Extreme drought covers 44% of Puerto Rico: water rationing introduced
By August 25, extreme drought covered 44% of Puerto Rico's surface, with three-quarters of the territory experiencing at least moderate drought. Some areas received less than 20% of normal rainfall. Water shortages have forced rationing; farmers are losing crops and livestock owners are exhausting hay supplies. The situation prompted local and federal authorities to declare a state of emergency.
