Czech Republic facing catastrophic drought-- the country's worst in 500 years

The dry spell and warmer temperatures also led to the bark beetle spread, which infested the nation in 2019, resulting in about 1.7 billion dollars worth of damage.

The Environment Ministry is appealing for financial assistance to fight the drought-- a move that could help harvests, such as grains and rapeseed.

Although the COVID-19 crisis is the country's most pressing issue currently, Brabec noted that climate change and drought will become the biggest problems in the following years.

"Unless there is a miracle that would bring a month-long continuous rain, we will see rivers and streams dry out and tens or hundreds of villages with no source of drinking water."
