The historical comparison puts the figure into perspective. The average for this date over the past five years is 3,752 hm³, meaning current reserves are just 15 hm³ lower. The situation also remains clearly above the period's low, recorded in 2023 at 2,907 hm³, when the reservoirs were at 37% of capacity.
LESS WATER THAN A YEAR AGO, BUT WELL ABOVE THE LOWS
The reservoirs on the right bank of the Ebro currently hold 285 hm³ of water, or 42% of their capacity. A year ago, they held 397 hm³, or 59%, while the average for the past five years stands at 316 hm³. Even so, current reserves remain above the recent low of 240 hm³ recorded in 2024.
The report from the Ebro River Basin Authority also puts potential hydroelectric energy at 1,930 GWh, equivalent to 42% of the basin's maximum capacity. Overall, the reservoirs contain less water than a year ago, but remain broadly in line with the average of the past five years and well above the lows recorded during that period.
