Plastic garbage floats in Laguna Lake in Rizal, Philippines, on July 26, 2025. Laguna Lake exceeds its critical level of 12.50 meters due to Typhoon Wipha and the southwest monsoon, reaching 12.62 meters as of July 24. This overflow severely impacts communities, as homes are submerged and thousands are displaced. Small businesses close, daily wage earners lose income, and local markets are disrupted, causing widespread financial hardship. The lake's vulnerability is exacerbated by severe environmental degradation, particularly from plastic and water pollution. Improper waste disposal and agricultural runoff continually flush contaminants into the lake, accelerating eutrophication and siltation, which further reduces its water-holding capacity.

In 29 municipalities in Basilicata, between the provinces of Potenza and Matera, the water crisis continues to be a reality. Although summer has ended months ago, about 140,000 people grapple with extreme water shortages. The Camastra dam, which has been the main water source in the area since 1970 and has been managed since January 2024 by Acque del Sud spa, a newly formed company controlled by the Ministry of Economy, cannot respond as it has reached critical levels. The region's engineers predict it will not be able to meet demands beyond November 22. Drought is a factor, but not the only one, judging by the history of the reservoir.
