The persistent effects of drought
After a period that seemed promising with abundant rains, Catalonia is again in a critical situation. Some counties have enjoyed more humid conditions, while others still fight against the shortage of water.
A worrying winter for reservoirs
The recovery of the marshes, which seemed to begin with autumn rainfall, is threatened. Currently reservoirs like Sau are alarmingly low, with only 6.5% of their capacity.
Comparison between reservoirs
While the Susqueda reservoir has a more favorable state, with 40% of its capacity, it is still insufficient for the needs of the region. Experts warn that water management is complicated, as resources are limited and more rains are needed.
Rain forecast: hope or excitement?
The weather forecast indicates that rains could arrive in the coming days, a news welcome by many. However, specialists say that it would be ideal for these rains to be abundant and extended for a prolonged period.
Impact on agriculture
The drought has severely affected the agricultural sector, with fields that desperately need water. The current situation requires constant attention to ensure that water reserves are sufficient to deal with summer.
Looking to the future
With winter and spring ahead, it is crucial that the evolution of reservoirs are observed. The well -being of Catalonia and its agriculture depend on the proper management of water resources, as well as the weather conditions that are approaching.
