As much of Spain is still suffering a drought, with Catalonia announcing an emergency last week, the Government has finally mobilised to try to ease the burden, although many areas are still demonstratively abusing the scarce water supply.
The Vice-President of the Government and Minister for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, Teresa Ribera, and the Councillor for Climate Action of the Generalitat de Catalunya, David Mascort, met in Barcelona to coordinate the work between both administrations that address the situation of emergency due to drought in Catalonia.
Regarding emergency measures, the Government will make available desalinated water from Sagunto, Valencia, which will be transported by boat to the city of Barcelona. It will make it possible to have desalinated water of up to 40,000 m3 per day starting in June, which will be determined according to need.
