Vitoria (EFE).- The Ullibarri and Urrunaga reservoirs in Alava, which supply water to Bilbao and Vitoria, are at 77% and 74% of their capacity, respectively.
These are the data from the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation, while the Gipuzkoan Añarbe is at 81 percent.
The Álava reservoirs have even risen a bit -one Ullibari hectometre and half Urrunaga- compared to their level a month ago, despite having suffered a very dry March.
The reservoirs hold on despite the drought
The drought of the last two months -February was also dry- has meant that the levels are below the usual average for these dates -84 percent-.
Even with current levels, the water supply is guaranteed.
Ullibarri, the main reservoir of the Zadorra system, retained this Sunday 112.9 cubic hectometres of water, 77.1% of its total capacity.

His little brother Urrunaga, which is half the size, accumulates 53.8 hectares of water, 74.7% of its capacity.
The smaller Ordunte reservoir in Burgos, which directly supplies Bilbao, is almost full, with 21 hectometres.
It represents 95% of its capacity, which is 22.1 hectometres.
The Añarbe dam also rises slightly
In Gipuzkoa, the largest dam, Añarbe, which supplies water to San Sebastián and several neighboring municipalities, is at 81.7% of its capacity, which is 37.2 hectometres.
They are two points more than a month ago. EFE
