Drought: despite the rain, Corrèze remains on heightened alert
The drought is continuing this autumn, and most of the Corrèze department remains on heightened alert, with restrictions on water use. Rain in recent weeks has not been enough, as around fifteen small streams still lack sufficient flow. The rain was first absorbed by vegetation badly weakened by the summer heatwaves, and little of it soaked into the soil. According to the international water organisation based in Limoges, speaking to ici Limousin, streams running dry like this in the middle of autumn had never been seen before in Corrèze.
