Description
The Task Force aims to develop a project that compiles various studies and other existing information on water issues in the municipalities of Armentera, Sant Pere Pescador, Torroella de Fluvià, Ventalló, Viladamat, and Vilamacolum, which make up the Baix Fluvià region.
This problem affects both the qualitative and quantitative aspects of water, and manifests itself through drops in groundwater levels, as well as a loss of water quality due primarily to the intrusion of seawater into the aquifer.
To correct the situation, four actions are proposed:
- Creation of a Community of Water Users of Baix Fluvià.
- Establishment of a stable network for monitoring the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the aquifer water.
- Development of proposals for collective management of agricultural water from the aquifer.
- Establishment of an information mechanism for users and all citizens to know in real time the qualitative and quantitative status of water resources in the Baix Fluvià.
Objectives
It is structured around the following objectives:
- Quantify the decrease in quality and quantity of water resources in the Baix Fluviá aquifer.
- Determine the impact that this loss of quality (especially due to salinity) and quantity (lowering of water tables) causes to agriculture in the area.
- Define a strategy to address and reduce the problem through water management mechanisms, involving all stakeholders in the area.
