Europe is preparing for a hot summer and water shortages. High temperatures could be recorded across the continent, experts warn.
Some parts of Germany say they will be forced to conserve water as a hot summer is expected. On Wednesday, June 14, Spiegel reported.
In particular, the Altmark and Salzland districts have already introduced restrictions on watering from wells and wells during daylight hours of gardens and lawns, water use for sports infrastructure. Saxony-Anhalt plans to introduce restrictions in the near future.
In the city of Emmerich, in North Rhine-Westphalia, they say they have reached the limit. There, authorities asked local residents to refrain from watering gardens, filling swimming pools and washing cars themselves.
Berlin also did not exclude that the capital needs to save money, but so far they have not started to introduce any restrictions.
The newspaper recalls that the German Federal Government approved in March of this year the National Strategy for the Use of Water Resources, whose objective is to ensure the supply of drinking water for the needs of the population and business and to protect water in soil and ecosystems. So, Germany wants to adapt to climate change.
It can be recalled that in July last year, Italy suffered the worst drought in 70 years and declared a state of emergency in the areas adjacent to the Po River.
Another record. Europe is facing a heat wave
