Paradoxe d'abondance : l'Amazonie française manque d'eau potable

En Guyane française, l'extrême sécheresse de 2024 a conduit à une pénurie d'eau potable dans des villages isolés du Haut-Maroni, nécessitant des ponts aériens d'eau en bouteilles. Sur le littoral, l'eau devient impropre à la consommation à cause de l'intrusion saline, tandis que l'eau de surface à l'intérieur des terres est souvent turbide et microbiologiquement contaminée, rendant son traitement difficile et coûteux.
