Volunteer and taxi driver Simon Rodriguez, 33, throws 5-liter jugs of bottled water in the trunk of a car for local residents, after seasonal rains washed down ash and sediment from a wildfire in August, making the water unsafe for cooking and drinking, in San Vicente de Leira, Galicia, Spain, November 7, 2025. As the seasonal October rains picked up, the entire vegetative layer which had turned to ash began to clog the sandtraps — known locally as areneros — that decant rainwater to prevent debris from reaching the water line, feeding the reservoir. “We can’t shower because the water is completely black. I haven’t showered in two days. We have to wait for the rain to stop before we can shower,” Rodriguez said while delivering drinking water to residents in the municipality of Villamartin de Valdeorras, who have been advised since late October to avoid using water for cooking or drinking.
