MURCIA, Spain — Water, or the lack of it, is Spain’s new battlefield.Nowhere is this more apparent than in a dispute over a 200-mile waterway. For four decades, water has been diverted from Spain’s longest river, the Tagus, via a series of aqueducts and tunnels, to the Segura River in the southeast, allowing for the extensive cultivation of fruit and vegetables.But a plan by the Spanish government to increase the flow in the Tagus, which provides water for towns and cities across western Spain and parts of Portugal, including Madrid and Lisbon, will severely restrict the amount flowing into the Segura.A backlash from farmers and politicians in the affected areas has made it a hot-button political issue ahead of local elections slated for May, and highlights the competing pressures on Spain’s water resources as climate change starts to bite.The decision by the leftist coalition government of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to reduce the flow along the artificial channel to the Segura co...
