulic Resources Institute (INDRHI), says that water rationing for irrigation would continue despite the rains, in order to prioritize water for the aqueducts.
The reservoirs in the south whose water levels have risen are Valdesia, Jiguey, Sabana Yegua and Sabaneta.
