According to the "Guardian" reported on the 15th, the Bohe River Basin in Italy has encountered the worst drought in 70 years. Due to the serious drought, more than 100 towns in the Bohe Plain will start a quantitative water supply plan.

Public information shows that the Bohe River is the longest river in Italy, running through the northern part of the border, flowing through Turin, Piaqincha and other cities.

But in recent months, there have been no rainfall in northern Italy. The report pointed out that the winter just passed was the most arid winter in Italy in 65 years, and the rainfall was nearly 80 % less than the same period of the year.

Due to the rise in winter temperature, snow in the Alps has decreased significantly, which led to a decrease in snow flowing into the Bohe tributary; coupled with the continuous high temperature weather, the water resources of the Bohe River are threatened, the water volume has been significantly reduced, which seriously affects local agricultural activities and commercial business. Shipping.

Based on this, the Italian Water Company Federation requested 125 towns to implement a quantitative water supply plan and suspended water supply at night. It is understood that the main affected areas are Piemont regions and Lunbaidi districts. "Among the 125 towns, 100 are in Pipmont, and the other 25 are provinces in Bigmo in Lunbaidi."
