In fact, the Civil Protection of the Generalitat activated yesterday the pre-alert of the special emergency plan for floods in Catalonia (Inuncat) due to the forecast of rain and the warning from the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation of possible sudden increases in river flows in the area of ??Tarragona and Terres de l’Ebre.
Likewise, it recommended extreme precautions, and the Servei Meteorològic de Catalunya (Meteocat) urged planning any outdoor activity taking into account the possibility of heavy rains and storms.
Furthermore, the reservoirs of the Ter-Llobregat system, which supply Barcelona and its metropolitan area and Girona and its surroundings, continue to increase their capacity and yesterday they were already close to 28%, with 27.66%, compared to 26.3% of the Friday of last week.
This is the latest update on the status of the reservoirs of the Catalan Water Agency (ACA), which shows that the reservoirs of this system have reached 169.28 cubic hectometers of water, and this increase is due to the rains recorded in Catalonia in recent days.
