A paddleboat lies in the mud of the Montbel's lakebed due to low waters. The Montbel resevoir in the Ariege and Aude departments is well below its normal level due to an unprecedented drought for more than one year. It usually contains 60 millions of cubic meters of fresh water. It was built in 1985 to receive fresh water from the Pyrenees mountains and is meters under its usual levels. The water is normally used for irrigation. Due to the drought, the water is now used to maintain the low water levels in the Ariege and Garonne rivers. One can easily walk on the lakebed and some plants now grow where water was before the drought. In July, rain was 88% less abundant than normal and water restrictions are in place all over France.

A man shows a flyer reading 'The Rivel's project is 110ha less of agricultural fields and 80ha more of concrete, two times more trucks and more than 15years of public works'. Opponents to the 'ZAC du Rivel' (ie Rivel's joint development zone) near Toulouse gathered in front of the Courthouse of Toulouse in support to the last farmer who refuse to sell its fields for the ZAC project. He has refused for years arguing that the fiels belong to his family since 5 generations and farmers are needed to feed people. The Courthouse of Toulouse must now decide if the farmer will be expropriated or not. Opponents to the 'ZAC' argue also than the Toulouse's region has enough malls and that a giant warehouse near the ZAC is empty for years. Toulouse. France. January 24th 2023.
