The municipal water authority in Tegucigalpa has begun testing diesel motors for a pipeline system to transfer water from the recovering Los Laureles reservoir to the critically low La Concepción reservoir, which supplies the capital; the transfer activates when Los Laureles reaches 70% capacity.

The government is delivering 126 excavators, graders, and tractors to 81 municipalities in a first phase worth $18 million, part of a broader $178 million program to improve roads, emergency response, and drought-affected areas.

The Tegucigalpa municipal government is drilling and rehabilitating wells to address declining reservoir levels, evaluating 41 existing wells and 33 new sites with the goal of creating over 70 water sources that could each produce 80–120 gallons per minute and serve roughly 1,000 families daily.
