Indeed, groundwater levels remain low in almost the entire department, with the exception of the Beauce aquifer in the south, whose level is described as moderately low by the BRGM (French Geological Survey). In the absence of significant rainfall, the situation could continue to worsen in the coming weeks, with a further drop in aquifer levels. This situation calls for maintaining particular vigilance regarding the evolution of water resources, in a context where future rains will be decisive for their recharge.
The municipality of Jouars-Pontchartrain is currently on alert and urges its residents to exercise caution in water usage. It is recommended to limit garden watering, avoid washing cars, and postpone cleaning outdoor surfaces.
For more information on water usage restrictions applied in the territory, you can consult the VigiEau platform (https://vigieau.gouv.fr/), which allows you to enter a postal address or use geolocation.
