Florida, Sep 24.- The current volume of water in Muñoz Dam of Florida is estimated at around 14 million cubic meters, which represents only 12 percent of the total filling capacity of the largest reservoir in the territory.
After the rains of this last week in the province and the municipality, an increase in its storage is observed with the entry of around four million cubic meters of water, a figure that is not insignificant but very far from what is needed for a sustainable recovery in this reservoir.
On the other hand, specialists from the Regional Unit of Hydraulic Resources based in the neighboring municipality of Vertientes, are still optimistic regarding the replenishment of Florida dam based on the most recent meteorological reports that point to an increase in the probability of rain in the remainder of September and next October.
The current availability of the precious liquid in the reservoir is insufficient to sustain the program of water delivery to the agricultural system in the south of the municipality, in addition to threatening the life of a large mass of fish that lives in the dam, whose storage capacity can exceed 110 million cubic meters.
