The Swedish authorities have set up businesses today and 1.5 million inhabitants of Stockholm province to reduce tap water consumption due to the reduction of water reserves caused by extremely high temperatures at an unusually hot summer, with temperatures.
The Swedish capital’s state -owned water company, Stockholm Vatten Och Avfall, announced that high temperatures on Lake Malaren – a source of drinking water for two million people – have reduced the amount of tap water that the area can produce.
“The extremely hot water temperature in Lake Malaren disturbs water treatment plants, leading to reduced production. To ensure adequate supply, all residents and businesses are called upon to reduce drinking water consumption, “the company said. “Every drop counts,” he said.
Other parts of the country, especially the island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea, face occasional water supply problems, but such alerts are rare in the Stockholm area.
“This weekend and next week, many residents of Stockholm will return from vacation before returning to their jobs and school. We know from our experience that there is a lot of water consumption during this time, “said Stockholm Vatten Och Avfall.
Consequently, the authorities recommended residents not to water lawn, not to fill pools, not wash their cars or let the water run unnecessarily. They also recommend that the washing machines and dishes only work when they are full and have a shower quickly instead of a bath.
Known for its coolest climate, Sweden was hit by extremely high temperatures in July, including one heat in the second half of the month, with temperatures approaching 30 ° C to Kleissi. Researchers reported yesterday in a report published by the World Weather Attribution (WWA) scientific network that the heatwave, which also hit Norway and Finland, was a consequence of global warming.
July was the warmest month for 100 years in areas of Sweden, with the northern part of the country being more affected.
The capital of Norway, Oslo, also finds it difficult to fill its tanks due to the lowest of normal rainfall this year and has asked residents from the end of July to voluntarily limit water consumption, a spokesman for the city’s water authority said.
In Litornio, Finland, near the village of Santa Claus in Rovaniemi, maximum temperatures remained above 25 ° C for 26 consecutive days.
