Drought and overexploitation of aquifers dry up the last permanent lagoon in Spain’s Doñana National Park

This is the third time that the Santa Olalla lagoon has dried up since the Doñana Biological Station have records. It also happened in 1983 and 1995.
In addition to an intense dry period, the overexploitation of the aquifer by the touristic Matalascañas has aggravated the situation in Doñana.
