@cbsnews: Hundreds of thousands of Americans in Puerto Rico are now facing scheduled 48-hour water shutoffs as the U.S. territory endures its worst drought in 120 years. Officials warn some residents could be left without running water for up to 72 hours as aging infrastructure and water shortages deepen the crisis. #puertorico #pr #water #usa

🤔 The government is not doing enough?.. why is it only Puerto Rico experiencing a water crisis and not their neighbor US territory Islands like the U.S. Virgin Islands 🇻🇮 i’m pretty sure Puerto Rico gets way more funding than these smaller islands do! 😳
