Reservoir levels across Trinidad and Tobago have seen significant increases, with all four main reservoirs surpassing the halfway mark in terms of their Long Term Averages (LTAs). As of November 28, the Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) reported that the Arena Reservoir is at 57.99 percent capacity (108.45 feet), which is an improvement from 55.79 percent (107.75 feet) the previous week.
Additionally, the Hollis Reservoir has reached 71.09 percent capacity (612.6 feet), up from 65.66 percent (611.1 feet) last week. However, the Navet Reservoir in South Trinidad currently stands at 55.56 percent (300.0 feet), an increase from 49.63 percent (298.1 feet) from the week prior. In Tobago, the Hillsborough Reservoir remains at full capacity, measuring 870 feet.
The Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) routinely monitors and reports on water levels in various reservoirs across Trinidad and Tobago. These reports are essential as they inform the public of water availability and help manage resources, particularly in light of seasonal rainfall fluctuations. The improvement in reservoir levels indicates a positive trend in water storage which is crucial for ensuring adequate supply for residential and agricultural uses.
In summary, the recent update from WASA provides encouraging information regarding the rising water levels in Trinidad and Tobago’s reservoirs. This trend suggests positive water management practices and favorable weather conditions, which are imperative for sustaining future water supply and mitigating drought conditions. Continuous monitoring will be essential as changes may occur with the upcoming wet season.
