DANA has recharged the reservoirs of the Júcar basin with 207 billion cubic liters, an unprecedented volume in such a short time and which is usually measured in hectometers (207) when used in the agricultural field for irrigators. Overall, this hydrographic district has. reached 47.6% of its storage capacity, with 1,355 hm3, above the average of the last decade, which is 41.5% and 1,181 hm3. In addition, this increase in water reserves represents almost a quarter of the total of all of Spain (907 hectometers) in the last week. The updated official data from the ministry on the embalses.net portal reveal, in more detail, that the Benagéber marshes. , Contreras and All-La Ribera concentrated the greatest growth in reserves, with 39, 37 and 33 cubic hectometers respectively, followed by Arenos (17) and María Cristina (16). a waterspout four times greater than the Ebro, the largest river in Spain Standard José Luis Fernández Yes The alert system The Hydrographic Confederation admitted in January 2023 the need to modify the protocol Isabel MirandaThis notable recharge is a consequence of record torrential rains, with records that exceeded 600 liters per square meter in Turís and other exceptional figures in several municipalities of the metropolitan area and the interior of the province of Alicante. With these precipitations, the disaster broke out on October 29 in the afternoon and in channels like the Poyo ravine a flow of 2,283 cubic meters per second was circulating, which is equivalent to four times the Ebro, the most great river of Spain, and a flow of eight hectometers per hour. It can also be compared – to have another quantitative reference – to transfers. from Tagus to Segura in a whole year.
