(b) Study Fig. 11, which is an article from a website about drought in Portugal. Portugal is a country at a high level of development in Europe.
Drought threatens water supply for 10 percent of Portuguese Portugal is suffering its worst drought in decades. The country received an average of 542 millimetres of precipitation in 2004, compared with an average annual precipitation of 930 millimetres between 1961 and 1990. The dry weather, which has harmed crops and caused livestock to starve, continued into 2005, with the country experiencing precipitation levels which were less than 20% of normal levels in January. The regions most at risk are those in the centre and south of the country, which rely mostly on wells instead of dams for their water. In January the Environment Minister threatened to ration water in the southern province of Algarve, if the region did not receive enough rain by the end of the year. Tourism industry officials had condemned talk of water rationing, arguing it could frighten visitors away from the Algarve, the nation’s main tourist centre. Environmentalists estimate Portugal wastes some three billion litres of water each year.
