What To Say On A Birthday Card For Your Boss

111 cubic kilometers per year

The Summer "Status of water governance in Spain in view of the Framework Directive", held at Institute of Engineering of Spain (C. General Arrando, 38 , Madrid) from 5 to 9 July, has been today as a central theme of reservoir capacity in Spain.

Luis Berga, President Emeritus of the International Commission on Large Dams said that "Spain has 111 cubic kilometers of water per year, which is 2,600 meters cubic per person per year. Which means, that although we rains a quantity of water equivalent to 111 or Nou Camp stadium Bernabeu, our per capita water availability is well below the European average is 3,200 cubic meters per year per person. Spain's situation is worrisome because there are 180 countries in the world, are the 117 in water availability. This unquestionable reality requires us to maximize our resources. Nearly 90 percent of the water reservoir that is available among more than 1300 large dams we have. Without dams, Spain could only use 10 percent of its water resources, while the United Kingdom without prey can use 80 percent. Spain, due to variations in temperature, the long periods of drought, average rainfall shortages, needs a large storage capacity for water. Although it is fashionable to be against dams are essential to meet our needs. "Berga warned of water stress in Spain:" The 36 percent of English territory water stress is less than 1700 cubic meters of water per person per year. This occurs in the south and in the Levant. By 2030, if the calculations made on global warming are true, 65% of Spain will have water stress, which will force us to radically change of lifestyle. "

The course has impacted particularly on the issue of water costs, already anticipated on Monday Marta Moreno, Director General of Water, claiming to be to turn to criteria of profitability and adjust prices of water costs. To support this thesis has been provided as documentation, the article just published by Gistau Roque (who was director of the Expo Zaragoza) in the journal "Public Works" which states that because costs have increased because of higher quality and warranty services and that Users must pay a service directly measurable, the price of water, despite the economic situation of the economy, should be increased substantially (it is concluded that, as forecast, expected to double in no more than 5 or 6 years).

The events planned for Wednesday in the Engineering Institute of Spain have some advance to avoid matching the World Cup with a match in Spain against Germany.
