Spanish reservoir water reserve decline

Overview

Water reserves across Spain have shown a significant downward trend during the summer months. In late August, specific regions faced acute shortages, with the Riaño reservoir in León at 47% capacity and Barrios de Luna below 33%. Navarra also reported critical levels, with total reserves at 46.32%, marking one of the lowest levels in the country and falling below the ten-year average.

National data indicates that total Spanish reservoir reserves reached 64.9% capacity, representing a decline of 12.2 percentage points since the start of July. While some basins, such as those in Catalonia and the Basque Country, maintained levels above 70%, others faced lower availability, including the Mediterranean basin at 58.2% and the Tajo basin's Entrepeñas and Buendía reservoirs at 53.69%.
