Vitoria, Mar 5 (EFE).- The Ullibarri and Urrunaga reservoirs in Alava are already at 76% and 74% of their capacity, respectively, the water with which they supply Bilbao and Vitoria.
These are data from the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation.
The Añarbe dam in Gipuzkoa is at 79 percent.
The two contiguous Álava have risen slightly by two hectometres compared to their level a month ago.
Reservoirs at 76% despite a dry February
This despite having suffered a very dry February.
The small increase was due to the persistence of snow in the area of Mount Gorbea, above the reservoirs.
The frosts -20 days below zero in February in Vitoria- have allowed the snow to last and melt little by little.
Ullibarri, the main reservoir of the Zadorra system, retained this Sunday 111.8 cubic hectometres of water, 76.3% of its total capacity.
His little brother Urrunaga, which is half the size, accumulates 53.4 hectometres of water, 74.2% of its capacity.
other reservoirs
The smaller Ordunte reservoir in Burgos, which directly supplies Bilbao, is almost full, with 21 hectometres, which represents 94.8% of its capacity, which is 22.1 hectometres.
In Gipuzkoa, the largest dam, Añarbe, which supplies water to San Sebastián and several neighboring municipalities, dams 29.6 hectometres.
It is at 79.5% of its capacity, which is 37.2 hectometres. EFE
