She had been spared so far. Tuesday, August 2, the Seine shows a water level not high enough to preserve the ecosystem. A rare phenomenon, Paris and the inner suburbs join the whole of France and go into drought vigilance. For the moment, Ile-de-France residents do not have a strict obligation to save water. They did, however, receive recommendations. In particular, it is necessary to reduce watering schedules, among other provisions.
