Puerto Rico begins water rationing in San Juan and other major cities as crisis deepens.
Residents will lose running water for up to 48 hours at a time under a rotating rationing schedule.
Puerto Rico is set to implement water rationing measures across San Juan and several other major cities as a relentless drought tightens its grip on the U.S. territory with no immediate relief in sight.
Starting Friday, more than 180,000 customers will face 48-hour water cutoffs on an alternating schedule, as authorities scramble to address the deepening crisis amid persistent extreme heat warnings.
