The even bigger dry

World news from The Times and the Sunday Times :

"In Andalusia, southern Spain, an estimated 20,000 fish lie rotting next to rivers or reservoirs that have become trickles, with water levels half those of last year. Watering gardens is banned."

This is the worst drought in 60 years. half of Spain is on water rationing. Farmers are losing huge amounts of income. Portugal has accused Spain of stealing its water. What is going on here? The worst drought since 1945, that's what.
