Answer 1

There’s serious water shortages in Spain, as well. Around 30% of Spain is already desertified, and another 20% is at risk. 1/2 the country becoming desert is a pretty big deal. Rainfall in Spain has declined over the last 2 decades, and droughts are common. Underground was well as surface sources are being depleted at a rapid rate. Many in Spain are working to confront this, to varying degrees of success.
