'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.

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."

A special food product to reduce the risk of dehydration and fatal choking in elderly care home residents has been developed by scientists.
It consists of a one-bite-sized product coated with a membrane that easily dissolves in the mouth but is difficult to break down with fingers.
The idea was to create a product that would help seniors have easier access to water and other necessary substances
Dehydration is one of the main problems faced by many older people due to psychological, cognitive, and swallowing disorders affecting their ability to eat and drink independently.
It has been developed by a team at Lithuania’s Kaunas University of Technology known as KTU.
It is made up of 95 per cent water and enriched with vitamins D, C, B9, and B12, as well as iron, selenium, and zinc.
It means the product meets the recommended intake of minerals and vitamins for the elderly.
The product will soon be available to seniors.

'Water is more valuable than oil': the corporation cashing in on America's drought
In an unprecedented deal, a private company purchased land in a tiny Arizona town - and sold its water rights to a suburb 200 miles away. Local residents fear the agreement has 'opened Pandora's box'
Tucked into the bends of the lower Colorado River, Cibola, Arizona, is a community of about 200 people.
Nearly a decade ago, Greenstone Resource Partners LLC, a private company backed by global investors, bought almost 500 acres of agricultural land here in Cibola. In a first-of-its-kind deal, the company recently sold the water rights tied to the land to the town of Queen Creek, a suburb of Phoenix, for a $14m gross profit. More than 2,000 acre-feet of water from the Colorado River that was once used to irrigate farmland is now flowing, through a canal system, to the taps of homes more than 200 miles away.

'Levels are dropping': drought saps Zambia and Zimbabwe of hydropower
Vast human-made Lake Kariba is at near-record low, causing daily power cuts and devastating two African economies.
Lake Kariba, the world's largest human-made lake. A punishing drought has drained the huge reservoir close to record lows, raising the prospect that the Kariba Dam, which powers the economies of Zambia and Zimbabwe, may have to shut down for the first time in its 65-year history.

River in 'wettest place in England' in Lake District almost completely dry.
Experts are warning of disastrous conditions for wildlife at upper River Derwent in Borrowdale.
The upper River Derwent in Borrowdale in the Lake District - famous for its reputation as the wettest place in England - is almost completely dry, leading experts to warn of "disastrous conditions for wildlife".
This was the third year in a row where prolonged serious drought had dried out large parts of the river.
The wildlife habitats of the Derwent catchment are of national importance, designated as both a special area of conservation (SAC) and a site of special scientific interest (SSSI).

River in 'wettest place in England' in Lake District almost completely dry.
Experts are warning of disastrous conditions for wildlife at upper River Derwent in Borrowdale.
The upper River Derwent in Borrowdale in the Lake District - famous for its reputation as the wettest place in England - is almost completely dry, leading experts to warn of "disastrous conditions for wildlife".
This was the third year in a row where prolonged serious drought had dried out large parts of the river.
The wildlife habitats of the Derwent catchment are of national importance, designated as both a special area of conservation (SAC) and a site of special scientific interest (SSSI).
The River Derwent in Cumbria which has run dry in parts of the Borrowdale valley for the third consecutive year after the Lake District has experienced a long dry spell.

A precious resource: how Israel uses water to control the West Bank
In occupied West Bank villages, Israeli-owned farms are flourishing, while Palestinians often do not have enough water to drink.
Water is one of the most precious resources in Israel and the Palestinian territories. This beautiful landscape - the historic fertile crescent - can be harsh and unforgiving. But with enough water, as the Book of Isaiah says, "The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom."
Israel is the world leader in water management and technology: last year, a first-of-its-kind project began pumping desalinated seawater from the Mediterranean northwards, to replenish the shrinking Sea of Galilee.
Yet rights groups contend that these successes are to the detriment of Palestinians; Israel controls about 80% of water reserves in the West Bank, but both the West Bank and Gaza Strip face severe water stress and drought.
In theory, no one living or working in Area C, the 60% of the West Bank fully controlled by Israel, can get connected to pipelines belonging to Israel's national water company without proving ownership of the land or otherwise gaining a permit from the Israeli civil administration in the territories, known as Cogat. But in practice, access to water resources is a potent state-controlled weapon for the settlement movement, allowing Israeli-owned vineyards, olive groves, livestock farms and date plantations to flourish.

A precious resource: how Israel uses water to control the West Bank
In occupied West Bank villages, Israeli-owned farms are flourishing, while Palestinians often do not have enough water to drink.
Water is one of the most precious resources in Israel and the Palestinian territories. This beautiful landscape - the historic fertile crescent - can be harsh and unforgiving. But with enough water, as the Book of Isaiah says, "The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom."
Israel is the world leader in water management and technology: last year, a first-of-its-kind project began pumping desalinated seawater from the Mediterranean northwards, to replenish the shrinking Sea of Galilee.
Yet rights groups contend that these successes are to the detriment of Palestinians; Israel controls about 80% of water reserves in the West Bank, but both the West Bank and Gaza Strip face severe water stress and drought.
In theory, no one living or working in Area C, the 60% of the West Bank fully controlled by Israel, can get connected to pipelines belonging to Israel's national water company without proving ownership of the land or otherwise gaining a permit from the Israeli civil administration in the territories, known as Cogat. But in practice, access to water resources is a potent state-controlled weapon for the settlement movement, allowing Israeli-owned vineyards, olive groves, livestock farms and date plantations to flourish.
