Criza apei determină și alte țări din Europa să ia măsuri neobișnuite: Italia și Elveția transferă apă între lacuri pentru a limita efectele secetei

Italy and Switzerland have reached an unusual agreement to mitigate severe drought effects by transferring water from Lake Lugano to Lake Maggiore. This measure follows a significant drop in Lake Maggiore's water levels, which are now near historical lows. The agreement allows for increased water flow in the Tresa River, connecting the two lakes, with a temporary increase in water release. The drought is severely impacting agriculture in northern Italy, particularly rice cultivation. This water transfer is a temporary solution, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable water management amid ongoing drought conditions.
