GET PREPARED - WE MAY BE HEADING FOR A LONG-TERM DROUGHT

Whether you believe in climate change or not (there are many out there who don’t), you and your family will have to deal with natural phenomena at one point in your lives. One of those phenomena is drought (dry spell), which is defined simply as the absence or lack of water for an extended period of time, at a place and to an extent where it is considered abnormal.

Concerns have been raised by the Barbados-based Caribbean Climate Outlook Forum (CariCOF), over the long-term drought in the islands of the Eastern Caribbean particularly from St Lucia north to Antigua.  

CariCOF mentions that while a short-term drought, up to the end of May, might possibly develop or continue in St Lucia, long-term drought is also evolving for the island and a few of its neighbours.

      St Lucians are warned that by the end of May, they may experience significantly reduced water levels in large reservoirs, large rivers, and groundwater. So says CariCOF in its latest bulletin.

        To experience below normal rainfall during the dry season is far from ideal. This, therefore, calls for immediate action to minimize the negative effects of water shortage. Farmers and householders, among others, could consider rainwater harvesting, along with its proper storage during occasional wet days and of course, employ water conservation methods otherwise.

3.    While we’re nowhere near the emergency conditions of a dry spell, now is the time to begin focusing heavily on water conservation in preparation for a potentially worse dry spell.
