In Bogotá, Colombia, water rationing due to low reservoir levels caused by El Niño prompts officials to urge couples to shower together as a water-saving measure.

The city, situated in the Andes, faces severe droughts and wildfires, with reservoir levels critically low.

While some residents adapt by showering with buckets, many remain skeptical about extreme measures like foregoing bathing altogether.
