Massive drought in Italy threatens to destroy Sicilian tourism
Lake Pergusa, Sicily’s only natural lake has almost dried up due to an increasingly dramatic drought emergency in Sicily.
An extreme drought in Sicily is the worst the Italian island has seen in 20 years, and it’s so bad it’s threatening the region’s economy.
The drought in Sicily has caused the local climate to mirror that of Ethiopia, UK outlet Sky News reported, causing a state of emergency, drying up lakes, and prompting officials to implement strict water rations.
