Les mégabassines sont ces gigantesques réserves d’eau censées aider le secteur agricole à faire face au changement climatique. En réalité, celles-ci accentuent la pression sur les ressources en eau, nuisent à la biodiversité et continuent d’alimenter un modèle agro-industriel dévastateur et inadapté.
