TL;DR Summary

A small town in southern Spain is relying on truck deliveries for drinking water as drought has exhausted the nearby reservoir and the water from another dam has been deemed unsafe for consumption. Although Spain's reservoirs are on average at 50% of their capacity, levels have fallen to approximately 25% in Andalusia and the northeastern region of Catalonia. The town's residents can receive up to five litres per day from a truck that drives through the affected villages. The unseasonably hot weather has also increased the risk of wildfires in Portugal and France.
