The restrictions are a response to the ongoing drought in the region, exacerbated by a lack of rainfall since Easter. The Guadalhorce-Limonero reservoir, which supplies water to Malaga, is in a state of emergency, while the Viñuela system is below the threshold for serious shortage.
Malaga and Axarquía: 180 litres per person per day
This restriction applies to the municipalities of Almáchar, Benamargosa, El Borge, Comares, Cútar, Iznate, Macharaviaya, Moclinejo, Rincón de la Victoria, Vélez-Málaga, Totalán, Algarrobo, Torrox and Nerja
Campo de Gibraltar (Algeciras, Los Barrios, Castellar de la Frontera, Línea de la Concepción, San Roque, Jimena de la Frontera and San Martín del Tesorillo) and Western Costa del Sol (Benahavís, Benalmádena, Casares, Estepona, Fuengirola, Manilva, Marbella, Ojén, Torremolinos and Mijas): 200 litres per person per day
Unregulated areas in severe shortage: 200 litres per person per day
Agricultural irrigation:
Campo de Gibraltar: irrigation volume limited to 4 hm3 for the hydrological year 2024-2025
Guadalhorce-Limonero system: irrigation volume reduced to 6 hm3 in the event of a serious shortage
Underground resources will be maximised for urban supply
Swimming pools and green areas:
Public swimming pools can be filled up, but private pools must meet specific requirements and obtain approval from the Water Authority
Irrigation of green areas will use non-potable water when available, and water suitable for human consumption will only be used when absolutely necessary.
The Andalucían Government is also promoting the use of desalination plants and non-conventional resources to supplement the water supply.
The new measures will be reviewed at the beginning of 2025, depending on the hydrological situation. Residents are encouraged to conserve water and adapt to the new restrictions to help mitigate the effects of the drought.
