According to the Santo Domingo Aqueduct and Sewage Corporation (CAASD) residents of Santo Domingo waste between 300 and 500 liters per day, which is almost double the world average. According to Ramon Rivas the study includes the area of "Greater Santo Domingo" where water consumption is above the world average. He added that if it continues, this habit could lead to a water crisis for the city in the future. Rivas said that excessive use by citizens can be blamed, but an outdated water network also creates water issues. He said that 15% to 20% of the water administered by the CAASD is wasted because of the problems in the water networks.
