REACTION
It is a battle that begins in this heat wave: the battle of the water, a resource more than ever precious. The call of the mayor of Guéret, Michel Vergnier, Wednesday morning on Europe 1, illustrates it perfectly. He asks his citizens to prefer bottled water to avoid the shortage. In the department of Creuse, the water restrictions are maximum for two weeks. But the levels continue to fall. Everyone must do their part, says Michel Vergnier.
"Put 20 trucks on the road every day to fetch water, it would not be funny at all ..." "If you're used to drinking bottled water, if you can buy some, try to do it, so that you can consume less tap water and you have to go through this difficult course Every day, we look at the numbers and we compare the water supply and the consumption. Very slightly better, with the measures taken, which have been applied by the population, things are better, but to avoid unpleasant surprises and charter tankers to go even further, let's do more. put 20 trucks on the road every day to fetch water, it would not be funny at all.
