According to Webangah News quoted by Tasnim News agency, SRF Switzerland wrote in an article: Water in Spain’s Barcelona is becoming rare. Catalonia is suffering from severe drought. The government has declared a state of emergency for water transportation.

This report continues: It has rarely rained in Catalonia for months and water reserves are scarce. The regional government of Barcelona has declared a state of emergency for water transport. This is the pre-emergency situation and basically the last stage before the emergency situation.

There have been restrictions on water consumption for some time and these restrictions have become more difficult now. Accordingly, agriculture must save 40% of water consumption, and in cities such as Barcelona, ​​the amount of water provided by the water supply is limited to 210 liters per person per day. A few weeks ago, this figure was around 230 liters. Irrigation of green areas has not been allowed for several months. Big campaigns draw attention to the need to save water.

Works are being done in this port so that two tankers can dock from March onwards and 60,000 cubic meters of drinking water per day. to bring from the south of France or the south of Catalonia to this metropolis. This is equivalent to a third of the daily requirement. Such a scenario already existed in 2008. Desalination plants have been operating at full speed since last summer. These now cover one-third of drinking water needs. “It’s not enough, but these systems aren’t scalable either,” explains freelance journalist Julia Macher. The oil tanker scenario is also controversial.

Macher also said that the fact that water is a scarce commodity is well established in most people’s minds. Drinking water consumption has been decreasing for years. According to him, this consumption was 135 liters per person per day at the beginning of the century, but now it has reached 105 liters.

According to Macher, agriculture is one of the most important economic sectors and the largest consumer of water. In the country, he complains about the government’s austerity measures in this sector. If these austerity measures are intensified, the existence of many farmers will be threatened. Barcelona is the largest city in the state of Catalonia and one of the largest and most famous cities in Spain. Barcelona is a city with rich history and architecture, and tourists in this city are fascinated by its culture. Basel is now one of the key cities of the European continent in terms of economy, culture and tourism.
