Alicante province is guaranteed water for the next two years.It has been the wettest autumn and winter for over 20 years.Water stocks in all reservoirs are at a peak.Entrepeñas and Buendia reservoirs are holding 832 cubic hectometres ,an amount not seen since 2004.

Consequently there will not be any restrictions for domestic,industrial or agricultural use.The only problems could arise if a network breaks down.This should still be a time when people monitor their water consumption closely .After the two years is up then there could follow a period of drought when water will once again be a huge issue.

Agricultural organisations are saying that these conditions for their produce are the best for years and they want the provincial and regional governments to promote their produce.The south has not only had rain but also extremely cold weather and this will affect their produce production adversely.Planting in Alicante province this spring has been a joy and summer fruits and vegetables will have been given a head start.
