Santo Domingo Water Works (CAASD) president Mariano German is calling on the public to control water consumption amidst fears of a possible drought. German said that the flow of the Haina-Manoguayabo River - one of Santo Domingo's main water sources - has been reduced by 65%. The river is normally able to provide 95 million gallons of water to the province of Santo Domingo and the National District. German says that in order to fulfill water needs, water trucks will be distributing water to citizens in an equal way. "We ask the public to understand the situation about the drought we are starting to experience. It is a natural phenomenon, during which we are having to apply water supply ration programs, some of which will include changing the frequency of drinking water supplies in the barrios and residential areas of Santo Domingo and the National District."
