Spain's Drought Crisis Reveals Hidden Village and Threatens Historic Sites.

TL;DR Summary
An 11th-century village that disappeared underwater in 1963 has resurfaced amid a historic drought in Spain. Catalan officials are dealing with one of "the worst droughts in 50 years," and a drought emergency will likely be declared in September unless there is a substantial amount of rainfall in the area in the coming months. To conserve water, authorities successfully moved some 13 cubic hectometers of water from Catalonia’s Sau reservoir to storage in recent weeks.
