Dominican Republic faces water scarcity and real estate growth

In the Dominican Republic, the water crisis is intensifying due to the El Niño phenomenon. The National Institute of Hydraulic Resources (INDRHI) reports that national reservoir levels are at 59.20%, or approximately 1,195.14 million cubic meters. Authorities are managing these structures with caution to optimize available liquid amid a rainfall deficit. In Villa Mella, residents in sectors such as Barrio Nuevo and El Edén report being without potable water for up to a month, forcing families to purchase expensive water from tanker trucks. The National Institute of Drinking Water and Sewerage (INAPA) is seeking alternatives and urging citizens to use water rationally to mitigate the drought.

Simultaneously, the real estate sector in Punta Cana continues to expand. Grupo Cana Go has inaugurated new facilities in Downtown Punta Cana, announcing future real estate developments on its own land. Additionally, Dirava Construcciones and Constructora Lidomi have presented Nautilus Beach, a residential project in Bávaro featuring 320 apartments and 35 villas, reflecting the ongoing growth of the region's tourism and housing markets.
