Europe is drying up and France is rationing drinking water

Europe is currently experiencing one of its driest and hottest summers on record, with drought conditions impacting more than half of the European Union. The environmental crisis has reached record levels in several nations, including Switzerland, Hungary, Slovenia, and Austria.

France has been particularly affected, leading authorities to implement water rationing measures. These restrictions now extend across nearly 70% of French territory as the country grapples with the severity of the ongoing water shortage.
