In Spain, Barcelona declares a state of drought emergency. The region has been in water deficit for 38 months, since the fall of 2020.

It would have to rain for a month non-stop, to compensate for this lack of water, but that would mean that Barcelona would be completely flooded. The government, for its part, has released 2.7 billion euros to create new desalination and water treatment plants, but this will take time. Last option mentioned if the situation worsens: this summer boats loaded with drinking water could arrive at the port of Barcelona.
