Drought in France: a long-awaited “water plan”, in the midst of a challenge to the pension reform

Drought in France a long awaited water plan in the midst

Emmanuel Macron is going, this Thursday, March 30, to the Hautes-Alpes (south-eastern France). In Savines-le-Lac, on the shores of the artificial lake of Serre-Ponçon, the Head of State will present at midday his long-awaited “water plan” announced after a scorching summer of 2022 marked by droughts and a dry winter which emptied the water tables. In the midst of a protest against the pension reform, the French president is making his first outing from Paris in two months. But Emmanuel Macron’s trip will be express and without a priori contact with the population.
