Why it matters
The project addresses severe water supply issues in Matanzas, where official statistics show over 240,000 residents are affected. However, the National Institute of Hydraulic Resources reports that 87% of the water supply system relies on the national electric system, highlighting the systemic nature of the energy and water scarcity in Cuba.
