Spanish farmers' salads and watermelons fill the shelves of European supermarkets in winter and summer, but this may not be the case for much longer. The tap that turned the arid semi-desert of southeastern Spain into Europe's "market garden" may be about to be turned off, threatening the intensive farms that feed much of the continent. The crops are irrigated by huge transfers of water from the River Tagus, which lies hundreds of kilometers to the north. But with climate change hitting Spain hard, and three-quarters of the country at risk of desertification, the government has decided to limit the flow of the dwindling waters of the Tagus to the southeastern Levante.
