100,000 water bottles requested by the Basque College for distribution in case of need
- The Basque College has convened a crisis meeting, arguing that there has been little rain in the Northern Basque Country and that they are in drought conditions. It has 100,000 bottles of water requested to ensure drinking water to the population in case of need.

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.
The Errobi River has returned to an acceptable level, but the situation of the Urdazuri River is very complicated from the Basque College, which only supplies San Juan de Luz. Ziburu is powered by the Xoldokogain reservoir in Urruña and Azkaine by the Errobi River. They have explained this in Kazeta.
They regard the situation as worrying and call for a crisis meeting on 27 September. If sufficient water is not available for proper treatment, the College shall make drinking water bottles available to citizens.
