ARCHIVED - Night vision drone monitors flooding of Totana reservoir
A breach in the reservoir in the Murcia municipality caused it to overflow
A park and local premises had to be evacuated in the south-eastern municipality of Totana on Wednesday night September 15 after a reservoir on Calle Rosa overflowed.
The owner of the irrigation system contacted the emergency services in the Region of Murcia to warn them of a possible breach in the reservoir, and several teams of officials rushed to the site to confirm the overflow.
Officers evacuated the areas most at risk of flooding as a precautionary measure and proceeded to go door-to-door to warn residents of the potential danger. In addition, a drone equipped with a night vision viewer continuously monitored the situation at the reservoir.
