Italy has the worst drought in 70 years. State of emergency declared in five regions
The Po River, Italy’s largest river in terms of catchment area and length, continues to dry up. The lack of water is destroying farmers’ crops. This is reported by the BBC.
The current drought in northern Italy is called the worst in the last 70 years. It is caused by a lack of rain in spring and summer, snow in winter and high summer temperatures.
For Italians, it’s another reminder of the alarming effects of climate change – like last week’s glacier collapse in the Dolomites, which killed 11 people because of the heat.
In early July, a drought emergency was declared in five regions in northern Italy. Water rationing was introduced in dozens of municipalities.
