This is the response to the water crisis that has been affecting Catalonia “for more than three years,” recalls El País . On Thursday, April 18, the government of the region bordering France unveiled its strategy to combat the drought and ensure a regular water supply to its population. The Catalan executive will install a floating desalination plant in the port of Barcelona, and according to information provided by the Madrid media, this infrastructure, which should be operational next October, “will provide 40,000 m3 of water per day,” which is equivalent to “6% of the daily consumption of the Barcelona metropolitan area . ”
