2006 could also be a very difficult year or even history in terms of drought.
It is with this observation that Nelly Olin began her speech related to the drought, at a press conference yesterday. In France, in recent years, the water deficit has accelerated, while the winter of 2004-2005 was dry, autumn 2005, when the rain was eagerly awaited, is just as arid and very worrying.
As a result, the Minister believes that "If heavy rains do not come by March to fill the accumulated deficit, the situation will be extremely difficult."
