The total volume stored in the region's thirteen reservoirs amounts to 812 hectometers cubed. This figure is 5.2 points above the historical average for this time of year, which stands at 80.9%.

This excellent state of reserves is maintained despite April recording significantly lower rainfall than usual. Rain gauges at the dams collected 32.1 liters per square meter, almost half of the historical average of 60.3 liters per square meter for that month.

Water consumption increased by 20.1% in April compared to the same month last year, rising from 34.6 hectometers cubed in 2025 to 41.6 this year. The public company attributes this increase to circumstantial factors such as reduced rainfall and the celebration of Semana Santa (Holy Week), which alters typical consumption patterns.

So far this year, residents of Madrid have consumed just over 150 hectometers cubed of water, an 8.2% increase from the same period last year. Nevertheless, Canal de Isabel II assures that the current level of reserves ensures a robust system well above historical average values.

The public company emphasizes the importance of maintaining responsible water use throughout the year. It also highlights that efficiency depends not only on citizens but also on the management of the system itself, implementing actions such as reuse, pipe renovation, leak detection, and network digitalization.

Thanks to public awareness and investments made, per capita water consumption in the Comunidad de Madrid has been reduced by more than 30% since the last drought in 2005, without compromising service quality.
