👉 The Puerto Fluid, often referred to as the Puerto Water or simply Puerto, is a vital component of the water management system in Puerto Rico, particularly significant for its role in flood control and potable water supply. This fluid is a mixture of rainwater, treated wastewater, and desalinated water that is collected and stored in reservoirs during periods of heavy rainfall. When the water levels rise, this Puerto Fluid is released through controlled channels and canals to prevent flooding in urban areas and to supply clean drinking water to communities. The system is designed to balance the demand for water with the need to mitigate the impacts of heavy precipitation events, making it a crucial element in the island's resilience against natural disasters.
