إعلان حالة الطوارئ جراء الجفاف في برشلونة ومحيطها

The shadow of a dead tree is cast on the cracked ground of the Sau reservoir, which is only at 5 percent of its capacity, in Vilanova de Sau, about 100 km (62 miles) north of Barcelona, Spain, Monday, Jan. 22, 2024. Barcelona and the surrounding area of Spain's northeast Catalonia are preparing to face tighter water restrictions amid a historic drought that has shrunk reservoirs to record lows. Catalonia has recorded below-average rainfall for 40 consecutive months. Experts say that the drought is driven by climate change and that the entire Mediterranean region is forecast to heat up at a faster rate than many other regions in the coming years.
