Farmers struggle as Malaga reservoir dries up

Spain is feeling the effects of drought on its agricultural industry. The Vinuela reservoir - one of the largest reservoirs in southern Spain - is operating at only 12 per cent capacity. Ecologists blame poor farming and lack of planning by the authorities.
From dry and cracked reservoirs in Spain to falling water levels on major arteries like the Danube, the Rhine and the Po, an unprecedented drought is afflicting nearly half of Europe. It is damaging farm economies, forcing water restrictions, causing wildfires and threatening aquatic species.
