EXTREMADURA (SPAIN), Aug. 17 (Xinhua) -- Spain continues to suffer from one of the hottest and driest summers on record, after the highest temperatures ever recorded in July.
Lack of rain has left water volumes in its reservoirs at less than 40 percent of their storage capacities -- 20 percent below the average level for this time of the year.
At the Cijara reservoir in Extremadura, a once submerged bridge has re-emerged after the reservoir dried up.
