SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Puerto Rico announced water
rationing measures on Thursday as a drought grips the U.S.
territory, worsening chronic water shortages that have forced
the governor to declare a state of emergency.
Thousands of people in the island’s northeast region face 48-
hour rationing periods from Friday, said Luis González,
executive president of the island’s water and sewer authority.
The rationing program will affect several communities in the
cities of Canovanas and Rio Grande as temperatures keep rising.
