Italy braces for severe summer drought, expert warns
Italy's drought czar Nicola Dell'Acqua warned that the situation of water reservoirs in southern Italy and on the islands would be particularly difficult this summer, CE Report quotes ANSA.
Dell'Acqua, who was appointed national drought commissioner by the government in May 2023 to oversee work to tackle the country's worst drought in 70 years, said he has a "pessimistic vision".
"The South and the islands have in terms of reservoirs a situation that is worst than last year, next summer will be particularly hard", he noted.
