Researchers believe St Lucia and
by extension the Caribbean is entering a period of extended dry periods never
before seen. Data from the World Meteorological Organization, the Caribbean
Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology, and the Caribbean Community Climate
Change Centre, indicate that the persistent drought that has affected the
Caribbean in recent years could worsen in 2016. They can last from several
weeks to months, causing significant hardship due to lack of water for
drinking, cleaning, and watering crops. In the face of the prolonged dry spell
being predicted in coming months, Rayneau Construction and Industrial Products
Ltd is offering a number of solutions to mitigate the effects of the drought on homeowners,
businesses, farmers etc.
The water authority (WASCO), being aware of the impending
dry spell, have already put a number of measures in place – rationing being at
their top of the list. This will greatly affect the frequency of your supply. Bearing this in
mind, we have searched our stock database and have identified items which will help
you minimize the effects of the drought by storing and conserving this precious
commodity – water.
Water Tanks |
- Get a large water tank (400 - 800 gallons is usually standard) from RCIP Ltd. Get several if you plan on storing the water.
- Place the water tank under a downspout gutter and run the gutter into the tank.
- Check our in-store CSRs for pipe fittings.
Fluidmaster Duo Flush |
- You can get a low-flow shower head to save water while you shower.
- Install a low-volume toilet to avoid wasting water while flushing
Water your lawn sparingly. At Rayneau Construction and Industrial Products Ltd, we know that you have placed endless hours into seeing what your lawn is today. Without proper care during the drought period your lawn can turn from bottle green to amber in little time. A local caretaker on lawn maintenance shared these suggestions to keep your lawn lush green throughout the dry spell.
- Lawns usually only need to be watered once a week during the a dry spell.
- Make sure you irrigate early in the morning to reduce evaporative losses.
- Second, water deeply to make sure the water you apply gets deep in the soil and to reduce evaporation loss.
- And third, if you can still irrigate at least once a week, feed your lawn with a fertilizer that provides the essential nutrients to help your lawn withstand the drought and recover as temperatures and conditions improve.
