Drought in Catalonia<\/h2>\n

Drought in Catalonia has become a growing concern in recent years, impacting both the natural environment and people’s lives. The region has experienced periods of rainfall scarcity that have severely affected the availability of water for agricultural irrigation, urban supply, and the preservation of local ecosystems.<\/p>\n

The severity of the situation has led public authorities to implement water conservation measures, consumption restrictions, and a call for awareness about the importance of sustainable management of a vital resource such as water. Drought in Catalonia serves as a tangible reminder of a world increasingly affected by climate change and the urgent need to adapt and preserve natural resources.<\/p>\n

The drought plan, active since October 2020, establishes five phases based on the drought situation and water availability: normalcy, pre-alert, alert, exceptionality, and emergency. This classification is based on the state of the reservoirs that supply water. In the case of aquifers, municipalities shift from one scenario to another if there is a significant decrease or increase in their volume.<\/p>\n

L’Estartit enters the alert phase<\/h2>\n

The Official Gazette of the Generalitat of Catalonia published this week the declaration of a state of alert due to hydrological drought in the 05 Aquifer Exploitation Unit of Baix Ter, which supplies the municipality of Torroella de Montgr\u00ed and L’Estartit. The municipality had remained in a state of normalcy since March, as the water level of the Baix Ter aquifer had not shown any significant decline. In recent weeks, the situation has worsened, and now it has been declared in the alert phase<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Water restrictions for urban uses in municipalities in the alert phase affect various aspects, such as the maximum water volume per inhabitant per day, water usage for pools, public and private irrigation, vehicle cleaning, street and urban furniture cleaning, ornamental fountains, farms, among others.<\/p>\n
