The authors wish to make the following corrections to this paper [1].
We have found an inadvertent error in the initial reservoir storage volume taken in the modeling work. This has had a knock-on effect on the simulation results presented in Table 6 and Figure 6 and Figure 7, along with the description of the results provided in the main text of our article [1]. We have therefore updated these, as described below.
The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused by these changes.
The authors wish to replace the old Table 6 shown in this paper [1]:
Table 6. Volume (hm3) of water used and efficiency in satisfying the water demands.
Table 6. Volume (hm3) of water used and efficiency in satisfying the water demands.

On page 27, the second paragraph shown in this paper [1]: “Indeed, the water deficits of the system are considerably reduced (up to 66% for the IWD), and the use of strategic GW resources is minimized (up to 9%). There is no water deficit for the UWSD in the whole drought period for S-I and S-II. The IWD benefits from a mean annual water deficit of 10% for S-II in comparison with 30% for S-I” should be replaced with the following corrected paragraph: “Indeed, the water deficits of the system are considerably reduced (up to 37% for the IWD), and the use of strategic GW resources is minimized (up to 9%). There is no water deficit for the UWSD in the whole drought period for S-I and S-II. The IWD benefits from a mean annual water deficit of 21% for S-II in comparison with 33% for S-I”.
The authors wish to replace the old Figure 6 shown in this paper [1]:
Figure 6. 2018 GRB DMP: Measures taken in April (a,c,e,g,i) and evaluation of the real situation made in October (b,d,f,h,j).
with the following corrected Figure 6:

The authors wish to replace the old Figure 7 shown in this paper [1]:
Figure 7. Using streamflow forecast models (in this case, AQUAFOR): Measures taken in April (a,c,e,g,i) and evaluation of the real situation made in October (b,d,f,h,j).

On page 29, the fifth paragraph shown in this paper [1]: “Indeed, the water deficits of the system are considerably reduced (up to 66%), and the use of strategic GW resources is minimized (up to 9%)” should be replaced with the following corrected paragraph: “Indeed, the water deficits of the system are considerably reduced (up to 37%), and the use of strategic GW resources is minimized (up to 9%)”.
