A band of them floods and alterations in mobility, The country of DANA for Catalonia has meant a considerable increase in the water reserves of embassamentsespecially to Camp de Tarragona, on the dryer has set the cultius limit I have been controlling the supply to some towns in the area.
The plugs of the darreres have given themselves a breath pagesosbut let them know that the solution was long gone structural solutions to the lack of water, with the use of regenerated water from the Reus Residual Water Treatment Plant (WWTP), as well as the defense of the Pagesos Union.
“It’s a respite for the poor but not for agriculture because we can’t use the pantà water; we have water for every week”
We will review the status of the embassaments of Camp de Tarragona, which aim to offer an image of extreme drought. The one of Riudecanyes He has gone from being less than 2% of his capacity to 17% in a week. The one of Siurana It has also gone from 2% to 7% in just one week, according to the data of the Catalan Water Agency (ACA) of the divendres.
The image of pantà d’Ulldeconawhich belongs to the Xúquer Hydrographic Confederation, has also changed radically in just one week. This is practically the case (1.1% and 0.13 hm3, but in these moments it accumulates 6.15 cubic hectares of water and the reserves have finally bid at 56%. The embassament is located in the Pobla de Benifassà , to the Valencian Countrybut it supplies water to the irrigation communities of Ulldecona and La Sénia, to Catalonia, to the communities of Sant Rafel del Riu and Rossell, and to the province of Castelló.
els GuiametsHowever, it ends up being 6.8% less than 10.7% of the total capacity. On the other hand, Felix It is maintained gairebé ple i Riba-roja also, at 93.8%.
“It’s not enough”
Malgrat això, both the person in charge of the Water of the Union of Pagesos al Tarragonès, Marti Maciaswith the person in charge of l’Aigua d’Unió de Pagesos al Priorat, Jordi Aixalàdetail that it is not sufficient and does not ensure irrigation. “It is a respite for the poor but not for agriculture because we cannot use the pantà water; we have water per week,” says Aixalà.
“It will take all of November and December. To begin with, it will take 4 hectometres of water to arrive and not even a single one”
Macías, who is the owner of the pantà de Riudecanyesexplains that “the trend is good but not to be sure that in the summer they will have water to water.” “It will take all of November and December. By now, it will take 4 hectometres of water to arrive and not even a single one,” he says.
Both Macías and Aixalà agree that the solution to the water supply problems of the Siurana and Riudecanyes is long overdue through structural works. Farmers are required to notify that there is no water to irrigate due to persistent drying. De fet, It has caused crashes in the dry fruit cultivation, with garrofers, ametllers and avellaners, olive and vinya. In the mountain areas of Prades or Priorat “there are practically no hazelnuts” and next to the Riudecanyes pantà there are 1,400 hectares with “the trees are dead”, he remembers Sergi Martinpage i national responsible for dried fruit of the Unió de Pagesos.
Works and transfers
Martín reiterates that the definitive solution for the Riudecanyes pantà is to be able to reuse regenerated water from the Reus treatment plant. The Pages Union insists on accelerating the works to Reus Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The Government is promising that the works will be carried out urgently, but they will not be ready by the end of 2027. Macias, who is also head of the WWTP monitoring commission, points out that it is escurçar el terminis: “Potser ja no hi serem temps”. Martín afegeix que cal que es faci bé per l’alta salt concentration. “If it is not covered with drinkable water, the water will be very salty and will cultivate hazelnut trees, which are especially sensitive. Watering a hazelnut tree with salty water is killing it,” he comments.
In the case of Priorat, when the regenerated water did not arrive, the solution focuses on transfer water from the other points to guarantee the regulation of farmers. Pel that fa to the Siurana pantà, which supplied the municipalities of the commonwealth of the Topographer (Torroja del Priorat, Poboleda, Gratallops i Porrera), would be carrying water from the Ebre River – which depends on the Ebre Hydrographic Confederation (CHE) – to the embassy. A proposal that aixecat has recels among the members of the GEPEC (Grup d’Estudi i Protecció dels Ecosistemes Catalans), which highlights the possibility of transporting the transferred water to the Siurana pant.
For now, the Catalan Executive has committed to connecting the Ebre with the Guiamets embassy in 2025. The works will cost 5.5 million and they have to serve because the reg estigui ensures the area. Later, in 2026, a connection of the Garrigues Sud canal to the Montsant area is planned.

Aixalà poses with the taula that he Margalef pantà, that in breu rebrà aigua de l’Ebre, “pugui lengthen the seu reg all that is the Vilella Baixa, the terme of the Vilella Alta and a part of Gratallops and del Lloar, that is, the Valley of the Montsant river. because it would be water crossed from l’Ebre, but with bombeig”, he comments. “To the rest of the areas the water “It could come from the Guiamets and Siurana pantà region,” according to Aixalà.
Remember that for a couple of years the transfer of water from Siurana to Riudecanyes is going to be stopped for the first time because of the dryer, since the fish were in danger of death and the little remaining water was left in poor condition. It is fa every any for a historical contract,
Adjustments to the sector
The Generalitat will announce in mid-October that it is committed to studying a new line of central adjustments specifically to the Priorat area, taking into account that the areas of Siurana, Montsant and Riudecanyes are among the most affected by the drought. The Minister of Agriculture, Oscar Ordeig, It is going to commit to further increase the prop of 2 million which is estimated to farien cap the Priorat with adjustments to farmers.
These are part of the package of a total of 70.8 million for all of Catalonia announced by the president of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa, on September 20 during a visit to Cabacés. Aixalà explains that Priorat has higher production costs than the rest of Catalonia: “double or triple per hectare.” Per això claims that they cannot be the mateixos that remain.
