Although there is still the chance of spring rains easing the situation before summer, the water reserves in Spain remain worryingly low.
According to the latest weekly Hydrological Bulletin, the Spanish hydraulic reserve stands at 51.2% of its total capacity (55,987 hm³), compared to 47.8% the previous year and 67% of the average for the last decade.
The reservoirs currently store 28,665 hm³ of water, decreasing in the last week by 224 hm³ (0.4% of the current total capacity of the reservoirs).
The average level of reserves on the Atlantic slope is 50.7%, where the situation in the Guadalquivir basin stands out, with 25.6%. In the basins of the Mediterranean slope, this level stands at 52.8%.
