Water Village mobilization opposes megabasins in Poitou

← Back to Dashboard
📅 19 July 2024 📍 France

A temporary Water Village and several days of actions in Vienne and Deux-Sèvres opposed agricultural mega-reservoirs and called for more equitable water sharing. Organizers described the basins as concentrating water access and public investment in an intensive agricultural model. Local farmers and authorities defended storage as protection against drought. The mobilization included workshops and actions designed to broaden debate beyond a single confrontation, while continuing the movement’s dispute over water as a common resource.
