The Confederación Hidrográfica del Guadalquivir (CHG) has reported that this year's irrigation campaign proceeded without incident, meeting the water needs of the various irrigated zones according to the allocations authorized. Resource availability and the planning of water releases were key to guaranteeing supply to farmers.
In the General Regulation System, which covers approximately 70% of the cultivation areas, 1,102 cubic hectometers (hm³) were released between April 16 and September 30. This volume is 9% less than the maximum of 1,200 hm³ approved by the Water Release Commission.
Rainfall recorded in early October helped reduce the planned releases to meet October irrigation needs, as had been anticipated by the Standing Committee of the Water Release Commission.
As of November 9, 2026, the basin's reservoirs hold 5,471.997 hm³, representing 68.13% of their total capacity. The General Regulation System has 3,880.228 hm³, which is 68.71% of its capacity.
These figures reflect the status of the basin's water reserves after the main irrigation campaign release period and the availability of stored resources for the coming months. The CHG continues to monitor reserve levels, inflows, and weather conditions to adapt water resource management to the basin's needs.
