Flooded 60 years ago to form the Sau reservoir, which provides essential water supplies to the city of Barcelona, just the top of the church\u2019s three-storey tower usually pokes up above the surface. Now, the 11th-century building stands firmly on dry land and has started to attract \u2018drought tourists\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The regions of Spain worst hit by the prolonged drought are Andalusia and Catalonia &#8211; both of which are important agricultural and food-producing areas. In Catalonia, the drought has been ongoing for three years and just 17 per cent of the region\u2019s water supplies now remain. If that figure drops to 16 per cent, the government of Catalonia will have to declare a state of emergency and impose stricter restrictions on water usage for households. Water bills have already increased and water use for agriculture is restricted. Parks are no longer being watered, fountains are dry and filling private swimming pools is not allowed.<\/p>\n<p>Turning seawater into freshwater alone is unlikely to solve Spain\u2019s drought problem. It is too slow, expensive and consumes a lot of energy. Unless that energy comes from renewable sources, pollution caused by desalination will also speed up climate change which is contributing to the water shortages.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/01\/10\/drought-reveals-sunken-11th-century-church-as-spain-battles-prolonged-water-shortages\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-462\/\">Drought reveals sunken 11th century church as Spain battles prolonged water shortages<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1551,575,1102,9516],"class_list":["post-122041","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-drought","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-spain","tag-water-shortage"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122041","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=122041"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122041\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=122041"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=122041"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=122041"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
