Spain's Drought Woes: Disappearing Lakes, Ancient Monastery and Submerged Village Resurface.

Spain is facing a severe drought that has destroyed crops across 3.5 million hectares and is affecting 60% of the country's countryside. The lack of water is also impacting livestock farming, orchards, vineyards, olive oil production, and vegetable farming. Water scarcity is not just affecting farmers, but also drinking water, with some villages relying on water brought in on trucks. The drought is being exacerbated by searing temperatures that are more reminiscent of mid-July than spring, and scientists warn that human-caused global heating is making droughts and heat waves more common and more extreme.
