Puerto Rico Faces Historic Drought, Could Harvest Rainwater for Relief

Puerto Rico is currently experiencing a historic drought, leading to water rationing following the driest month on record in July. Despite abundant rainfall annually, the government does not require US citizens in Puerto Rico to install catchment systems to utilize this free resource. As climate change increases the likelihood of more intense droughts on the island, decentralized infrastructure such as rainwater harvesting may provide a solution. (Wired)
