Information
Description
embalses.info is a web platform that provides up-to-date information on the status of Spain’s reservoirs and dams. The application offers real-time hydrological data with weekly updates, allowing citizens, researchers, and public managers to consult water levels, capacities, and historical trends for more than 400 reservoirs organized into 16 river basins.
The application includes an interactive dashboard showing the overall status of Spanish reservoirs, an interactive (coming soon) basin map with filling levels, and detailed pages for each reservoir with weekly trend charts, comparisons with previous years, and historical records dating back to the 1980s. It features a powerful search engine, data analysis with interactive charts, and a contact form for suggestions.
From a technical standpoint, the platform uses Next.js 14+ with TypeScript on the frontend, Prisma ORM for data access, and PostgreSQL/SQL Server as the database. It is SEO-optimized with a dynamic XML sitemap, optimized meta tags, structured data, and friendly URLs. The site is fully responsive, accessible, and includes automatic light/dark mode.
The public value of the application lies in providing transparency and accessible information on Spain’s water resources, enabling farmers, public administrations, researchers, and the media to make informed decisions based on reliable and up-to-date data.
