The water reserve in Spain according to ecological transition ‘today’ May 27, is 43,412 cubic hectometers, 77.5 percent of its capacity

The water reserve in Spain according to ecological transition ‘Today’ May 27, is 43,412 cubic hectometers, 77.5 percent of its capacity: In the last week, rainfall has affected the Mediterranean aspect and have been scarce in Atlantic, with the maximum registered in San Sebastián-Donostia, with 34.5 liters per square meter.

The internal basins of the Basque Country, which are 100 %, are the ones that have a higher reserve percentage, followed by those of the Western Cantabrian (93.3 %), the Duero (92.8 %), and red, Odiel and Piedras (90.4 %).

Already below 90 %appear the Ebro basins (89.6 %), Miño-Sil (88.7 %), Eastern Cantabrian (87.7 %), Tajo (85.9 %) and the internal basins of Catalonia (81.2 %).

The reservoirs of Galicia Costa (79.7 %), Guadiana (70.5 %), Júcar (63.6 %), Guadalquivir (60.5 %), the Andalusian Mediterranean basin (57.7 %) and Guadalete-Barbate (54.5 %) are also above half of their capacity (54.5 %).

On the contrary, only the Safe Basin is below of that limit, at 31.7 %, slightly above the data of the previous week.

The Spanish water reserve is 77.5% of its total capacity. The reservoirs currently store 43,412 cubic hectometers (HM³) of water, increasing in the last week in 5 cubic hectometers (0.0% of the current total capacity of the reservoirs).

The hydric reserve by areas according to ecological transition is as follows:

  1. Eastern Cantabrian is 87.7%
  2. Western Cantabrian at 93.3%
  3. Miño-Sil at 88.7%
  4. Galicia Costa at 79.7%
  5. Internal basins of the Basque Country 100%
  6. 92.8% Duero
  7. 85.9%
  8. Guadiana at 70.5%
  9. Red, Odiel and 90.4% stones
  10. Guadalete-Barbate at 54.5%
  11. Guadalquivir at 60.5%
  12. Andalusian Mediterranean Basin at 57.7%
  13. Safe at 31.7%
  14. Júcar at 63.6%
  15. Ebro at 89.6%
  16. Internal Basins of Catalonia at 81.2%

Precipitation has affected the Mediterranean aspect and have been scarce in the Atlantic aspect. The maxim has occurred in San Sebastián – Donostia with 34.5 mm (34.5 l/m²).
