Spain's water crisis: a bird's-eye view

Amidst deepening drought, increasing extreme temperatures and fossil-fuelled climate disasters, Spain’s precious water supply is being sucked dry by a few greedy, polluting industries — including factory farms and intensive agriculture. The devastating effects are clearly visible from above. The problem is not just the lack of rain: poor management - and especially uncontrolled irrigation - is worsening the situation in a country where 75% of the surface area is at risk of desertification. Acclaimed photographer Pedro Armestre and @Greenpeacespain capture a bird's-eye view of drought, industrial pollution and climate breakdown, covering 10 of the most pressing environmental problems in Spain — and offering solutions to them.
