With the current drought that is overwhelming France, most departments have implemented restrictive and drastic measures concerning the use of water.
Fill the swimming pools? No. Watering your garden or green spaces? No more. On the other hand, continue to water the greens of the golf courses? It is yes, to allow them to remain open.
This exception ulcerates Eric Piolle who estimates that then “that we call sobriety, the practices of the richest are protected”.
The environmental mayor of Grenoble writes that “Such measures appear to be in total contradiction with the need to conduct an ecologically effective and socially just policy. How can we ask everyone to make significant efforts on a resource as precious as water while at the same time preserving this type of “privilege “for a few?”he wrote in a letter addressed to Bérangère Couillard, Secretary of State in charge of Ecology.
And denounce “directives from another age from your Ministry of attachment (of the Ecological Transition editor’s note)”.
Grenoble has four 18-hole golf courses within a perimeter of 30 kilometers around it.
