Drop by drop… it’s disappearing
Water is the source of life, but the scarcity of
water is one of the biggest challenges facing many
societies today.
Spain has a great geographical diversity due
to its varied climate and relief. In Spain, there is
not a water scarcity but rather an unbalanced
distribution, which requires hydraulic works such as
wells, dams and water channels. However, there
is sometimes water scarcity due to pollution and
overconsumption.
What would happen if your town experienced a serious drought and your consumption of water was severely
restricted? What if there was no drinking water? What measures would you have to adopt? In this unit, you
will be part of a panel of experts dealing with water scarcity. You will participate in round-table discussions
about these and other questions, to come up with ideas to use and preserve available water sources.
