The Municipality of Caimanera is the most affected area, where drought affects thousands of residents and urgent alternatives must be sought.<\/p>\n<p>In a meeting chaired by Antonio Rodr\u00edguez Rodr\u00edguez, president of the National Institute of Hydraulic Resources (INRH), it was reported that although each pump station is designed to pump 600 liters, only 200 are currently being distributed. This reduction limits service and requires adjustments to plans to ensure water supply in the southern area of the city.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-31646 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.radioguantanamo.icrt.cu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/sequia_guantanamo3-e1756569760864.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"639\" height=\"393\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The drought in the territory affects more than 95,000 people, which requires joint efforts. Rodr\u00edguez Rodr\u00edguez insisted that any project that depends on electricity requires greater rigor, as it increases the difficulty of the planned tasks.<\/p>\n<p>Among the options to mitigate the fresh water supply in the provincial capital is the Jaibo reservoir, although it is not yet at full capacity. The official emphasized that it is necessary to activate all possible measures because recent rainfall has been scarce, and there is a risk of entering a more severe period without the reservoirs at 100 percent capacity.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31648\" src=\"https:\/\/www.radioguantanamo.icrt.cu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/sequia_guantanamo1-e1756569816466.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"391\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In closing, the INRH president emphasized that projects must be accelerated and construction work must begin simultaneously, without neglecting those already underway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guant\u00e1namo.- Guant\u00e1namo Province is facing a complex scenario related to its drinking water supply.
