Praying for rain! Axarquia water stocks now 18pc lower
AXARQUIA local authorities will be praying for rain this winter. Despite some rainfall this week, reservoirs in Malaga Province which provide water for the Axarquia region are just 62.2 per cent full compared to almost 80 per cent this time last year. Now with signs of
increasingly autumnal weather, thoughts among the powers-thatbe are beginning to focus on reservoir levels, especially as figures just released show that Malaga Province had the fourth driest farming year (September 1 to August 31) for 70 years. As a result many wells - including in the Antequera district - are
running so low that health departments have ruled some water supplies unfit for human consumption, with water tankers now supplying local residents. Present reservoir water stocks in Malaga Province stand at 390hm3 (cubic hectometres), with the total held at the same time last year 497hm3.
