Drought warning, the Po is dry. The worst lean of the last thirty years: fish deaths and agriculture at risk

ROMA – The Po is thin. How come in the last thirty years. Two months of absence of rainfall have already caused damage to the habitat and herald problems for agriculture in the mild season: no rain and little snow on the mountains mean rivers, lakes and dams with low water flow.

The District Authority of the Po River, with the bulletin made public on February 15, highlighted that the current winter is the one that records the least amount of snow in the last 20 years, contributing to causing “a hydrological gap of historical significance “.
