Strategic lines

Strategic lines

Water supply

Promote sound policies in order to reduce water consumption

• Ensuring rational use.
• Ensuring the quality of supply.
• Promoting the improvement and development of

the entire water system.

• Collaborate

with

• ther

administrations in the development of hydraulic plans and projects.

3.

Water supply Dams and reservoirs Desalination plant

Llobregat desalination plant (2009) The largest desalination plant in Europe dedicated to urban supply. Its

• pening made it possible to increase the guarantee and availability of water in

the Barcelona metropolitan area and the area around. This facility can serve 4.5 million inhabitants and can produce up to 60 hm3 of water per year. Furthermore, the start-up of the Llobregat desalination plant has also led to the improved taste and quality of the water supplied to the Barcelona metropolitan area

• 1.666 drinking public fountains.
• 310 ornamental fountains.
• 28 groundwater network operating systems.
• 85 km of groundwater network.
• 3,4 km of regenerated water network.

Water and urban biodiversity: Protecting aquatic ecosystems

Jardins Mossèn Cinto Verdaguer

Barcelona city promotes since 2008 a program to management ponds and fountains of its parks and gardens with amphibians. The amphibians are the most threatened vertebrates on the planet. In Europe, 23% of species are threatened, according to a study by the

• IUCN. The dependence of two different media, water and land

predisposes them to be very sensitive to deterioration and loss of

• habitats. Protected species:

Common midwife toad –tòtil- (Alytes obstetricans almogavarii) Mediterranean tree frog –reineta- (Hyla meridionalis) Iberian green frog-granota verda- (Pelophylax perezi).

Water and urban biodiversity: Community gardening

Barcelona city promotes since 1997 a program of community gardening for people aged more than 65. The objective is to incorporate them to environmental activities following the ecologic agriculture principles. Nowadays there are 15 gardens between 25 and 40 m2 with seasonal fruit and vegetables, and aromatic plants.

• It has an important social value for its

participants

• It gives the city new green spaces
• Scholars could approach to and practice

agriculture

• It permits coexistence between generations

R+D+i programme

ROBOTS FOR THE INSPECTION AND THE CLEARANCE OF THE SEWER NETWORK IN CITIES

RTWQM “Real Time Water Quality Monitoring” The AG “RTWQM” addresses specifically developments that strengthen the interaction between “sensor technologies” and “data analyses & monitoring tools” to safeguard or improve water quality aspects in the different water using sectors following the smart water concept described under 4.7 and 4.9 of the EIP on Water SIP. The essential element of the Industrial Doctorates Plan is the industrial doctorate project, that is, a strategic research project carried out at a company that allows the doctorand to further develop his research training in collaboration with a university, and which is the

• bject of a doctoral thesis.

Continuous improvement in water management

• 1. Saving measures in parks and gardens

Consumption control and automatic reduction of leakage.

• 1. Flow regulation in public and ornamental fountains

2. Installation of switches and saving systems

• 3. Reduction of tap water consumption for cleaning streets

use of groundwater.

• 4. Promoting water conservation in public buildings
• 5. Reduce the consumption with high efficiency equipment

with meter installation, detection and control of water leaks.

• 6. Saving water in schools

The City Council has promoted the implementation of savings measures in schools and the efficient use of water in the context of Agenda 21.

• 6. Divulgation of advice and practical - Agenda 21

Awareness material to promote the economy and the responsible use of water between citizens and municipal actions: guides, brochures environmental education, websites and exhibitions.
