How to confront with reduced availability of irrigation water

Sobre l'activitat

In summer annual crops

The situation of the reservoirs in Catalonia shows the fragility of water supply for different uses and, in particular, for water for food production. The situation, as of today and according to the available forecasts, makes it likely that we are approaching the most significant drought in the last seventy years.

The hydrographic basin of the river Muga is the most water deficient in Catalonia. It is necessary to prepare the agricultural activity to improve its resilience to the lack of water and thus maintain its activity in this scenario of drought.
