Maps and keys to understanding what's happening with the drought in Cantabria

The article discusses the severe drought affecting Cantabria, highlighting the impact on local communities and water restrictions. The regional government (led by the PP) has approved €3 million in emergency aid for 2,309 farmers, which the PRC considers insufficient due to funding and implementation delays. Several municipalities have imposed water restrictions, including limiting pool filling, car washing, and irrigation. The severity of the drought is analyzed using data from the CSIC's Drought Monitor, showing Cantabria ranks second among autonomous communities for increased aridity, with severe drought conditions in the Saja-Nansa area. The SPEI index, which accounts for both rainfall and evaporation, indicates that while no municipality has reached extreme drought levels, several areas face significant challenges.

While it mentions the PP and PRC, it does not frame either side in a biased manner. The focus remains on factual reporting of the situation, the scientific analysis of drought, и
