Drought In Northern Italy: The Aridity Of The Po River.

The opening of the dams to allow the cleaning of the river Po from the accumulation of algae in the central area of Turin creates an unreal situation with the river almost completely dry. The water shortage of the Po river was not mitigated by the first weak spring rains. After a consistent period of drought, the Po river and its basin have a water flow rate of less than half the normal. Long-term forecasts do not indicate that in the short term the weather will change with persistent precipitation. Drought is not an unusual phenomenon, but the frequency with which it recurs in recent years is also becoming worrying of the impacts it has on animals, flora, and agricultural activities.
