Drought In Catalonia
The Sau Reservoir, near Barcelona, experiences a sudden recovery in just a few days due to recent heavy rains, reaching 50% of its capacity. Just weeks ago, it is nearly dry, symbolizing the severe drought affecting the Iberian Peninsula. The extreme drop in water levels exposes the old village of Sant Roma and its church, a striking image of the water crisis. Now, the rising waters partially submerge these historic ruins once again.
