France's historic drought has strained the drinking water supply for about 1 million people, and over 8.3 million people need emergency measures such as bottled water and water delivery by tankers to guarantee the water supply. The rainfall in September was 70% less than the year-round average. Extreme droughts have forced record cuts in nuclear power generation and a decline in crop production. The water supply is likely to continue until 2027.
