'The water war': how drought threatens survival of Sicily's towns
Amid Italian island's worst drought, towns such as Troina are fighting for survival as supplies run dry and tensions rise.
The residents of the small town of Troina in the heart of Sicily, struck by a long and unprecedented drought. When authorities decreed that the little water left in their dam should be shared with the villages of another province, they took action, and, on 30 November, occupied the distribution centre of the reservoir, blocking access.

Silvio Siciliano, 76, (on the right) at the old Ummuru watering hole on the outskirts of town, filling up some water containers. "We cannot use it for drinking or cooking. That's why sometimes we come here and wait in line for hours to fill up some water containers. If God made it rain more and there was an abundance of water, we would be happy to share it with other towns. But it hasn't rained here for months and it hasn't snowed for two years, which would have helped fill the dam with water."
