Specter of Drought Hangs Over Europe
We need like weeks of rain in the UK alone to stave off water supply fears, reminds me of the summers of the mid 1990’s.
“Persistent hot weather following months of low rainfall Wednesday raised the specter of serious drought in many parts of Europe. Authorities urged consumers to cut back on water usage and in many places imposed bans on hosepipes and sprinklers and prohibited filling swimming pools or washing cars.”
“Farmers risk going out of business, 80 million trees could die in one region alone and emergency wells are being opened on the Costa del Sol to deal with Spain’s worst drought on record, officials said on Monday.”
