WASA has reported rising reservoir levels across Trinidad and Tobago, with the Arena reservoir at 57.99%, Hollis at 71.09%, Navet at 55.56%, and the Hillsborough reservoir in Tobago at full capacity. These updates reflect significant improvements compared to the previous week’s levels, supporting ongoing water management efforts in the region.
The Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) of Trinidad and Tobago reported significant updates on reservoir levels, indicating an encouraging rise across the country. As of November 28, the Arena reservoir has reached a level of 57.99%, approximately 108.45 feet, surpassing its previous measurement of 55.79% just a week earlier. Meanwhile, the Hollis reservoir currently stands at 71.09%, at 612.6 feet, reflecting a notable increase from 65.66% the prior week. The Navet reservoir has also improved, with current levels at 55.56% or 300.0 feet, up from 49.63% previously. In Tobago, the Hillsborough reservoir is reported to be at full capacity, maintaining a level of 870 feet.
Reservoir levels are critical to managing water supply in Trinidad and Tobago, especially given the region’s reliance on these resources for both domestic and agricultural needs. It is standard practice for the Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) to monitor these levels closely and provide regular updates to the public. The Long Term Average (LTA) serves as a benchmark for assessing the current status of reservoir capacities, providing a crucial reference point for water management policies.
In conclusion, WASA’s recent reports illustrate a positive trend in reservoir levels across Trinidad and Tobago, with all monitored reservoirs recording increases. This progress reflects ongoing efforts in water resource management and is vital for addressing the needs of the population and the environment. Continued vigilance and maintenance of these resources are essential for future sustainability.
