The Cerro Prieto Damlocated in Linares, Nuevo Leonreached 81.4 percent of its storage, which means that the filling level it had from 20.6 percent has almost quadrupled; this thanks to the rains that have been registered with the entity.
Authorities said it could be at 100 percent of its capacity in the coming days, taking into account the predictive models that exist about the arrival of the hurricane Beryl to Mexican lands.
“Where we could have more rain is in the area of Cerro Prieto. This is an optimistic forecast. We could reach up to 127 (millimetres of rain) in Cerro Prieto. With this volume, Cerro Prieto will probably be filled,” said Juan Ignacio Barragán, director of Water and Drainage of Monterrey.
This Monday the gates of the La Boca dam were opened for the fourth time, as it is practically full after reporting a 97 percent storage.
The excess water is sent to The knife, because it is the reservoir with the greatest capacity of the three in the state.
