3) WATER SHORTAGES BOCAS DEL TORO PANAMA
No water in Bocas del Toro; a state of emergency
Two of the islands most visited by nationals and foreigners in the province of Bocas del Toro: Isla Colón and Isla Carenero, have been without drinking water for several days, which has affected residents, tourists and businesses.
According to the authorities, everything is due to the significant decrease in rainfall that has caused the water levels of Big Creek Lake, which supplies drinking water to the population, to be in critical condition.
The panorama has been so worrying that the Cabinet Council declared a State of Environmental Emergency in both islands of the province “to promote actions that allow mitigating the effects generated by low rainfall in this area of the country.”
The declaration of a State of Environmental Emergency authorizes the Institute of National Aqueducts and Sewers (Idaan) to carry out, through the special procurement process, the contracting and acquisition of goods, works and services that are required to mitigate the effects of the current situation on these islands.
In fact, the Institute of National Aqueducts and Sewers (Idaan) announced that it has launched a contingency plan for the supply of drinking water through tanker trucks.
“Ok, I need help. I ordered 12 volt light bulbs for my navigation lights. They are BAY15D, which defines as bayonet with offset tabs 15mm and dual contacts. But it can’t be a dual function. What came was something like tail light/brake light where the base is the ground (-) and the dual contacts are two separate circuits (+).
I need to define my search criteria for same bulb with base not part of circuit and the dual contacts are + and -.
Anyone know the nomenclature for that distinction?
Thanks for the help “
