The French leader presented the National Plan for the Conservation of Water Resources. According to the new strategy, by 2030 the country will reduce water consumption in all sectors of the economy.
The initiative is caused by the need to respond to climate change in the world. Already this summer, France is threatened by drought, forest fires and drying up of rivers. The government plans to introduce a tool that provides timely information about the drought situation.
Also, by the summer of 2023, all reporting departments will be required to submit a water saving plan to the president.
