Tenerife reservoirs at 30% capacity after last week's rains, enough to guarantee summer crops

Tenerife's reservoirs are 30% full after last week's rains, technicians say. Things could be better, they claim, but 30% is a positive figure at this stage given both the very dry Autumn we've had, and that we can reasonably expect more rain before the season is over, particularly in February. The water that is already stored, in any case, guarantees the irrigation of crops next summer. JA

If only they'd invested in blocking off a few barrancos they could have caught several years worth of water last week.
