France is facing water restrictions on nearly 70% of its territory due to a drought worsened by persistent heat waves.
Currently, nearly 70% of France is under water restriction measures, according to information released by the government. This situation is due to a drought that has intensified, exacerbated by repeated heat waves over the past three months.
The government has reported that the supply of drinking water is under strain, indicating concerning conditions for the country's water resources. These restrictions affect many uses, having a direct impact on water management across the territory.
A crisis meeting is scheduled for Wednesday to discuss measures in response to this drought situation. Authorities are seeking to coordinate efforts to manage water supply and assess the evolution of climatic conditions.
