"Perhaps the most striking image of Spain's drought - so severe it has forced Barcelona to ship in water - is that of an underwater church that has emerged from a drying dam.

This year, receding waters have exposed the 11th-century church completely, attracting crowds of tourists who stand gazing around it on the dusty bed of the reservoir." National Nine News

Apparently, the church was never completely covered, and the dam was built in the sixties. I wonder what the big deal is, to those crowds.

We were down to thirty days of water just a few months ago. I wondered what would happen if we depleted that.
