The state of the reservoirs in the province of Las Tunas Little has not changed a lot since the passage of Tropical Storm Elsa, at the beginning of last July. So that 22 of the 23 dams managed by the National Institute of Hydraulic Resources (INRH) are in favorable conditions to receive the rains of Tropical Storm Fred.

Las Tunas, Cuba.- The province's water reservoirs are at 46 percent of their storage capacity, accumulating just over 162 million cubic meters of water, out of the 350 million 915 thousand possible. 

The "Derivadora Sevilla", from the municipality of Amancio, is excepted, which is reported at one hundred percent of its total filling capacity and is currently relieving, as reported in the daily part of the operating center of the INRH.

In the northern zone, Manatí is 75 percent occupied by the volume of the liquid collection; Puerto Padre, at 33; and "Jesús Menéndez," at 27 percent since the "Juan Sáez", the largest local dam, has very little water availability. Majibacoa and Las Tunas behave at 56 and 54 percent, respectively.
