Drought hits the Sau reservoir, in pictures

Sau continues to empty. For several months now, the water level of the famous Catalan swamp has been getting lower and lower and this, added to the Government's decision to transfer its water to Susqueda due to the exceptional phase due to drought, has meant that Sau is at low levels. .

According to the latest update from the Agència Catalana de l'Aigua (ACA), the reservoir located in the Osona region, in Barcelona, ​​has dropped to 6.6% of its capacity, down from the 61.3% it had a year ago . The situation is critical, something that can be verified in the most recent photographs of the area.

This Tuesday it has been announced that the region of Barcelona and Girona, which are supplied mainly by the dwindling resources of the Ter and Llobregat, will enter the emergency phase, if it does not rain, in September, according to the new forecasts of the Agència Catalan of l'Aigua.
