Description
embalses.es is a free web platform that gathers, integrates and visualises in real time the hydrological data of the 449 reservoirs in Spain. It is aimed at farmers, fishermen, professionals in the hydrological sector, environmental researchers, data journalists and anyone interested in the state of water resources in Spain.
The project was born with the aim of facilitating citizen access to hydrological information, currently dispersed in multiple institutional portals, integrating it into a single modern, fast and accessible interface. The information is automatically updated every 15 minutes from official sources, such as the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO) and the 13 SAIH systems of the hydrographic confederations.
