The mayor of Colombia's capital has introduced new measures to address the water crisis affecting the city of eight million people. The region is currently experiencing a drought linked to the El Niño weather pattern, leading to water rationing and calls for reduced consumption.
Mayor Carlos Fernando Galán revealed that households using over 22 cubic meters of water per month will face additional charges. He also warned of fines up to $300 for activities like washing cars on the streets that are considered wasteful.
