Caracas to begin four months of water rationing

[Zorro]

Water use in Caracas will be rationed for at least four months due to drought, authorities said Tuesday, as Venezuela grapples with shortages of basic goods which have spurred massive anti-government protests.

"We made a special water supply plan that will be released so that our people know the days they will have continuous service, night service and no service," Environment Minister Miguel Leonardo Rodriguez told reporters.

One in every four goods including basic food, hygiene products, medicine and auto parts, however, have already become difficult to find, resulting in long, lengthy lines.

The shortages, rampant crime, inflation and other economic woes have resulted in more than two months of anti-government unrest which has left 41 people dead and more than 700 injured.

1. Undoubtedly part of the secret CIA plan

controlling weather to embarrass the Maduro government.

2. exactly, it may be necessary but doesn't help. And something tells me that

water infrastructure isn't very well suited to account for periodic drought situations.

3. why 4 months? A heavy rain or two should do the trick and its rainy season

then again this is the same government that was constructing a housing development without checking to see if water was available.

4. No water, no electricity (so no a/c)...good grief.

No phone, no light, no motorcar, not a single luxury....

It's gonna be a long hot summer.....
