The persistent drought and water shortage continue to make it difficult for Italy. The Po, the longest river in the country, now flows at water levels that are as low as last summer.
According to the State Agency for Environment and Climate Protection, the snowfields that normally prevent it from drying out in the warmer months have decreased by 75 percent. In early April, river levels reached a 30-year low.
The surrounding Alps experienced an unusually dry and warm winter. Alpine lakes are essential for the summer survival of rivers in Italy.
Lake Garda with less and less water
For example, Lake Garda is currently struggling with extremely low water levels. Compared to last year, the level has halved. According to the Comunità del Garda, the information center for the entire region of Lake Garda, it is currently around 46 centimeters.
