CUBA:
Drought-Stricken East Pins Hopes on Aqueduct
Tension fills the air
as 300,000 people in eastern Cuba anxiously await the construction of an
aqueduct that is to bring them water from the Cauto River, the longest
on this Caribbean island.
The emergency caused by the intense drought has lasted more than a year,
and the city of Holguín, 700 km from Havana, is counting the hours. Two
of the three nearby reservoirs are now dry, and the third holds barely
enough water for 100 days of even limited use.
''I used to pray for rain, but now I am following with my soul the
construction of the aqueduct. That appears to be our salvation,'' says
Belkys Gómez, a 37-year-old woman who ''had a well in the back patio,
but it dried up.''
