Climate crisis in video – drone films water shortage: walking on Lake Garda

Date:

In the summer we showed how dramatically the record drought has affected the majestic Lake Garda. Things have not gotten any better in winter: the holiday destination, which is popular with Austrians, is struggling with enormous water shortages, the water level is approaching a historic low. Fears for the next holiday season are now mounting and plans for water rationing are being discussed. Climate change is showing its true face.

With a capacity of 50 cubic kilometers, Lake Garda is the largest water reservoir in Italy. In the summer that was also his bad luck: due to the enormous drought, the pumps were continuously pumped to irrigate and, above all, save the fields in the Po Valley. The water masses were drained through the locks of Peschiera del Garda via the tributary Mincio to the Po, which in turn is the lifeline for the entire region.
