For the central hours of tomorrow, Tuesday, another front is expected that will leave more intense rainfall on the western facade and mountainous areas of the southern half of the basin.
On the other hand, the reservoirs of the Duero basin stored 2,235.1 cubic hectometers this Monday, 180 hmÂł more in the last week due to the rains and thaw, which represents 78.3% of their capacity, in the case of the Salamanca reservoirs, the total is at 79.8 percent with a total of 495.7 hm3 of the 621.5 maximum capacity. The Tormes system, with the Santa Teresa reservoir, is at 81.1 percent while the Ăgueda system, with Irueña and Ăgueda, is at 74.3 percent. In total, the
