Málaga, Spain
Much of Spain is naturally dry, but the country is experiencing its driest conditions in over 1,000 years, according to recent research. This has severely affected agriculture, and several of Spain’s water reservoirs have reached critically low levels this year, Reuters reported.
Málaga, which is in the south of Spain, is a growing tourist destination drawing crowds with its beautiful beaches. But as of last month, Viñuela reservoir—the area’s largest—was at only 11% capacity. Growing crowds risk competing with locals for that shrinking pool of potable water.
