Măsură disperată împotriva secetei, Ungaria își irigă culturile cu apa din iazuri, după recoltarea peștilor • Newsweek România

Hungary is resorting to unconventional methods to combat extreme drought by irrigating crops with water from fish ponds after harvesting. The national water authority collaborates with fish farms to redirect remaining water to drought-affected agricultural lands. This summer's drought has led to record low river levels, impacting transportation and a nuclear power plant. The government announced a new strategy focusing on natural water retention methods to mitigate future drought damage. Farmers and national park representatives are advocating for access to water, and the aquaculture organization plans to expand the program nationwide. Although recent rains have alleviated the drought, the urgency of water management remains acknowledged by officials.
