Miss Violet's Barbados — Saturday, April 11, 2026

Good morning. Miss Violet is seated, coffee in hand, ready to speak.

THE DROUGHT WATCH

A Hydrological Drought Watch has been declared for April. Groundwater is low. The authorities are asking for water conservation. Miss Violet has been asking for a national water conservation education programme since before most of you were born, and has been told variously that it is “not the right time,” “not in the budget,” and once, memorably, “people already know about water.” They do not. The evidence is the drought watch.
