Taiwan Further Tightens Water Supply Amid Drought
Description: Since the end of February, the government of Taiwan has reduced the water supply by up to 10% for heavy industrial users that consume at least 1,000 metric tons of water each month. Households in some major cities in the north have had their water cut off for two days a week. Taiwan's total rainfall between October and March was the lowest since record keeping began in 1947.
