“It is a place that we know very well, because for five years, we have been coming there often. But we had never seen this lake so low“. Fanny, from Manage/Silly, photographed Lake Naussac, in Lozère (France) from the same point of view as during a previous visit five years ago. The dryness appears there crudely. Before and after: the Belgian holidaymaker shared these two photos on her Facebook page.
And this is not the only point of the territory that lacks water visibly. “We have also been on the Lot, the level of which is also very low. Farmers pump heavily into rivers to water their crops.”
The Serre-Ponçon lake 13 meters below
The holidays are also an opportunity to put images on the drought that affects France for Henri, from Peruwelz. “We spend our family holidays around the lake of Serre-Ponçon, in the Hautes-Alpes. The lake level is thirteen meters lower than normal. It changes images that I keep from my childhood. In places, there are hundreds of meters of mud between the shore and the edge of the water. I have never seen that.“
