COThe small city of Facatativá, located near Bogotá, is facing a severe water shortage crisis, with officials warning that if it does not rain within 15–20 days, the municipality will run out of water. The mayor has taken several measures, including drilling five deep wells, closing car washes using potable water, and appealing to residents to conserve water.
