Bogota's Mayor introduced new water-saving initiatives due to an El Nino-induced drought affecting the city's water supply. Measures include fines for excessive water use, reduced bus washing frequency, and a city-wide water rationing system. The Chingaza Reservoir, Bogota's main water source, is critically low at 15% capacity, prompting urgent conservation efforts.
