Description
While parts of France have grappled with serious flooding, a continuing drought in the southern Pyrenees-Orientales region is becoming an ecological disaster. There has been no significant rainfall for over four months, and at the end of December, the soil is as dry as in the middle of August. The Agly river has disappeared, the Vinca dam is drying up, as is the Villeneuve-de-la-Raho lake. For farmers, the situation is catastrophic. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
