New decrease in the reservoir water level in Spain. The heat that is affecting these days to the country -And too Europa– It is being noticed in some reservoirs that, with this, They accumulate five consecutive weeks of descent. On this occasion, the water reserve has lost 809 cubic hectometers of water, the equivalent of 1.44 percentage points over its capacity level, and with it the reserve sees how its levels They fall to 72.93% counting with 40,869 cubic hectometers of water.
Thus it follows from figures published on Tuesday by the Ministry for Ecological Transitionthat updates the numbers of the reservoir water of our country every Tuesday. According to this organism, rainfall, although they have “considerably” affected the Atlantic aspect of Spain, They have been “scarce” in the Mediterranean slope. The maximum precipitation in the last seven days has occurred in Vitoria-Gasteiz, with 31.5 liters per square meter.
Despite the descent lived this week, it should be noted that Spanish reservoirs They are still in a very optimal situation compared to what was lived last year in these same heights of the year. Specifically, 12 months ago the reserve had 35,600 cubic hectometers of water and established 63.69%, so that the embalmed water is in 2025 up to nine points above these figures.
The same happens when comparing the current numbers with those of the average of the last ten years. In fact, compared to these data, the difference is even greater. Thus, the average of the last decade of this week of the year It is in 60.4% with 33,850 cubic hectometersso it should be noted that the reservation is currently up to 12 points above.
Almost all basins lose water
The general descent of the reserve is produced because almost all basins lose water. Of the total of 16 in which the peninsular territory is configured, Only one remains in the same data as last weekthat of the Eastern Cantabrian, which is established in 82.1% of its capacity. The rest, on the other hand, all see their levels descend this week.
This is the case for example of the internal basins of the the Basque Countrythat this week they record the worst fall of all basins after a decrease of up to 4.76 points of its capacity. Even with this, they are part of this week at 90.48% and the basins with the best numbers in Spain are still one more week.
After them is the Duero, at 86.6%, which also scores a pronounced decline of up to 2.12 points in just seven days. Next is the red, Odiel and Piedras, at 86%, that of the Ebro, to 85%; the aforementioned Eastern Cantabrian; Miño-Sil, at 83.6% and Western Cantabrian, to 82,% this week. After all of them are the Tagus, at 80.8% And the internal basins of Catalonia that if a year ago were in full emergency situation due to their low numbers, this year they have radically different levels and are already at 80.2%.
Below are Galicia Costa, 67.4%; Guadiana, at 67.3%; Júcar, 60.7% and Guadalquivir, 56%. One more week, The basins with the worst numbers are found In the southeast peninsular, although the truth is that Mediterranean Andalusian and Guadalete-Barbate are in an outstanding 55.5% and 51.4% respectively. Finally, with numbers much lower than the rest, the Safe Basin, in Murcia, is located this week at 30.6% and sets another week as the basin with the worst numbers of the entire peninsula.
