Spain and the drought problem


Spain is slowly turning into a desert, and temperatures are constantly rising

Today I will write about the latest news about the drought problem in Spain. The Spaniards have been struggling with the drought problem for years.

Unstable weather and ever thinner soil layer make life more difficult for farmers, and it will only get worse. Recently, part of southern Spain has suffered severe droughts, lowering the water level in Murcia water reservoirs.

According to official forecasts, three-quarters of Spain will turn into a regular desert by the end of the century, and if there is no way, agriculture in the south of the country, which is one of the main sources of fruit in Europe, will not survive.

The climate change models used by the European Commission predict that by the end of the century temperatures in Spain will increase by more than 2 degrees. According to a special report announced in December 2018 by the European Court of Auditors, three quarters of Spain will cover desertification - it will be one of the countries most affected by this process.
