Sau begins to fill at a good pace

After the last rains, I captured this series of photographs for La Vanguardia's Readers' Photos this morning, when the Sau reservoir was filling at a good rate and had already cleared 10%. It's not bad at all, don't stop!

The rains have caused the Ter to flood and the Sau reservoir already went from 2% to almost 8% yesterday afternoon, with a total of 12.9 hm3, while this Thursday morning (9:00 a.m.) It already exceeded 9%.

The reservoirs of the Ter-Llobregat system, which supply Barcelona and its metropolitan area and Girona and its surroundings, have once again increased their capacity after the rains recorded these days and are at 19.60%, when last Tuesday they were at 19. %.

This is the latest update of the report on the reservoirs of the Catalan Water Agency (ACA), which shows that the reservoirs of this system currently have a volume of 117.98 cubic hectometres, although they are still below the figures of the last year (25.01% and 153.11 cubic hectometers).

The swamps are also still below the figures recorded last year, when they were at 25.15% of their capacity with 174.68 cubic hectometers of water, although there is a growing trend as a result of the rains recorded in recent days.

For reservoirs, Darnius Boadella is at 11.59% of its capacity; Susqueda at 26.32%; Baells is at 26.10%; La Llosa del Cavall, at 20.80%; Sant Ponç, at 31.24%; Foix, at 61.86%; Siurana, at 2.63%, and Riudecanyes, at 2.60%.

The status of the reservoirs of the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation (CHE), with a capacity greater than five cubic hectometers, stands at 52%, with a total of 969.5 cubic hectometers of water, above the state of the year last, when they were at 35.71% and 665.8 cubic hectometers.
