Reservoir Water Reserves Hit 20 Year High

Water levels at all the main reservoirs in Andalucia have been significantly boosted by the recent storms and torrential rain. La Vinuela reservoir is now at it’s highest level since 2005. This reservoir supplies water to 14 towns and 220,000 people in the Axarquia area. Today the amount of water is at 84.24% of capacity. Just two years ago the reserves were as low at 7% and the reservoir was unable to supply any water to the local population.

Water leves at other local reservoirs are also in a good position. La Concepcion supplies most of the Costa Del Sol’s main towns, today it’s water levels are at 79.03%.of capacity. The Embalse Conde De Guadalhorce which supplies Malaga city has increased to 98.48%.
