Pyrénées-Orientales will be officially declared at drought 'crisis' level from 10 May.
Garden swimming pools are to be banned from sale in a part of southern France over worsening water shortages.
Explaining why authorities had decided to take the step to ban sales of garden pools, he said: "It is to prevent people from being tempted to do what they are in fact not allowed to do anyway - which is to fill them. "Climate change is here and now. We need to get out of our culture of abundance. We need to show far more restraint in how we use the resources we have."dry winter aggravated the already depleted water tablesA wet March has provided a welcome partial relief to farmers by moistening soil ahead of planting but underground water levels remain dangerously low, especially around the Mediterranean. Only Brittany and Aquitaine in the south-west are in a relatively safe position.
In parts of the district, aquifer levels are so low that experts fear saline seepage from the sea, which would make tap water undrinkable. Low aquifer levels also mean a higher concentration of pollutants, which could likewise severely damage water quality.
