What is the immediate impact of the recent heavy rainfall on Madrid's water systems, and how are the city's infrastructure and resources responding?

The heavy rainfall in Madrid has caused rivers like the Manzanares, Guadarrama, and Jarama to swell, posing a regional threat. However, 1.42 billion liters of rainwater are currently being held in underground storm tanks, equivalent to the capacity of 1.5 Santiago Bernabéu stadiums. This is roughly the annual water consumption of 15,000 people.
