Activists walk among tear gas following clashes with riot mobile gendarmes during a demonstration called by the collective "Bassines Non Merci" against the "basins" near the construction site of a new water reserve for agricultural irrigation, in Sainte-Soline, western France, on October 29, 2022. - The Sainte-Soline reserve is the second of 16 replacement reserves, at the heart of a project drawn up by a group of 400 farmers united in the Coop de l'eau, to "reduce summer withdrawals by 70%", in this region which is still experiencing irrigation restrictions after an extraordinary summer drought. Opponents denounce "megabasins" reserved for large cereal farms geared towards export and defend the implementation of other measures to better share and preserve water - agroecology, change of crops, return to grasslands, etc. (Photo by pascal lachenaud / AFP)
