Deceptive truce in the water war

摘要

No-one has any doubts whatsoever that Spain narrowly missed a water catastrophe this year. The Barcelona region was high and dry at the beginning of the year. The drinking water for the megacity had to be taken there by ship. Madrid was forced to authorize an emergency water conduit from the Ebro. The material had been purchased and construction had begun when the heavens opened and it rained for several weeks, filling the virtually empty reservoirs to more than 50% of the normal water level. At present there is a kind of water truce.
