Potable water is in short
supply in many parts of the
world
Rivers




         Catalonia’s rivers
         Ebro
         Llobregat
         Ter
Barcelona Metropolitan Area
• Population of 3,2 millions inhabitants
• How much water do you use?
     Water consumption: 110 litres/inhabitant/day

            We need water
WATER DESALINATION
               Water is desalinated
in order to convert salt water to fresh water
   so it is suitable for human consumption
Water desalination in the world

                         Desalination
                         is an
                         increasingly
                         important
                         practice to
                         secure clean
                         water in a
                         number of
                         countries.
Water desalination in Spain
• Spain is the fifth
  largest number of
  desalination
  plants in the
  world with a total
  of 900 plants with
  a capacity of
  1.45 million cubic
  meters per day
• The first
  desalination plant
  in Spain was built
  in 1965 in
  Lanzarote
Desalination plants in Catalonia
• The Catalan Water Agency works with the aim of making more
  water available and to guarantee its supply through diverse
  measures that include aquifer recovery, reuse, conservation,
  improvements in water and desalination.



                            To this end, since 2002, the Tordera
                            desalination plant, located in
                            Blanes, has been in operation
Llobregat desalination plant
• In summer 2009 the Llobregat
  desalination plant became operational
• The largest desalination plant in Europe
  dedicated to urban supply
• This facility can serve 4.5 million
  inhabitants and can produce up to
  60 hm3 of water per year (200 million
  litres of water per day). . This supply
  will represent nearly 24% of the city's
  water consumption.
Llobregat desalination plant
Its opening made it possible to increase the guarantee and availability of water in the
Barcelona metropolitan area

Improvement in water quality and taste of the water supplied to the metropolitan
area.

The Llobregat river has always had a high level of salinity, which is the result of the
existence of a natural potassium basin
 .
