Nearly 100,000 people in France are currently affected by restrictions on access to drinking water, the office of Monique Barbut, Minister of the Environment, announced on Tuesday, October 6.
This situation results from a historic drought that has been affecting the country for several months. Despite the arrival of autumn, there are no signs of improvement, forcing authorities to implement emergency measures to ensure the drinking water supply for the populations concerned.
