Water for 2019 - Catalonia’s dams at record highs

The hy­dro­log­i­cal pic­ture is very dif­fer­ent this year. 2018 has been a pro­lific year for pre­cip­i­ta­tion - re­serves have dou­bled to 90%, ac­cord­ing to the Cata­lan Water Agency (ACA), vir­tu­ally guar­an­tee­ing the water re­quired for 2019. Record snow in April, rain in June, Oc­to­ber and No­vem­ber were largely the cause.
