Ceresole Lake, not a trace of water but only stones
Drought grips everything in northern Italy, the Po is dry in several points, rainfall is scarce or absent altogether in various areas and Piedmont is also suffering the most, where there is a lack of water and snow, so much so that Lake Ceresole is totally dried up.
Lake Ceresole, an artificial blue mirror of water between the mountains of the Orco valley, has been transformed into a lunar or ghostly scenario depending on the point of view: not a trace of water but only stones, on which you can walk . The bottom of the lake, which has a capacity of 35 million cubic meters of water, that is about two square kilometers, is in fact dry.
Officially there is no mention of a state of emergency, but this situation is a drama for the environment and for humans, with irregular hot-cold cycles, lack of water, increased risk of fires, suffering glaciers and animals disoriented by climatic irregularities. that upset their biorhythms and their food chain.
