These households &#8211; around 1.5 per cent of the total for the metropolitan area &#8211; have exceeded the limit of 200 litres per person per day set as part of the city\u2019s drought emergency. They will also be reminded of activities that are currently banned, like filling private swimming pools, watering gardens and washing cars.<\/p>\n<p>The letters will warn residents about the fines they could face if authorities find they are breaking the rules. Around 250 more letters will be sent to \u201clarge consumers\u201d like industrial operations or large properties that are using more water than is allowed. These letters will request details of their current and future water-saving plans. The Barcelona Metropolitan Area (AMB) is trying to reduce water use in its 36 municipalities after a drought emergency was declared on 1 February. It says this is the \u201clongest and most severe drought in the metropolitan area since records began\u201d. These municipalities have on average been exceeding the limit of 200 litres of water per person per day.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, a quarter of the water consumed by the Barcelona metropolitan area\u2019s 3.3 million inhabitants is reclaimed. A further 33 per cent comes from desalination &#8211; another major focus for increasing supplies &#8211; with these two measures accounting for up to 58 per cent of all the water consumed in the area.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/02\/29\/barcelona-gets-tough-on-water-rules-24000-residents-told-to-use-less-water-amid-drought-em\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-486\/\">Barcelona gets tough on water rules: 24,000 residents told to use less water amid drought emergency<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[4450,575,13622],"class_list":["post-126470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-barcelona","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-water-consumption"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126470"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126470\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
