Water shortage in Palermo, with taps closed in some areas and fields in the province
The article discusses the tightening of water restrictions in 23 districts in Palermo and its province, with taps completely shut off for agriculture. The water crisis is becoming increasingly dire, with the water service company Amap implementing new water-saving measures affecting almost all districts. The current water supply reduction is only at 4%, but further and more substantial cuts are expected soon. The updated water restriction map is available on Open Data Sicilia, with plans for a smartphone app to provide information on water quality in the city and 47 other areas managed by the company. The article also highlights the challenges faced by local farmers due to the water scarcity, with fears of a dry summer ahead unless significant rainfall occurs. The article also mentions the prioritization of water for drinking purposes over irrigation, which may leave cultivated lands without water during the summer.
