why the recent rains are not enough?

Floods in Italy, drought in France. Two distinct phenomena, and yet the two are linked. “THE global warming does not mean the beautiful time, but rather the occurrence of extreme phenomena”emphasizes Jean-Christophe Battery. With one more degree, it is “7% more water vapor in the atmosphere, and also more ice melting. As long as there is no cooling of this water evaporated, it’s the droughtse”continues the journalist.

The rains fall on the emerging vegetation.

THE alternations of sedearfollow upand of intense rains aggravate the consequences of these exceptional rains. Iwater poured in large quantities in a very short time on parched soils promotes runoff. “Water does not penetrate not, She accumulates on the plain or overflows the rivers”, emphasizes Jean-Christophe Battery. VSThis water only slightly recharges groundwater reserves. “Ithe rains of spring, like those of recent weeks in France, are captured by the vegetation in full recovery”concludes the journalist.
