Puerto Rico’s Water Crisis Is Caused By Ineptitude And Climate Doom, But All Ineptitude

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


It’s always some sort of Blamestorming from the cult

With Puerto Rico’s water crisis, climate change meets ineptitude

Last week in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the water taps ran dry.

The Caribbean island experienced its driest July on record, with more than 60% of the territory — more than 3 million residents — facing drought conditions according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.

In fact, PR has a history of droughts. That’s a condition based on where it is located.

Large trucks filled with potable water have been sent throughout the island to help residents, with the sick and elderly given preference.

But this dire water situation didn’t just happen overnight or even over the course of the past few months.

“For decades, communities have lived without fair access to water resources, and experts have repeatedly warned that the lack of infrastructure maintenance and poor watershed management would lead Puerto Rico to the water crisis it faces today.”

So, pretty much incompetence. Poor planning. Bad government. I wonder how much money went into graft, waste, and fraud rather than the infrastructure, especially as the population of PR has grown, as has the tourist industry?

“The challenge comes from two key issues,” Gossett Navarro said. “One is an ongoing challenge that we’ve had for decades related to infrastructure and then there are the challenges that get exacerbated by the climate crisis … we’re struggling with a drought and it’s making the infrastructure issues even worse.”

Sigh.

It’s currently estimated that approximately 60% of water that travels through Puerto Rico’s geriatric pipes is lost due to leaks and other infrastructural issues, Navarro mentioned.

So even when it does rain, and a percentage of that water lands in accessible reservoirs, citizens are only able to use a fraction of that fraction.

That’s not ‘climate change’.
