Spain Struggling With 3-Year Drought

Spain has been experiencing drought conditions for three years. Some reservoirs, with dry, cracked land, look more like a desert than areas meant for holding water. Three years of drought conditions are having economic effects on Spain, as well. Leisure and tourism industries, like watersports, have taken a major hit, as has agriculture. Meteorologists in Spain are predicting another hot, dry summer, increasing the possibility of wildfires.

but despite the drought, it’s amazing to see these buildings that were once lost underwater, to see them emerge. fascinating really

I am from Spain, and this is really happening where I am from, the river through my town, is LOW.. very LOW. Its getting kinda bad.

Those endless deserts in the Mad Max movies make a lot more sense now…

Sometimes it's Spain but without the S.

As someone from California, drought won’t last long. A mega storm should be coming 😊

[biancamunoz]

If only we could send rain from California to Spain 😅 it been raining for weeks now

Time for regenerative practice. To help 🌎

They need to be digging the reservoirs deeper, to help reduce evaporation. This is the perfect opportunity to do that.

But its Spain crazy to thing of

I live in Next to a massive Full to bursting with water.

Funny how poor land management and bad decision making has meant no water in our reservoirs.... Makes you think it was done on purpose.... You know.... To drive up water prices and make everything more But hey.... That would be a conspiracy theory.

Oh and don't forget we had record snow fall in the And it was just wasted.

Hopefully they have an abundance of water and resources as Well

[gonzolonzo]

Okay I'm not religious, but like idk a great flood kinda seems possible considering how low the water is now and where the water was when they erected these sites

[osok]

Overpopulated countries will have same problems. It’s not climate change.

[enriquesaez]

There was no Catalonian government in the 60s.

[bullyhomestead]

Just like we did in California

But now we’re on constant flood watch because we got all of our water back.

Spain is not even landlocked like Colorado is.
