Taking the measure to limit the use water it was decided after the driest spring and early summer in this region for 40 years. In July, there was only 65.5% of the usual average rainfall and the level of some rivers is “unusually low”, according to the Natural Reimgs Wales (NRW), which is cited by APE-MPE.
