The Tropical Storm Franklin that affected the Dominican Republic on 22-23 August 2023 brought a lot of water to some areas of the country, water that was indeed needed in most places. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The water was a blessing to some reservoirs, while barely contributing to others. The National Institute for Hydraulic Resources (Indrhi) said that the reservoirs that benefited the most from the rains were Valdesia-Barias, and Sabana Yegua, which are major sources of water for Santo Domingo, and much of the coastal areas west of the National District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Hatillo, nearly 22,000,000 m3 of water poured into the reservoir. Jig\u00fcey also received a lot of water, nearly 15 million cubic meters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As reported by many persons, the rains did not fall evenly over the entire country, and some of the reservoirs have reported decreasing levels of water after the storm passed. As a result, the head of Indrhi, Olmedo Caba, said all of the major dams in the Cibao Central and the Northwest Line: Tavera-Bao, Rio Blanco, Moncion, Maguaca and Chacuey all has less water on Thursday than they had on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spokesperson for the Institute said that the completion of the Monte Grande dam project will add a huge amount of water-storing capacity to the system and that the National Water Pact also contemplates at least two new dams, one in Elias Pi\u00f1a and another in the East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Meteorological Office (Onamet) reported that in Barahona, in the start of Franklin\u2019s path over the island, over 12 inches of water were measured falling during the tropical storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
