Muy a la ligera has dicho tu eso. En los periodos fríos y sobretodo en el Sur y Centro de España la precipitación era superior a la actual.
Muy a la ligera decis las cosas, la mejor reserva de agua es la nieve.

Using the trace-element contents in lacustrine ostracod
valves in Lake Banyoles (northeastern Spain),
Wansard (1996) has postulated a
temperature decrease
of 8ºC for the onset of the Younger Dryas and
a duration of the event of ca. 400 years. In southern
Spain we do not yet have information to compare
this model but the vegetation appears to have been
affected in both the disappearance and
regression of
thermophytes as well as in the extension of xerophytic
communities (Pons and Reille, 1988; Carrion
et al., 1998). Hence, the climatic change would have
involved
a remarkable precipitation decrease.

The middle phase exhibits a
cold and dry climate in Iberia linked with the maximum input of ice-rafted detritus.
http://tinyurl.com/36wa9u7 The low atmospheric CO2 concentration is not a likely explanation for the
descent of relatively cold-tolerant trees such as Olea capensis
and Ilex mitis into regions where the modern tree flora is
tropical. Estimates of the temperature change required to
produce the observed vegetation shifts are as large as –8°C
(Coetzee, 1967), with smaller estimates (c. –4°C) when the
possible effects of
low precipitation are taken into account
http://paleodiversitas.org/PDF/122.pdf Cold phases coexisting with dry periods produced the recession of forests and the development of grasses.
After these periods,
as both temperature and precipitation increased, forests expanded and the water level, linked to
thaw, rose, especially at ca. 20 ka B.P.
