The Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) is reassuring the public that it is proactively managing water distribution as the country transitions from the 2026 Dry Season into the rainy period but urges citizens to adopt practical water conservation measures.
Although the rainy season was officially declared in May, WASA explained that a two-month transition is typical before surface water sources stabilize. This delay has left the North-West Region particularly vulnerable, with rainfall levels falling below average.
Surface water facilities, including the Maraval Water Treatment Plant and several smaller intakes, have seen reduced production volumes. Groundwater sources also are under pressure, with approximately 90 wells—among them Moka, Paramin, El Socorro, and Santa Cruz—experiencing lower aquifer recharge due to diminished rainfall.
