Drink up

Costa Brava Resident April 2008 number 32



The world Health Organisation estimates that humans can live for 30 days without food, but only three without water. In the Costa Brava area, tap water is provided by the Agencia Catalana de l'Aigua (ACA), which manages the nine major reservoirs that supply the region. At the begining of 2008, water levels in reservoirs across Catalunya were dramatically down, with an average volume of only 25 percent of capacity, just half what it had been 12 months earlier. Only 20 percent of plastic bottles get recycled.
