"This decrease in rainfall during the drought that has lasted longer
than usual has a significant impact on our tanks," said Communications
Officer of the CWA, Bishek Narain. The findings to date, he says, is
that the largest reservoir of the island is well below its capacity with
filling in the last statement of the week, only 44.7% against 86% in
the same period last year. "This deficit results in enormous pressure on
the CWA, because we have to manage the stock of water over the next ten
months," said Narain Bishek. In the coming days, the water supply will
be further disrupted in areas served by the reservoir, including Forest
Side, Curepipe, Phoenix, Eau Coulée, Mesnil, Henrietta, Quinze Cantons,
Vacoas, Glen Park, Bonne Terre, but also Moka, Alma, Dagotière
Quarter-Military, among others.

Plus de Rs 60 millions seront nécessaires pour un hôtel de plage qui veut produire toute son électricité à partir de l’énergie solaire. Malgré tout, les spécialistes estiment que l’idée du Premier ministre de rendre hôtels et villas IRS autosuffisants en énergie n’est pas utopique.
Des cas de gastroentérites qui ont suivi les récentes inondations ont été mis sur le compte de la mauvaise qualité des eaux de la CWA. Cette dernière nie et parle de menaces à venir plus graves pour notre eau.
