An emergency situation in Catalonia due to the worst drought in its history
- The Generalitat has established the emergency situation in the areas of arrival of the Ter and Llobregat rivers. Drought is particularly severe in the Barcelona region, in large areas of Girona and on the Costa Brava: the water level of the reservoirs is 15.8% of its capacity, below the level of maximum alert (16.3%). The 20 measures to be implemented will affect 202 municipalities, almost 6 million people.
Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.
Measures to combat drought will come into force on Friday. Among other things: the quantity of water stored in municipal warehouses, as well as that for cultural, industrial or recreational purposes, will be limited; municipalities will be able to limit the consumption of water in households; buildings, soils and others, public or private, cannot be cleaned with potable water; gardens and green areas will not be watered – with exceptions –; the irrigation conditions of football fields and the like; showers of the beaches may not be used as a temporary source.
If it does not rain, the Generalitat has announced that even stricter measures will be put in place.

When we woke up on February 8, 2024, you were hugging the dinosaur.
There are people who "embrace" capitalism without realizing that the problem is in the same system; in the constant search for growth on a limited planet. All forms of intensive energy production are being swallowed up in the world.

Rising climate change calls into question the possibility of ensuring all risks

Here we come again to renew our reflection. Or at least try. Or dreaming of that. I do not know, however, what will become of the new, as it seems that the world continues with the head of its former neck. Excuse me badly: human beings are still by the same neck.
