Contemplating the Ter as it passes through Can Llanes de Manlleu, in Osona, was today an Iguazú Falls-style image, nothing to do with the worst days of the drought in Catalonia.

The river undoubtedly carries something more than water, good news, since in the Sau reservoir they welcome all this flow that flows down to the reservoir with open arms.

So much so that the water level of the swamp is already close to 20%, after only a few days ago it was still below 10%.

These images in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia of the river grown as it passes through Can Llanes are significant, since it is one of the factories that was installed next to the Ter at the end of the 19th century to take advantage of the power of its waters .

It was then that the irreversible industrial process that began in the 18th century was consolidated and gave rise to a powerful textile industry with the large-motor Ter.
