Barrios de Managua afectados por el volteo térmico en laguna de Asososca
Enacal comenzó la inspección técnica al afluente y recuerda, como cada año, tomar previsiones ante cortes temporales del servicio de agua
TL;DR
- Thermal inversion has returned to the Asososca lagoon.
- This phenomenon affects the water supply for 30 to 40 neighborhoods in Managua, impacting approximately 50,000 people.
- The inversion causes the water to turn violet and increases sulfur content.
- Enacal is monitoring temperature, oxygen, and conductivity three times daily.
- Pumping is suspended for several hours until the water quality naturally improves due to sun and wind.
- Residents are advised to avoid consuming water directly from the lagoon and to use stored or alternative sources.
- When the phenomenon is intense, water service is significantly affected in about 30 neighborhoods in districts 2 and 3 of Managua.
- Water is supplied in a rationed manner through storage tanks.
