Galicia Exceeds Historical Average Precipitation with 780 Liters per Square Meter
The Galician region has experienced an exceptional hydrological year with pluviometric records reaching 780 liters per square meter accumulated during the 2024-2025 cycle, marking a notable excess compared to the 680 liters that represent the historical average for this period 🌧️.
Year-on-Year Comparison and Characteristics of Precipitation
The current pluviometric behavior contrasts significantly with the previous year, showing more continuous rainfall episodes and greater temporal persistence. This situation consolidates Galicia as a reference in water resources within the national landscape, with constant availability that minimizes the variability observed in previous cycles 💧.
Highlighted Characteristics of the Pluviometric Regime:- Frequency and intensity of precipitation higher than the historical average
- Persistence of rainy events throughout the hydrological cycle
- Territorial distribution that favors widespread aquifer recharge
The consistency of precipitation has transformed the Galician water landscape, generating optimal conditions for the maintenance of aquatic ecosystems
Consequences on the Territory and Productive Sectors
This water surplus has had direct repercussions in multiple areas, from reservoir recharge to urban supply, creating a favorable scenario for activities such as agriculture and livestock farming that see reduced dependence on complementary irrigation systems 🚜.
Sectoral Impacts of Excess Pluviometry:- Substantial improvement in agricultural yields and forage availability
- Increase in reservoir levels for urban and industrial supply
- Localized incidents due to river overflows in vulnerable areas
Balance Between Benefits and Territorial Challenges
While water resources show an enviable situation, some regions face flooding problems that require emergency interventions to protect infrastructure and properties. The balance between utilization and risk management defines the current Galician water landscape, where abundance coexists with territorial management challenges 🏞️.
