Our daily newspaper already wrote this on July 21: Lake Villarest is losing 1 million cubic meters per day. And the satellite images we received confirm these facts to a large extent.
If we are not yet at the historic low water level of 2018, on Thursday July 21, the president of the EPL (Lower Public Establishment), Daniel Frechette, spoke to the community council of the Ronais agglomeration to give the figures: currently the water body has 89 million m3 When the water was 140 million m3 In June.

At Lavalette Dam, less and less water
On 13 July a fire that consumed a total of 2,000 square meters of undergrowth left areas around the Lavalette Dam in Haute-Loire inundated with drought.
The satellite images below clearly show the difference between the landscape in August 2021 and the same time this year. This summer, we completely separate the surroundings of Lignon du Vallée.

At Usson-en-Forez, the vegetation is more than yellow
When tank trucks arrive to reinforce forage in the face of water shortages, especially at Ousson-en-Forge, the whole of this sector of the Loire suffers.
The difference between August 2021 and August 2022 is obvious. The summer of 2021, which was considered “wet” despite years of drought, revealed a greener landscape than this year.
