The Meteorological Service has painted a grim outlook for the prospects of rainfall during the first quarter of the year, which is generally characterized by dry spells.
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.
After enduring the driest year in over half a
century, St Lucians are being warned to brace for more drought-like conditions
and the increased threat of heatwaves throughout 2020, according to local
experts.
Below normal and near-normal rainfall are
predicted for the months of January, February and March.
To experience below normal rainfall during the dry season is far from ideal. This, therefore, calls for immediate action to minimise 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.
While we’re nowhere near 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.
There are many things you can do to address this
problem or prevent its impact when it actually happens:
Think
