15 reservoirs with a combined capacity of 1,140 hm³ · latest official reading: 6 October 2026
The Segura basin is currently at 49.3 % of capacity, far above normal for the time of year. The week-41 average across 38 years of records is 23.3 %, a difference of +26.0 points.
For context: a year ago it stood at 16.2 % and a month ago at 53.0 %. Against last week’s reading it is falling (−0.8 points).
Blue line: average monthly filling for the whole demarcation since 1988. The dot marks today’s reading, 49.3 % in October.
With 2,023 weeks of record since 1988, the average pattern of the Segura basin is clear: it peaks in April at 35.5 % and bottoms out in October at 23.1 %. That 12-point range makes it a moderately seasonal demarcation.
The highest reading in the whole series is 77.0 %, on 22 April 2014, and the lowest 7.1 %, on 27 September 1994. Comparing today against those two extremes says more than the bare percentage: 50 % is comfortable in a demarcation that rarely tops 60 %, and worrying in one that usually reaches summer full.
By capacity it is the 10th demarcation of the 14 covered by the hydrological bulletin: its 1,140 hm³ account for 2.0 % of everything Spain can store in mainland reservoirs. Today it holds 562 hm³.

The figures on this page come from the official MITECO reservoir archive, the same database behind Spain’s weekly hydrological bulletin. The bulletin covers every mainland reservoir above 5 hm³ of capacity and is published every Tuesday with Monday’s reading.
The latest reading here is from 6 October 2026, and the comparison series starts in 1988. Nothing is estimated, interpolated or forecast: the percentage is stored volume divided by the usable capacity the bulletin itself assigns to the dam. Historical averages are computed over the same calendar week in every previous year, the only fair comparison in a system with such marked seasonality.
