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

A view of the lack of water in the river Po in Carmagnola near Turin. People use riverside beaches, which are usually partially submerged in water, to cool off a bit on these particularly hot days, which is cheaper than going to the swimming pools. The situation of the Po in the Torino area suffers from an extreme reduction in water flow due to drought. The very hot days and the lack of rainfall are creating increasing difficulties for farmers and ranchers. The lack of water in the Po river basin was not found mitigated by the 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.
