Italy is facing a severe water resource shortage due to a lack of snow in the Apennines and insufficient rainfall, particularly in Abruzzo. The region has seen up to 87.7% less rainfall in May compared to the previous year, leading to water rationing and limitations for agriculture. The situation is expected to worsen with higher temperatures and continued dryness. The Anbi observatory is calling for the implementation of the Reservoir Plan and a speedier process for infrastructure interventions to address the climate crisis. This situation is mirroring that of 2021, when the Adriatic regions experienced a suspension of irrigation services.
