The increase in discharge, reported by journalist Josep Gutiérrez, became effective on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, in the Darnius area. This action by the ACA is a standard practice when reservoirs reach levels close to their maximum capacity, especially following periods of heavy rainfall.

The Darnius-Boadella reservoir, crucial for water supply in the Alt Empordà region, has recently experienced a significant rise in water reserves. This increased flow aims to ensure structural safety and prevent potential overflows in downstream areas.

Water management in this reservoir is vital, as it regulates the flow of the Muga river. The ACA constantly monitors the levels to ensure both water supply to the population and flood prevention in case of new storms or extreme precipitation events.
