Overview

  • The drought office maintained the precautionary phase for moderate scarcity across the Lérez and Grande systems and the Baiona area.
  • Officials ordered intensified surveillance of the río Anllóns following a detected decline in its scarcity indicator, without activating new measures.
  • Supply reservoirs are at 75.9% capacity, which authorities call typical for the season, with a larger planned drawdown at Porto de Mouros due to works and wildfire water use.
  • Household consumption is not affected; the Xunta urges residents to avoid non‑essential uses and presses councils for daily consumption data, reproaching some for failing to report.
  • Technicians report modest improvement on the río Grande and anticipate rain next week, while air quality is generally good with localized advisories in A Rúa and vigilance in Xinzo.
