The water supply in Havana lives its most critical time for half a century as a result of the drought and deteriorating water systems, a situation that may worsen in the coming weeks if not rain falls, the Cuban government has warned.




More than a million habaneros have been adversely affected by shortages. Currently, about 106,000 people in the capital only receive water through the use of tankers, causing "significant fuel costs," requires the official 'Granma'. Cuba

attributed the decline in water supply sources to the "combined effect of more than two consecutive years with rainfall below normal, the prolonged deterioration of conductive networks and water supply systems, together with wear internal networks and hardware and home institutions, and lack of a savings culture, "says the paper. Havana has a network of pipes 3,158 kilometers, but 70 percent "are in bad condition, which explains that" even miss during the journey from source to their final destination of the water pumped. "

"So the supply of the precious liquid in the capital now faces the most critical situation of the last half century and could worsen further if they fail in all its abundance of rain expected in May and June," warning & # 39; Granma ', citing data and analysis of the Climate Center of the Institute of Meteorology.

forecast meteorological services in April show that can significantly increase rainfall in the island, but "still not be sufficient to offset the deficit incurred in the preceding months. " To address this crisis, the Cuban government has spent "a million-dollar sum" - not specified by 'Granma' - a plan of 14 works to be implemented throughout this year rehabilitation, adaptation and construction of water systems and water supplies.

Cuban authorities have imposed fines on "sobreconsumidores" in "certain organizations" to "the tendency not to introduce measures aimed at curbing waste, a situation that brings out the irresponsibility and lack of sensitivity of managers to the lack of water, "says engineer Jorge Kalaf, provincial deputy delegate Investment and Development of the National Institute of Water Resources.
