The Sau reservoir is already recovering water with the latest rains, as can be seen in the surroundings of the church of Sant Romà , a true point of reference to see the level of the reservoir, as can be seen in the Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia.
If at the worst moment of the drought, the flow of the Osona reservoir dropped below 10% of its level, with the latest rainfall it is already on its way to 20%, after currently standing at 15.54%.
It is true that it is still far from the 59.35% it marked just a year ago, but the River Ter flows down with a much better appearance on the way to the reservoir.
The Sau reservoir, in the municipality of Vilanova de Sau, at the foot of the Guilleries massif, belongs to the Ter river basin. It is part of a system of three swamps (along with those of Susqueda and Pasteral) that unites the counties of Osona, in the province of Barcelona, ​​and La Selva, in the province of Girona.
The reservoir, inaugurated in 1962, covered the town of Sant Romà de Sau, the remains of which, especially the bell tower of the temple, are visible when the dammed water level is low, as is still the case today.
