The shortage of rain and the low water levels are starting to affect different parts of the country, as is the case in four towns of the Southern Mountains of Seville, where water is being cut at night and pressure drops have being carried out in the supply system since July due to low levels in the aquifer that supplies this area, affecting a population of about 15,000 people.
The Spanish hydraulic reserve continues to drop and is operating at 46.5 per cent of its total capacity, with 26,003 cubic hectometres, a decrease of 823 cubic hectometres from last week, or in other words, a drop of 1.5 points, according to data from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food and the Environment (MAPAMA).
Reservoirs at the Guadalquivir basin have dropped their hydraulic standby levels by a point, meaning they are at 39.4 per cent of their total capacity --last week they were at 40.7 per cent--, whereas those belonging to the Andalusian Mediterranean Basin are situated at 40.3 per cent, nearly one point less than a week ago.
