Positive Trends in Reservoir Levels for Trinidad and Tobago

As of November 28, 2024, reservoir levels in Trinidad and Tobago have risen, surpassing 50% capacity for all four main reservoirs, with the Arena reservoir at 57.99%, Hollis at 71.09%, Navet at 55.56%, and Hillsborough at full capacity.

Reservoir levels in Trinidad and Tobago are witnessing a positive upward trend, with all four major reservoirs exceeding the halfway mark relative to their Long Term Averages (LTA). According to a report by the Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) on November 28, the Arena reservoir has reached a capacity of 57.99% (108.45 feet), compared to 55.79% (107.75 feet) a week prior. Similarly, the Hollis reservoir has increased to 71.09% (612.6 feet) from last week’s 65.66% (611.1 feet). Meanwhile, the Navet reservoir in South Trinidad is currently at 55.56% (300.0 feet), up from 49.63% (298.1 feet) last week, while the Hillsborough reservoir in Tobago is at full capacity, measuring 870 feet.

The reservoir levels in Trinidad and Tobago are significant indicators of the regions’ water supply status. The Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) regularly monitors these levels to ensure sufficient water for domestic, agricultural, and industrial use. The Long Term Average serves as a benchmark for assessing current levels, allowing for timely interventions during drought conditions.

In summary, the latest figures released by WASA indicate a healthy increase in the water levels of the major reservoirs across Trinidad and Tobago, surpassing the halfway point of their respective Long Term Averages. This improvement also reflects a positive trend in water resource management in the region.
