Rice Harvest - Seville

A flock of hundreds of flamingos fly over the rice fields in the Guadalquivir marshes. October 22, 2024, in Seville, Andalusia, Spain. Rice farmers in the Guadalquivir marshes have started harvesting this week after allowing a few days for the grain to dry out after the first autumn rains. Last year nothing could be sown and the year before only 30% of the available hectares due to lack of water. This year has been different, the May rains helped the rice growers to sow 68% of the available area. This sowing was possible after learning that the Commission of the Guadalquivir Hydrographic Confederation (CHG) granted them an endowment of two thirds of the total maximum water they can obtain, that is, 264 cubic hectometers.

Drought In Spain

Animals in the Sau reservoir, on November 20, 2023, in Vilanova de Sau, Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain). The Catalan internal hydrographic basins have been in the exceptional drought phase for eight months. The low levels of the reservoirs, at 18.85% of their capacity, and the low possibility of rain in the coming weeks, have led the Government to approve a new package of measures to control consumption. The Metropolitan Area of Barcelona will be one of the first to face a new framework of restrictions that would extend beyond December the entry into the most severe phase, the emergency phase.
