France starts the inter -crisis group to cope with drought

On August 5th local time, in response to the current severe drought in France, French Prime Minister Bolne launched a ministerial crisis group and is expected to hold a meeting within 5 days to discuss countermeasures. The French Prime Minister's Palace believes that the current drought in France is the most serious in history, and it may further intensify in the next 15 days.

This drought has led to several villages and towns, and at the same time, it brought a serious blow to French agriculture, ecosystems and biodiversity.

For this drought, France has taken water use restrictions in many places to ensure the supply of drinking water. According to the statistics of French media, a total of 93 provinces in France have reached the drought level of "restricting water", and 62 of them have reached the highest "crisis" level. The French government believes that the reason for this drought is mainly due to the rains this year, and the recent three heat waves have exacerbated the evaporation of the surface water and enlarged the impact of the disaster.

According to the French National Meteorological Administration's forecast, France will encounter the fourth heat wave next week. France is expected to rise from the 7th and reach the highest temperature between the 10th and 12th, and the maximum temperature will be between 35 degrees Celsius and 40 degrees Celsius. The heat waves this time will be mainly concentrated in southern and western France. As the heat wave strikes, France's drought may further intensify. (Jiang Hua, a reporter from the General Taiwan)
