Disruption of the water cycle in Haiti

In Haiti, the disruption of the water cycle remains a major environmental challenge, affecting biodiversity and the daily lives of the country's inhabitants. The problem has multiple causes, including the proliferation of shantytowns and the absence of a comprehensive urban development policy. Global warming is one of the main causes of this problem,[1] faced with one of the most disastrous economic, social and political situations on the planet, Haiti is unable to implement an urban development policy.[2] On the other hand, deforestation encourages natural disasters.[3] Thus, the disruption of the water cycle remains a lasting threat to the country's development.[4]
