The Sau swamp is already at 20%

Little by little, the Sau reservoir in Osona, which only a month ago was at 8% of its capacity due to the drought, is recovering and now, after the latest rains, it is already at 20%.

The increase in the water level in the reservoir has not gone unnoticed in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia, where exhaustive photographic monitoring of the drought in this reservoir has been carried out.

As can be seen in this series of photographs, the landscape is gradually being transformed again as more areas of the reservoir are again flooded.

Another of the images that stands out is the large amount of green that has taken over the reservoir, where flowers, grass and plants are taking over the landscape, waiting for the swamp to recover the water levels of other years.

And it is that, although Sau has managed to recover to be at this 20%, the truth is that a year ago it was at 58% of its capacity. And the average of the last five years is 132%.
