Drought Hit Puerto Rico's Rationing Measures: A Crisis Years in the Making The island of Puerto Rico is facing a severe drought that has left over 180,000 residents without access to water for extended periods.
The rationing measures implemented by the government will see households go without water for 48 hours at a time on a rotating basis.
Governor Jenniffer Gonzalez has attributed the crisis to weather conditions, but experts warn that dry conditions will persist until September.
