Hot summer in Panama
The Panama water crisis refers to the chronic shortage of safe drinking water in Panama City and other parts of the country. The problem is exacerbated by rapid urbanization, poor infrastructure, and climate change, leading to water scarcity, pollution, and infrastructure failure. As a result, many people in Panama are forced to rely on unsafe sources of water or to pay high prices for bottled water. The government has implemented various measures to address the crisis, including water rationing and infrastructure improvements, but the problem remains a significant challenge for the country.
