38% of the almost two hundred municipalities that are in emergency due to the drought in the region of Barcelona and Girona, served by the Ter and the Llobregat, exceeded the water provision established by the Generalitat in January; At that time they were in the pre-emergency phase and could not exceed 210 liters per person per day for all uses.
The area where the highest level of non-compliance is concentrated is the central region of Barcelona, where 42% of the 140 localities that have presented their data (59) exceed the bar of 210 liters per person per day.
Among the municipalities that consume the most water in this region are Vilobí del Penedès (485 liters per person per day), Canyelles (417 liters), Cubelles (356), Olivella (362), Castellbell i la Gornal (319) or La Palma de Cervelló (292).
Meanwhile, the information provided by the Catalan Water Agency continues to offer extraordinarily exaggerated consumption data in the Empordà area: 599 liters per person per day in Pont de Molins, 566 in Palau de Santa Eulàlia and Port de la Selva or 487 in Garrigàs.
In the area of the Llobregat headwaters, the fact that only 6 of the 23 municipalities that were obliged to present their January data have done so stands out.
And at the head of Ter, the situation is very similar to the data for the month of December. The consumptions of Campelles (475 liters per person per day), Masies de Voltregà (451), Sant Quirze de Besora (362) and l’Esquirol (294) stand out.
