The Drought Committee does not expand rationing; the rains, González Delgado says, buy days

On August 31, 2026, NotiCel reports, with Cybernews, that after the weekly meeting at Fortaleza the government adds no zones and does not lengthen cuts. Carlos Pesquera: Sergio Cuevas's pattern does not change; La Plata night-flow does not change. Luis R. González Delgado: the rains «nos gana días.» Jenniffer González Colón: the plan covers 10 to 13 percent of the population; no other reservoir is headed to rationing. Ernesto Rodríguez, of SNM: southern extreme drought eased, except Cabo Rojo. The JSF gives 21 more days on the emergency fund. Pesquera: FEMA «no suele intervenir de la misma manera» on drought. This note is Monday's committee report. It is not a pause. Tuesday is not moved up. Monday's committee is not rewritten as a pause. The 31st stays the 31st.

The same 31st, another note covers González Delgado on Telemundo evaluating longer periods: the AAA will evaluate extending rationing. That was the interview, not this decision. On Tuesday, González Colón announced a pause: temporary pause at Carraízo. Tuesday overtook this report. This note does not turn the 31st into that pause.

What remains is a no to new zones, a «nos gana días», 10 to 13 percent, and 21 JSF days. A reader who wants Monday's committee has the NotiCel URL at the foot. This is not original reporting.
