Switzerland is drying up, but the reservoirs of the ski resorts are full to the brim

The article discusses the growing drought crisis in Switzerland, where many regions are experiencing severe water shortages.

The contrast between general water scarcity and the apparent abundance in ski resort areas is presented as a paradox. The piece notes that while some parts of the country face critical conditions, others benefit from higher-than-average snowfall and reservoir levels. This situation underscores the uneven impact of climate change across different regions of Switzerland.
