39% seems relatively high by Australian/Spanish/South African standards. Barcelona's reservoir is currently sitting around ~16%.
Is that 39% number deceiving, meaning that the actual supply to Mexico DF would run out sooner?
- MattGaiser 3y agoI doubt those numbers are usefully comparable across cities, as a lot would depend on how much of a city's usage the reservoir held. So it would need to be days of reserves or something like that.
- jddj 3y agoTrue, would need to assume that over time drought-prone cities converge on a number of days from full for their reservoirs. Unlikely to be the case. For 39% to be low enough to get to 0 by june though they'd have to get through the whole thing in under a year with no rain.
