Window in the rain in the Baells swamp

With the last rains recorded in the Alt Berguedà area, close to Cadí-Moixeró, we have seen from the window the rise in the water level in the Baells reservoir, as can be seen in these photographs in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguard.

It is a pleasure to be able to see again the water that I saw there a few years ago. Keep raising the level of the reservoir, without doing any damage.

I want to see its beautiful views again, when it did not suffer the consequences of the drought, from this perspective of Sant Jordi de Cercs.

At the time of capturing these photographs it is also raining, that is why you cannot see the mountains on the horizon. As they say on the news, the rains are more towards the afternoon.

The Baells Reservoir is a hydraulic infrastructure located on the Llobregat River. The dam is located in the municipality of Cercs.

The Baells reservoir is currently at 33% of its capacity, when last year around this time it was at 52%. And the average for the last 5 years is 95%, to give us an idea of ​​how far the drought still persists.
