According to data from the Guadalquivir Hydrographic Confederation (CHG), the Iznájar reservoir recorded 80.6% of its capacity last Monday, storing 742 hectometers of water. This volume is significant, considering that the city of Córdoba consumes approximately 20 hectometers per year. The total capacity of the reservoir is 920 hectometers.

This achievement follows a period of intense rainfall in January and February, which has allowed for a remarkable recovery. In early February 2026, the reservoir barely reached 30% of its capacity, highlighting the rapid filling in just two months. The sheer size of Iznájar and its extensive basin contribute to a gradual filling, not by flash floods.

The current situation of the Iznájar reservoir is crucial, as it supports the irrigation of 80,000 hectares and the water supply for 200,000 people in the south of the province of Córdoba. Another important reservoir in the province, La Breña II, is also in a favorable situation, reaching 81% of its capacity, with 667 hectometers of water stored out of a total of 823.

Collectively, the reservoirs in the province of Córdoba have reached 88.6% of their total capacity, which is considered technically full. Currently, they retain 2,940 hectometers of water out of a total capacity of 3,320 hectometers. This leaves a margin of 380 hectometers for this spring, meaning any additional rainfall will flow into the streams and rivers of the province.
