Tegucigalpa bets on San José Dam, loss cuts to avert water crisis

The Central District municipality, after easing rationing from 12 to 9 days, is prioritizing the San José Dam and water-loss reduction to prevent future shortages. Reservoir levels are mixed—Los Laureles full, La Concepción above 40%—so the plan's viability hinges on construction and leakage control. This signals a shift from reactive rationing to preventive infrastructure investment.
