One by one the canals are drying up due to the low tide and the lack of rain in Venice. Due to weeks of dry winter weather, Italy is experiencing another prolonged drought, according to reports guardian.

The Italian environmental protection group, Legambiente, has drawn attention to the fact that rivers and lakes in northern Italy are experiencing severe water shortages. Italy’s longest river, the Po, currently contains 61 percent less water than normal for this time of year.

An expert from the Italian Scientific Research Institute CNR said that the water shortage in the northwest regions is so great that it will need 50 days of rain.

However, based on the latest weather forecast, forecast rain and snow may reach the Alps in the coming days.
