A significant increase
The level of the Sant Antoni marsh has experienced a remarkable increase and is now around 80% of its capacity, thanks to the recent rains. In just two weeks, the Pallares reservoir has gone from 56.51% on March 22, to 76.67% this Thursday, April 4, with a total volume of 173,885 hm³.
Perspectives positives
This increase has occurred after Easter and a particularly rainy month of March in Pallars. The improvement in the level of the marsh is very encouraging, especially for the summer months, and the expectation of a more abundant snowmelt thanks to the recent snowfalls remains.
Comparison with the previous year
Comparing the figures with last year, the reservoir was at 57.85% of its capacity in April 2023, due to the lack of rain. This shows that the Sant Antoni marsh represents an exceptional case in the midst of the drought affecting other internal basins in Catalonia.
conclusion
In summary, the recent rains have had a positive impact on the level of the San Antonio Marsh, providing significant relief in the midst of the drought situation. This development is an encouraging indication of the marsh’s ability to recover and offers hope for a more promising future in terms of water supply.
