In 1914 Russia decided to prohibit vodka to stop alcoholism. It was a disastrous decision

by

Exists A legend (not confirmed) that said that, when the final surrender of Nazi Germany was known in World War II, the jubilation with which it was held in the Soviet Union is counted as one of the drunkenness more epic in the history of ethyl celebrations. The myth did not stay there, since the story said the Victory Day It led to the closest to a “national alcoholic blackout”, leaving the nation Without vodka in just 24 hours. The truth is that, whether or not, it makes all the meaning of the world. They came from a prohibition that had resulted. An ancestral relationship. Counted in an extensive Report The Atlantic that the Russian inclination towards alcohol has religious and political roots. In 988, the Prince Vladimir chose orthodox Christianity in part for not prohibiting Alcohol consumption, unlike Islam. During the 16th century, Ivan the terrible established the first state taverns (the calls Kabaks) that they became Fiscal monopolies. In less than a century, a third of Russian men I was indebted With these drink houses. Already in the 18th century, Pedro the Great consolidated that institutional dependence: not only tolerated the alcoholism of his subjects, but punished wives They tried to get their husbands out of the taverns, and recruited ethyl debtors for the army. Arrived at the nineteenth century, the State obtained almost half of its income from the sale of vodka. Far from being an externality of the system, alcohol would be said that it became its collection engine. In this context, the Tsar was going to make a decision of Ajundia. Imperial abstinence. According to Timethe history of the Russian prohibition not only precedes the famous Dry American Lawbut it constitutes one of the most transcendental (and fatal) decisions of the Tsar Nicolás II. It happened in September 1914, when a few days after the death in combat of his cousin, the prince Oleg Romanovthe Tsar sent a telegram to his uncle Konstantin Konstantinovich announcing the definitive suppression of the state sale of vodka in Russia. That gesture, which apparently responded to a moral conviction and a personal loss, dismantled one of the pillars Economics of the Empire: For centuries, the State had maintained a lucrative monopoly on alcohol, generating up to a third of its income thanks to sales to the peasantry. When renouncing that source of financing just at the threshold of World War I, Nicolás not only unleashed a deep fiscal crisis, but also fragile social contract between the throne and its people. Nicolás II Catastrophic consequences. The problem was not only economic. The measure was adopted at a time when the empire tried Revict your prestige After the defeat in the Russian-Japanese war of 1905, where alcoholism among soldiers was indicated as a decisive factor of military collapse. Collective drunkenness during mobilizations and the front had been so notorious that even the Káiser Guillermo II He came to declare that in the next conflict he would win the nation that he least drank. Under that impulse, the ban seemed a strategic decision, aimed at disciplining the army and facilitating mobilization. And, indeed, Russia initially deploy troops quickly and obtain some early victories. However, the price was elevated: by suddenly depriving millions of people of their usual consumption in full war and without social compensation mechanisms, a deep resentment Between peasants, workers and soldiers, amplifying the distance between imperial power and masses. Logistic collapse The Tsar appointed the reformist Peter Bark as Minister of Finance with the difficult task of disconnecting the treasury of alcohol, but the budget vacuum became unsustainable. Given the loss of hundreds of millions of rubles, the solution was the most precarious: Print moneyaccelerating hyperinflation and eroding even more the economy of war. The fiction that national productivity had improved without vodka was sustained with falsified reports and grandiloquent statements, while citizens suffered the consequences of shortage and monetary depreciation. At the logistics level, chaos was equally shocking: the wagons that had to transport grain and supplies to the front were occupied by Aristocratic distillators That, prevented from selling within the country, tried to export their vodka to France, Japan or any port available, saturating the already weak Russian rail networks. From Tsarism to Bolshevism. Paradoxically, the prohibitionist policyborn within the Tsarist conservative regime, was one of the few who survived the tumultuous change of governments that Russia shook Between 1917 and 1924. Neither the provisional government nor Lenin’s Bolsheviks revoked the measure. The communist leader, in fact, defended it as a Ethical and ideological principlewarning that a socialism based on the sale of alcohol was a betrayal of the revolutionary ideal. During the civil war, discipline, sobriety and consumption control were seen as essential components of the new order. Of course, after Lenin’s deaththe logic of state benefit imposed once again: Stalin The monopoly reestablished of vodka (now decorated with the Hoz and the hammer), restoring the practices of the old empire under a new clothing ideological. In terms of fiscal consumption and profitability, the prohibitionist stage It was erased almost completely. Moral experiment. That’s how it ended A movement That did not go as expected, much less. Beyond its symbolism, the Russian prohibition embodies a singular case where a moral decision, taken from power, precipitated the collapse of a regime whole. Time told That, in the context of a devastating war, a broken economy and a desperate population, the elimination of one of the few social exhaust valves ended up exacerbating all the latent tensions of the system. The Zar tried to save the soul of the Russian people removing alcohol, but ended up losing the throne. Thus, the vodka veto not only marked the start of the end of The Romanovbut left a enduring lesson about the risks of moralizing governance in times of crisis. Now, that legend of the end of World War II and the greater ethyl celebration It charges all the meaning of the world, because, sometimes, drunkenness can be more … Read more

We are very close to having a “ozempic in pill.” His main competitor has developed it

by

The success of drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy either Zepbound He has unleashed a career in pharmaceutical laboratories around the world. These are based on compounds originally devised as treatments against type 2 diabetes but have devastated as weight loss formulas. Orforglipron. The American pharmaceutical has successfully overcome The third phase of your clinical trials. As the company explains, this formula is the first drug in its class to pass this test, the first oral agonist of LPG-1 receptors of a small molecule that can be consumed without restrictions on water or food consumption. GLP-1 agonist. Orforglipron, such as the semaglutida on which Ozempic and Wegovy are based, is an agonist of the peptide receptors similar to glucagon-1 (LPG-1), that is, it is based on a molecule that emulates this hormone that produces our body. LPG-1 is a peptide that is released in our body when we eat and transmits the message that we have eaten two recipients for two different purposes. On the one hand, this message transmits to the pancreas so that it begins to segregate the insulin that our body will require to metabolize the sugar consumed. Hence, this type of compound is used in patients with type 2 diabetes. The second message is transmitted to the brain, which interprets it as a feeling of satiety. Achieve The Achieve-1 trial, framed in the Achieve program, was carried out with the objective of evaluating the safety and efficacy of Orforglipron, contrasting its administration with the administration of a placebo in adults with type 2 diabetes and inappropriate glycemic control. The experiment also studied different dosages in the participants. The responsible team observed that, after 40 weeks, the average blood glucose levels They differ satisfactorily between the experimental group and the control group. The study also showed a reduction in the body mass of those who consumed the drug. “It is a pleasure to see that our last medicine (…) meets our expectations of safety and tolerability, glycemic control and weight loss, and we are waiting for additional readings of the data throughout this year,” indicated in a press release David A. Ricks, President and CEO of Lilly. The details of these clinical trials will be presented in the scientific sessions of the ADA (American Diabetes Association), as well as in a magazine in an article reviewed by pairs. Adverse effects. One of the most important purposes of clinical trials is the detection of possible adverse effects with which to evaluate whether the drug involves any important risk and if its possible adverse effects are compensated or not by their medical benefit. The side effects detected are not very different from those already found in treatments such as Ozempic. The most common adverse effects were gastrointestinal and “generally between soft and moderate in severity”: diarrhea, nausea, dyspepsia vomiting (indigestion or empacho) or constipation. Those responsible for the study indicated that no hepatic security problems were detected. A key step. Overcoming this third phase of clinical trials is a fundamental step for the arrival of the drug to pharmacies but does not imply its immediate approval. The final green light will have to give it the regulatory agencies of pharmacological products such as the US FDA or the European EMA.

Current people with AR-15 rifles preparing for a social collapse

by

People preparing For “the worst” It has long existed. The followers of this movement are call preppersand as the name implies, they are ready for the end of the world not to catch them off guard. The movement has been mutating slightly over time, there are even levels according to the wallet, since millionaires also want keep on your luxuries even in a bunker. The latest: geopolitical drift and natural catastrophes have their own survival team: the “prepared or professional citizens”. The citizen ready. As we said, in an era defined by global uncertainty (wars, pandemics and extreme climatic phenomena) a new figure has emerged in the United States: the so -called “Citizen prepared”a more structured and socially accepted kind of evolution of the traditional prepper. This current, in the marginal past, has become an increasingly visible movement, made up of civilians without paramilitary affiliations that train with the same seriousness as elite units. I told it in a report The New York Times through a scene that served as an example of the movement. In a Florida forest, ten men, including pilots, a nurse and an executive, participated in a class called Full Consender Minutemanwhere they were instructed in military techniques under the guardianship of the veteran of the Christopher Eric Roscher Air Force, who between Christian prayers and shooting practices with an AR-15, prepared them to face What he calls “The worst day of their lives.” This constant alert attitude against a possible social, economic or military crisis is no longer exclusive to conspiracy or bunker survival; Now it includes professionals, parents and common citizens seeking self -defense, tactical efficiency and community. Civil training industry. The rise of “prepared citizen” has generated a growing business and cultural ecosystem. Companies Like Barrel & Hatchet Trade Groupfounded by Roscher and his partner Tyler Burke, offer from combat training to programs on mental resilience against disasters. Your digital presence (through of YouTube, Instagram, podcast And even Online store) amplifies its scope. In parallel, creators such as Ben Spangler, former army and founder of @TacticalforgeThey popularize patrol techniques and ambush in social networks, attracting an audience that does not seek to militarize, but to understand defensive tactics. Its clientele, mostly civil and without experience in combat, consumes manuals of military instruction, buy compromise and topographic maps, and train as a team as part of a self -managed community. Here it is not about undercover militias, but about tactical knowledge networks, organized by affinity and purpose, which reflect a demilitarization of military knowledge and its transfer to the domestic sphere. Diverse expanding movement. Although many of these initiatives are born from fear of an institutional collapse or urban violence, not all are oriented towards armed self -defense in a strict sense. In this regard, there are organizations Like Protect Peacefounded by Danielle L. Campbell after the death of his assistant in a shooting in 2017, which represents a more community version of the prepared citizen. Your approach Combine training With weapons, first aid training and distribution of Naloxone in vulnerable areas, in addition to promoting radio amateur licenses to maintain communications in case of emergencies. Your mission is not to prepare to repel an invasion or resist an oppressive government, but Weave local support networks Given everyday violence. Yes, you want also, far from the apocalyptic narrativeits proposal is pragmatic and social: building community from preparation, not from isolation. Organized cooperation. The Times told In his report that what distinguishes the citizen prepared from the average owner of weapons is not arsenal, but the mentality and the sense of belonging. It is no longer just about having a rifle, but about knowing Use it with disciplinecoordinate in groups, identify risks and plan answers. The medium consisted of examples such as that of Josh EppertVice President of a construction company in Tampa, who joined the training of Barrel & Hatchet during the pandemic, not by paranoia, but by practical conviction: if he has weapons, he wants to dominate them with responsibility. Seen this way, this new profile does not aspire to become a kind of Rambo nor to fight ideological wars, but to face natural disasters or social disturbances with a minimum of competition and, perhaps, temperance. In a country where possession of weapons It has historically been a symbol of individualism, this new wave prioritizes collective learning and shared strategy. A cultural response. For the environment, the boom of the citizen prepared must be understood as a cultural response to the GUARANTEES GROUP institutional in the United States. Faced with the perception of a state unable to protect its citizens (either in front of hurricanes, pandemics, urban violence or geopolitical instability), a kind of organized self -sufficiency logic emerges that converts uncertainty into motivation. Tactical training, medical knowledge, communication practices and the cultivation of community ties are seen as insurance before a volatile future, and what was previously marginal has become more visible. Under that prism, the prepared citizen It no longer seems like a lonely with provisions in the basement, but an active member of a growing network that trains, reflects and acts, although not to unleash chaos, but to survive him.

With O3 and O4-mini, chatgpt reason better than ever. But more important than the model is that we can ask you certain questions

by

I read Alberto Romero a few days ago in his great The Algorithmic Bridge counting Three stories who shared something disturbing: they were Three people saved by doing something as simple as asking chatgpt About his symptoms. They did not use Prompts sophisticated or advanced techniques. They only described pain, discomfort, a concern. And they lived to tell. The interesting thing in the conductive thread of these three stories is not that the AI ​​was right (although he did). Is that Natalia came up with asking Chatgpt for that tension in his jaw. It is that Cooper thought about sharing his dog’s analytics. And that Flavio, with an increasing pain, will value consulting a Chatbot In addition to a doctor. The protagonist of these three stories It is not chatgpt, but that previous momentthat moment that someone thinks “What if …?” We live obsessed with what the machines are taking us away. Employment, singularity, creativity. But along the way we are losing something almost equally valuable by our own foot: The ability to imagine unplanned uses, unlikely connectionsways of use that break the instruction manual. The gap is not only between those who dominate technology and those who are not between those who can reimagine it and those who use it following established patterns. Is Like when we buy a new oven. There are those who feel patiently to read the instruction manual memorizing each official function, and those who immediately begin to tighten buttons, turn dials and create combinations that perhaps or the manufacturer conceived. Both will end up cooking, but it is the seconds who will discover that putting the grill A medium power while turning the fan, an impossible finish is achieved to achieve the official recipes. True innovation has always emerged from those who consciously ignore theoretical limitations. The good thing is that, in the same way as Talent is very democratic, This capacity does not understand credentials. A programmer senior You can get stuck by writing code with Chatgpt while a teenager discovers that asking him to simulate difficult conversations before having them. And it turns out that it works as an emotional mirror that never appeared in any manual. The stories that Alberto collects have something more in common: they occur in the medical field, where knowledge has historically been power. Where the diagnosis flows from top to bottom. Where the informative hierarchy is so rigid that it has its own uniform. However, there are Nature, Cooper and Flavio, investing the order, leading to the expert a diagnosis that they could not have formulated but that the AI ​​could detect. It is not a matter of blind faith in technology (Everyone confirmed with professionals). It is something much more subversive: a silent rearrangement of who has access to what information and at what time. While we keep wondering if the machines are going to steal our imagination, the reality is much simpler: The decisive is not what AI takes us away, but what we think about doing with it. There is the true competitive advantage of the 21st century: in that ability to see possibilities where others only see tools with predefined instructions. Natallia, Cooper and Flavio did not save their lives for having access to superior technology, but for daring to think differently. In Xataka | O4-mini is much more than another model of AI.

Tesla was a transatlantic for Wall Street. Elon Musk’s political adventure the iceberg that almost sinks with his fortune

by

Tesla has been synonymous with Innovation and success In the electric mobility sector, with an admired brand image and a privileged position in the stock market. The Apple of the automotive, Some qualified it. However, Elon Musk’s foray into American politics has triggered a series of events that have put both reputation and reputation in check The financial results of the company. Musk’s political experiment It has had consequencesdirectly affecting public perception and Tesla’s sales. The destination of Tesla and that of his CEO go hand in Your personal fortune. Tesla before Musk politicization. Before Elon Musk got involved actively in politicsTesla was considered one of the world’s great technological companies and with potential for exceed billion dollars In stock market capitalization. The company was rubbed by giants such as Apple, Microsoft and Amazon, and its Growth seemed unstoppable Thanks to the confidence of investors and the growing demand for electric vehicles. In that scenario, Musk’s personal fortune also reached record figures, exceeding the second time the roof of 300,000 million dollars. Tesla was seen as a safe bet for its investors and its founder was generously rewarded for it. Elon Musk arrived sweeping everything in politics. Elon Musk’s politics landing divided the opinions of investors among whom he thought that his positioning together with Trump (openly contrary to electric cars) would provide strategic advantages to Tesla, and those who saw the brand the brand endangered. For a while, the euphoria of the markets for the change of government gave wings to the company’s actions that marked records after day, while Musk’s fortune shot overcoming the 420,000 million dollars. The panorama changed radically after the elections and Musk’s role at the head of the Government Efficiency Department (Doge). The Tesla reputation He quickly deteriorated when the new department began applying unpopular measures and Musk became the “demolition ball” of the State, As described The Financial Times. Musk and Tesla are one. The image of Tesla is closely tied to that of Elon Musk, so when Musk’s popularity collapsed, he dragged with Tesla, plunging her into An unprecedented reputational crisis. The company sales 13% fell in the first quarter of 2025, while revenues were reduced by 9%, up to 19,335 million dollars. The net profit sank 71%, leaving only 409 million dollars. From the financial crisis of Tesla there are not even those buyers who have decided to sell their Tesla in 2025, who have seen how, due to the reputation of their CEO and the largest number of teslas put up for sale, its price is being depreciated In the second -hand market. Musk’s popularity (lost). A recent survey performed by CNBC He has revealed that 47% of respondents have a negative opinion of Tesla, while 27% maintain their positive opinion of the manufacturer. Its CEO moves in very similar percentages with 50% of negative opinions and 36% of respondents who give them their support. However, as Micah Roberts, a partner of Public Opinion Strategies, the republican pollster who carried out the study, “where Tesla is stronger is among the people with less likely to buy an electric vehicle”, so those who support the political position of their CEO, will probably never be customers of the brand. Tesla forced retirement. Before the collapse of the results and the pressures received From the Republican bench and by investors of Tesla, Elon Musk has recognized in an evening that has not dedicated enough time to the company. In the presentation of results he has promised reduce “significant“His political involvement from May to get the brand out of the problem in which he himself has put it. In a few months, Musk’s fortune has experienced the same ascent and fall as Tesla. Although the value of its actions in the company has decreased considerably, the Impact on your heritage personnel have been damping by the Spacex growth and of XAI, your AI company. If it weren’t for good performance of these companiesTesla’s debacle would have had even more serious consequences For Musk’s richness, which is currently maintained at the same levels That when everything began.

Samsung has lost a 30 -year leadership in the DRAM chip industry

by

The artificial intelligence (AI) is drastically reconfiguring the hardware supply chain. Samsung has led the DRAM chip industry for more than three decades, but the AI ​​boom has triggered something that just two or three years ago would have seemed unthinkable: Now it is SK Hynix the manufacturer of integrated memory circuits that LEADS THE HBM Chips Market so much (High Bandwidth Memory) like that of the DRAM memories. The latter are those used by most of the devices with which we are familiar, such as computers or mobile phones. However, HBM memories are those that are integrated into those hardware solutions in which it is necessary to prioritize maximum performance, such as, for example, for example, The GPUs for ia. Samsung and Sk Hynix are South Korean companies, but the third in discord, Micron Technology, is American. And, as we are about to check, already steps on Samsung. We have a new leader and their figures are objectively spectacular During the last months Samsung has led the manufacturing market for integrated dram memory circuits with an approximate 40%share, while SK Hynix defended A very worthy 29%. Behind both was Micron Technology, with 26% approximately. During the first quarter of 2025 these figures have varied in a very important way. In fact, as I have anticipated a few lines above, now the leader is SK Hynix. SK Hynix is ​​the Nvidia supplier if we stick to its GPU for ia This last company controls no less than 70% of the Integrated HBM memory market market, so its leadership in this sector is overwhelming. In fact, SK Hynix is ​​Nvidia’s supplier If we stick to their GPU for ia. Samsung has an approximate share of 28%, and Micron touchs 18%. If we deviate our gaze towards the dram memory chips the figures are much more even, although SK Hynix leads for the first time. In one of the graphs that we publish on top of these lines we can see that during the first quarter of 2025 SK Hynix it has erected as the leader of DRAM memories with a fee of 36%. Samsung now occupies the second position with 34%. And Micron Technology follows them closely with 30%. Behind them, although they do not appear in this graph, They step stronger and louder Chinese memory manufacturers Yangtze Memory Technologies Co. (YMTC) and Changxin Memory Technologies (CXMT). The second graph predicts how the HBM memories market will evolve over the next five years. SK Hynix presumably will maintain its leadership, although it will lose a part of its share due to the saturation of the hardware market for AI and the growth of competition. Samsung, meanwhile, about 25% will be stabilized market share. And finally, Micron will be the only one of these three companies that will grow up to 20% market share. These figures are just a forecast, but they allow us to get a rather accurate idea about how this semiconductor industry market will evolve.

A plug -in hybrid that wants to break the market for price, equipment and a power of “more than 535 hp”

by

2,539 registrations. That is the number of units that omoda carries in Spain at the end of the first quarter of the year 2025. A good figure if we consider the brand landed A little over a year ago in our country and that only has a car (in combustion and electricity version) for sale. The omoda 5 combustion adds the bulk of enrollments, of course, with 2,465 units sold in what we have been for the year. The figure, yes, is already a third of the 7,578 omoda 5 with combustion engine sold last year. Now, the Chinese SUV will have a companion in the concessionaires. The omoda 9 SHS is already official and has a launch price that makes it a really competitive car if they add the conditions to the buyer. Omoda 9 shs technical sheet Omoda 9 shs Body type.

Together there are “more than 535 hp,” according to the brand. electric No. price and launch Already available 39,900 euros adding the aid of the MOVES III PLAN. The arrival of the omoda flag model “The largest and most sophisticated model of the brand.” With these words the company defines its new incorporation into the fleet, a SUV of 4.77 meters long, 1.92 wide and 1.67 high that enters fully into the D-SUV market. That is, a step above the compacts and competing with a kodiaq skoda or a Mazda CX-60 by size. In its body the distinctive details of the brand are observed, as a large grill that plays with the rhombuses on the front and a coupé fall as the line progresses to its rear. Repeat the crossed light firm in the front and rear area and, in general, it feels like an omoda 5 more dynamic and elegant. In addition, add upper ranges such as the handles flush on the doors. Inside, omoda advances some upholstered nappa leather seats with electric regulation, heating, ventilation and four types of massage with three intensity levels. The rear seats have reclining support. But it is the front squares that collect the greatest technological load of the new omoda 9 SHS. The instrument picture and the infotainment system will be divided into two 12.3 -inch twin curved screens. Likewise, an Head-Up Display is added that omods figure in 50 inches. We will have a multifunction steering wheel and, although in the photos we cannot appreciate it well, the brand ensures that there are physical controls To control different car functions. We do intuite for the photos that the control of the lights does have a physical command, a function that begins to suffer the evils of “all screen”. In addition, it arrives with a Sony sound equipment with 14 speakers (two included in the headrests of the front seats) and wireless load for the mobile phone. Omoda has not confirmed what types of aid and assistance to the driver will have this omoda 9 SHS beyond enjoying a 540 ° vision camera. That is, we can expect functions such as an invisible hood to know what we have under the wheels and not damage the car on the routes outside the asphalt. You must have at least those required by the European Union. As for mechanical capacities, omoda 9 shs is a plug -in hybrid that delivers “more than 535 hp”. The company does not clarify the specific figure in this regard. We do know that it uses a 34.46 kWh capacity battery, homologating up to 145 kilometers in completely electric mode. With a 70 -liter gas tank, they ensure that it is possible to perform 1,100 kilometers without stopping to recharge or fill the tank. The battery also admits load by direct current to a maximum of 65 kW. It can go from 30 to 80% of the load in 25 minutes. What omoda calls Super Hybrid System is the combination of a combustion engine 1.5 Turbo of 143 hp that delivers its power to the front wheels. This is combined with another electric motor on the same axis and works in solidarity with two other electric motors on the rear axle to deliver those “more than 535 hp”. This structure makes the omoda 9 shs a car with total traction. As for its availability, omoda launches the plug -in hybrid SUV with a launch campaign that leaves it in 39,900 euros (adding the aids of the MOVES III PLAN). The car, they explain from the brand, you have to choose in matte gray so we take it for granted that they are the first units that will arrive in Spain. The first deliveries are expected in the second half of May. In addition, the brand emphasizes that cars have a guarantee of seven years or 150,000 kilometers and that it extends to eight years and 160,000 kilometers for the battery.

While reservoirs from all over the country reach record figures, Spain still has a black dot of the drought: Almería

by

For eighth consecutive week, Spanish reservoirs have risen again. It was to be expected: the same rains that have “bitter” vacations to many during Holy Week are now becoming good water news. For the first time in many years, Spain has exceeded the 75% barrier in reservoir water. And yet, this enthusiasm does not reach a very specific area of ​​the country: The Southeast. Where the rains do not arrive. If we see an autonomous map of the country’s water reserves, we will see all of Spain in blue (light, medium or dark). All except Murcia; That, at 36.49% of its capacity, it can only appear in colors close to orange or red. And, although Reservations have grown a lotthe safe basin is still very touched with 10 points less than the historical average. For more Inri, it cannot be said that it is a management problem (although the management of the basin has always been a controversial issue). It is something that extends, as I say, to all southeast. The province of Alicante is at 31.75%. That is to say, above the terrible data last yearbut without reaching the average of the last decade. And then there is Almeria. Almería? What happens in Almeria? That hides among the excellent data from Andalusia (60.59%) and the more than good of the Andalusian Mediterranean basins (55.54%), The province of Almería has a huge problem: its reserves are 11.16%. Slightly better than a year ago, but still below Lbetter 2024 data. Almería’s problem with water is not new. That’s true. If we look, the historical average of the last 10 years in The province is 13.13%. Very slightly above the current figures. And we talk about a place with a huge weight of water intensive industries (agriculture and tourism); one that, in addition, is suffering like nobody Desertification problems and overexploitation (and pollution) of aquifers. As They said a few weeks ago from Ecologists in Action“Seeing Llover away the ghost of drought”, but in areas like Almeria that drought has been anywhere. It is a false impression that only management can difficulty. Lose the water war. At least there are three Almeria regions in which drought not only persists, but It is completely chronified: Níjar, Sierra de los Fizodes and El Levante. And that we talk about the Spanish province that adds the greatest number of rafts of different sizes and characteristics (27,000according to the latest estimates). In 1987, “the first reports on the deterioration of the aquifers of the Dalías field were announced, the point where intensive agriculture was born.” And the problem has only increased: “Every year, Almería starts its agricultural campaign with a structural deficit of around 200 cubic hectometers.” The story is simple, too simple. Almería wanted to become the great laboratory against desertification, but has become a battle territory. A battle that little by little We are losing.
