El Consell Municipal de Barcelona va disminuir el consum d’aigua en un 40% entre el 2022 i el 2024, és a dir, durant el període de sequera. El consum municipal ha passat 6,9 hm3 El 2022 entre aigua potable i aigües subterrànies, a 4,2 hm3 El 2024, dels quals el 77% és aigua potable i el 23% és una massa d’aigua.
Aquesta reducció es deu a la reducció del consum d’aigua dels serveis urbans i al manteniment de l’espai públic, que ha adaptat el servei a les restriccions de l’ús de l’aigua en qualsevol moment. El 2022, el consum d’aigua als serveis urbans va representar el 60% del consum total dels serveis del Consell Municipal, mentre que el 2024 representava el 42,14%. En aquests anys, el Consell Local de Barcelona ha fet canvis importants per millorar l’eficiència de l’ús de l’aigua i per augmentar l’ús de recursos hídrics alternatius, principalment al nivell freàtic.
De fet, el 2024, el 51,75% del consum total de serveis urbans i el manteniment de l’espai públic va ser l’àpat d’aigua.
Els serveis municipals que fan més consum d’aigua són els edificis municipals, el reg dels parcs i els jardins, la neteja de carreteres i altres, com el zoo, els mercats municipals o la neteja de carrers.
Els serveis urbans a Barcelona el 2024 van distribuir el consum d’aigua de la següent manera, prenent en consideració les restriccions de sequera. En els últims dos anys, el Consell Local ha implementat accions per utilitzar millor l’aigua a la ciutat, com l’extensió del nivell freàtic i millores en els sistemes de reg i de drenatge urbà. Això forma part del pla climàtic de la ciutat. La primera alcaldessa, Laia Bonet, va afirmar que s’havien fet els deures correctament.
El consum d’aigua municipal, intern i industrial i comercial ha disminuït, amb un subministrament mitjà de 164 litres equivalents per habitant i dia el 2024, per sota dels 250 litres equivalents per habitant i dia recomanats en època de sequera. En total, es van consumir 88,8 hm3 d’aigua potable a la ciutat. Comparant amb fa 25 anys, s’ha reduït el consum un 22% malgrat un augment del 13% en la població.
Barcelona va començar a experimentar sequera el novembre de 2022, amb restriccions en l’ús de l’aigua segons la fase en què es trobava la ciutat. Des de juny passat, amb mesures més flexibles, la ciutat ha tornat a estar alerta. Podeu consultar la distribució completa del consum d’aigua a Barcelona el 2024 en aquest enllaç.
Per celebrar el Dia Mundial de l’Aigua, Barcelona organitza activitats centrades en la neteja de Les Glòries el diumenge 23 de març, amb l’espectacle «Magic Sustainable» de Luca, que destaca la importància de l’aigua residual i la seva preservació com a bé natural. Todas las actividades e información se pueden encontrar en el sitio web Barcelona + Durable.
Una vez más, la fachada del Consell Municipal de Barcelona se ilumina esta noche con motivo del Día Mundial del Agua, un evento emblemático propuesto por la Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre Medio Ambiente y Desarrollo (CNUMAD) en Río de Janeiro en 1992.
El Consell Municipal de Barcelona redujo el 40% del consumo de agua para usos municipales entre 2022 y 2024, durante el período de sequía. El consumo municipal pasó de 6,9 hm3 en 2022 entre agua potable y aguas subterráneas, a 4,2 hm3 en 2024, siendo el 77% agua potable y el 23% una masa de agua.
Esta reducción se debe a la disminución del consumo de agua de los servicios urbanos y al mantenimiento del espacio público, que ha adaptado el servicio a las restricciones de uso del agua en todo momento. En 2022, el consumo de agua en los servicios urbanos representaba el 60% del consumo total de los servicios del Consell Municipal, mientras que en 2024 representaba el 42,14%. In recent years, the Local Council of Barcelona has made significant changes to improve the efficiency of water use and to increase the use of alternative water resources, mainly at the groundwater level.
Indeed, in 2024, 51.75% of the total consumption of urban services and maintenance of public spaces was attributed to water.
Municipal services that consume the most water include municipal buildings, watering of parks and gardens, road cleaning, and others such as the zoo, municipal markets, or street cleaning. Among urban services, in 2024, considering drought restrictions, water consumption was distributed as follows.
In the past two years, the Local Council of Barcelona has accelerated actions aimed at water use in the city. Examples include extending the groundwater level, improving irrigation systems, or enhancing urban drainage systems in green spaces. All these measures and efforts, along with the economic sector, are key focus areas included in the climate plan.
The first female mayor, Laia Bonet, stated that she had done her homework.
Apart from municipal consumption, internal consumption and industrial and commercial consumption have decreased. The high water supply to the city averaged 164 equivalent liters per day between January and December 2024, well below the current drought phase threshold of 250 equivalent liters per day per inhabitant. Last year, the average was 172 liters per inhabitant per day equivalent. As for internal consumption, it was 96.7 liters per inhabitant equivalent per day, while the previous year it was 98.7 liters.
A total of 88.8 hm3 of drinking water was consumed in all sectors of the city by 2024.
Comparing the consumption with 25 years ago, the data shows a 22% decrease in water consumption, while the population increased by 13%.
In Barcelona, the drought warning was issued in November 2022. Since then, water use restrictions have been maintained, always in line with the current phase. Starting from last June, when the flexible measures are in place, Barcelona has been on high alert again.
