As is normal practice every winter, the Hydrographic Confederation of Guadiana has opened the floodgates of the Montijo dam, in Badajoz. Reducing the level of the reservoir enables conservation and maintenance works to be carried out.
The measure also reduces the flow of the Guadiana River. In this way, the reduced amount of water facilitates the manual extraction of camalote from the river.
