Kosovo started rationing water in the capital Pristina and other cities in the Balkan nation as a dearth of rain and snow reduced reservoir supply levels.

Supply shortages in recent months prompted “emergency measures to provide sufficient drinking water for the population,” Pristina Mayor Shpend Ahmeti said, according to the regional water supplier’s website. Water reductions started Jan. 21 and supplies to homes were further curbed last week, water utility spokeswoman Arjeta Mjeku said, according to RTK.
