Caribbean water deficits
CEO of the Central Water and Sewerage Authority-CWSA
At least four eastern Caribbean territories are currently feeling the effects of the current dry spell and are reporting significant water deficits. The St. Lucia Water and Sewerage Company, WASCO, has already commenced water rationing in the Southern Choiseul district and, according to their media platform, has also had to resort to trucking water to customers in the affected villages.
In St.Vincent, the negative effects of the lack of rainfall and significantly reduced river flows have been further aggravated by the loss of four Red Zone water systems in the aftermath of the eruption of La Soufriere volcano, and the increasing demand now assigned to the remaining eight water sources as a result of the relocation of 15,000 evacuees
