The ancient Romanesque monastery of Sant Salvador de la Vedella, which normally is surrounded by water, is seen at the almost dry riverbed of the Llobregat river while entering the reservoir of La Baells in Cercs, Barcelona Province, Spain. Water restrictions tightened further in Catalonia due to ongoing drought that has now been for 29 months and that is related to climate change and global warming. Currently, Catalan reservoirs are at 27 percent of their capacity.
