Iâm grateful to âbeâ in 71. Feel sorry for those who suffer hardship from this.
Lot et Garrone normal. Thats good!
As we have a well for our entire water supply, would it affect us if restrictions were imposed?
Not having had much rain for what feels like ages, Iâm amazed 34 is green, but nevertheless very pleased, as I also have a wel!
We have wells in our commune and from Iâve gleaned over the years:
Water for drinking and hygiene etc is not restricted (same as with Mains Water)
but drawing water for non-essential purposes can be restricted (washing the car, pools, gardening)
and the farmers can be similarly covered by restrictions when using water sources âin the wildâ.
After overcoming my âfearâ of running out of coins using the local power wash (not the automatic, it rips off the towing cover and all the grease 
) I washed both cars in it recently. Much better then washing at home anyway. Just as well as Dordogne is in the red zone.
Stella,
I would consider gardening for vegetables and fruits as a necessary activity in order to support a healthy nutrition, because the prices in the stores are outrageous.
Personally, I think thereâs nothing better than produce fresh from the garden.
A good system for storing rainwater, for use during dry spells, should help keep things on an even keel.
What would be handy is putting in the department numbers on the artwork, if you are going to produce something make it worthwhile.
Pfff, everyone knows their dĂ©partement and those round them, should know most of France too, isnât that part of common knowledge?!

Iâm putting up a clear explanation for us all⊠and the link is
Anyone who is still unsure if what they are doing/want to do is OK⊠check with the Mairie. They will have the finely-tuned details.
This dates from 2020 but gives some clear and useful answers (still valid) to current questionsâŠ
I reckon water shortages are going to become our way of life⊠so seriously thinking what I can to to ease my own (minor) situation⊠Storing rainwater is certainly top of my list⊠and Iâm thanking heaven I donât have a pool⊠that would take an enormous storage facility
