France experiencing worst drought on record

France's Prime Minister, Elizabeth Borne, is asking the public to save as much water as they can, saying that France is experiencing its worst drought ever. Temperatures in the country have been extremely high during summer, with the country experiencing wildfires throughout July.July was France's driest month in more than 60 years, according to the national weather service Meteo-France. The small amount of rain has badly impacted food crops, with farmers warning that there might be less food available. According to France's Agriculture Ministry, the amount of corn crop the country produces could drop by 19%.This is a big concern for the French government, as if there is less food for people to eat, the price of food might go up as a result. This river is very low because of a lack of rainfall. The French government has now set up a crisis team to try to manage the water shortage. Trucks are now transporting water to the towns that are most in need and 93 regions in France have been asked to use less water to help the situation.
