Over the 1991-2020 period, the
average annual rainfall over Italy is close to 255 billion cubic
metres, about 18% less than the national average indicated in
1970 by the last National Water Conference, 300 billion cubic
metres, said ANBI, the national association of basin consortia,
on Friday.
Italy is enduring its worst drought in 70 years and there is
talk of water rationing.
Human-caused climate change has been blamed for the lack of
rain.
