Watch as they empty the Sau swamp

In Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia we can see how the Sau reservoir continues to lose water, while the second tower of the old mill has already been exposed.

In this photographic report you can see images of the current state of the reservoir, with the ruins of the old town of Sant Romà clearly visible and with the desert landscape around the little water that remains in the dam.

The reservoir, inaugurated in 1962, covered the town of Sant Romà de Sau, the remains of which, especially the church bell tower, are visible when the dammed water level is low.

This reservoir is part of a system of three swamps (along with those of Susqueda and Pasteral) that unites the counties of Osona, in the province of Barcelona, ​​and La Selva, in the province of Girona.
