Los Laureles reservoir shows slight recovery, while La Concepción's water level drops

The water levels in Tegucigalpa's two primary reservoirs, Los Laureles and La Concepción, are showing divergent trends this week. Los Laureles has experienced a modest recovery, increasing its water volume to 41.43% of its capacity. This marks an increase of 1.34% from the previous week's 40.09%.

Currently, Los Laureles holds 4.3 million cubic meters of water at an elevation of 1,021.45 meters above sea level, with a production rate of 450 liters per second. This reservoir is a key source for the Honduran capital's water supply.

In contrast, La Concepción continues to see its water reserves diminish. As of Saturday, its storage stands at 34.56% of capacity, a decrease of 1.02% from the 35.58% recorded last week. This reservoir currently contains 12.5 million cubic meters of water at an elevation of 1,137.74 meters above sea level, still contributing to Tegucigalpa's water demand.

Authorities are closely monitoring both reservoirs due to their critical role in supplying water to thousands of residents. They have reiterated their call for the public to use water rationally, particularly during this period of climatic variations.
