The US Department of Agriculture has declared a drought disaster in 26 municipalities across Puerto Rico, allowing them to access federal assistance programs. Extreme drought conditions now affect 44% of the island, impacting over 3 million people and leading to water rationing in several areas. The Carraízo reservoir, which supplies water to parts of the metropolitan area, is critically low, and the La Plata reservoir is nearing its 'operational adjustments' level.
