The sunrise today was beautiful, with the light and the fog, also the church of Sant Romà with a ray of sun between the beautiful clouds, but… The sad thing is that the water level in the Sau reservoir does not reach the 19%.
This beautiful Lombard-style church has been without water around it for a long time, while the houses of the old town further down are also exposed.
This beautiful place of Les Guilleries, surrounded by chasms, in the basin of the river Ter, Vilanova de Sau, in the region of Osona, continues to impress despite the persistent drought in Catalonia, as can be seen in Las Fotos de los Lectores de The Vanguard
The Sau reservoir 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 Selva, in the province of Girona. All of them are affected by the lack of water flow.
The reservoir, inaugurated in 1962, covered the town of Sant Romà de Sau, the remains of which, especially the temple’s bell tower, are visible when the level of the dammed water is low, such as in times of drought like the one we are experiencing this year. .
