The Dominican Republic is facing a drought threat, despite initially satisfactory reservoir levels. The Santo Domingo Water Service Corporation has launched an emergency supply plan due to decreasing river flows, leading to temporary interruptions in several areas. Weather forecasts predict a decrease in rainfall for the second half of the year, exacerbated by the El Niño phenomenon, which is also impacting agriculture.
