Madrid (EFE).- The reservoirs store even less water than last week, 0.1% less, a drop that leaves the Spanish water reserve at 47.4% of its total capacity and that reinforces the downward trend despite the rains that have irrigated the country in recent days.
According to the data provided by the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (Miteco), the rainfall that has considerably affected the entire Iberian Peninsula -with a maximum recorded in Teruel of 78.6 l/m²- has not been enough to alleviate the drought that is going through the country.
The reserve, now with 26,588 cubic hectometres (hm³) of water, has a chain of nine weeks of decline and now stores almost a thousand hm³ less than last year at this time, and more than ten thousand hm³ less than the average for the decade.
The basins that are currently the most full are those of the Cantabrian (the Western, 89%, and the Eastern, 87.7%), the internal ones of the Basque Country (81%), the Galician Coast (79.2% ), that of Miño-Sil (71.6%) and Red, Odiel and Piedras (69%).
On the contrary, those with the worst appearance are the Guadalquivir (23.9%), the Guadalete-Barbate (24.7%), the inmates of Catalonia (25.8%), the Guadiana (31.8 %) and the Andalusian Mediterranean (34.3%).
