Spain continues to endure months of drought that are increasingly palpable in the country. This situation has generated several adverse effects, such as price of water. According to ‘La Vanguardia’, the Barcelona Metropolitan Area is preparing an increase in water supply rates in the municipalities that comprise it.
The measure could come into force next year and would affect the localities that are part of the AMB, increasing the price of water in them. This Tuesday it was approved a 30% rate increase by Aigües Ter Llobregatthe company that owns the public company that supplies water to the Barcelona Metropolitan Area.

This 30% increase does not directly affect citizens, but it does affect the AMB, which is unknown how it could modify its rates. This situation comes after The reservoirs of the internal basins of Catalonia have fallen below the historical minimum of the drought of 15 years ago.
The level of reserves of the swamps managed by the Catalan Water Agency is below the exceptional threshold (25%) for the second time in history. These records are approaching the emergency situation, marked at 16% reserves and which has never been reached until now.
