Long weeks after Tropical Storm Noel damaged major aqueducts in the southern Dominican Republic, many people are still without drinking water. At first, the continuing rains enabled people to collect rain water to drink and wash, but after a week of clear skies, even this water is in short supply and people are getting very anxious. In Los Alcarrizos in Santo Domingo province, in Padre de Las Casas in Azua province and other places, people are using any water they can find to fulfill their needs. According to sources at the Santo Domingo Water Works (CAASD) the aqueduct that connects to El Duey will not be reconnected until mid-December.
