While the representatives of the Govern and the Consell defended the infrastructure as necessary to meet the current demand,<strong> most conservationist and social organizations expressed their rejection<\/strong> because they consider that it could encourage new urban growth and aggravate the pressure on natural resources. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/actualidad\/salvem-sa-badia-de-portmany-se-une-a-la-junta-directiva-de-la-alianza-por-el-agua\/?swcfpc=1\">Salvem sa Badia de Portmany joins the board of directors of the Alliance for Water<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1026\" data-end=\"1593\">During the meeting, which brought together more than 30 representatives of environmental associations, the primary, tourism and business sectors, as well as regional and local government officials, the organizations insisted that the priority should be to <strong data-start=\"1279\" data-end=\"1355\">improve the management of existing water rather than to build new plants<\/strong>. Specifically, they called for accelerating actions to <strong data-start=\"1411\" data-end=\"1460\">reduce losses in municipal networks<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"1462\" data-end=\"1511\">maximizing the use of desalinated water in winter<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"1514\" data-end=\"1561\">promoting the reuse of treated water<\/strong> for agricultural and urban purposes. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1595\" data-end=\"2144\">The organizations, including <strong data-start=\"1627\" data-end=\"1650\">Friends of the Earth<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"1652\" data-end=\"1663\">GEN-GOB<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"1665\" data-end=\"1684\">Salvem sa Badia<\/strong> and the <strong data-start=\"1690\" data-end=\"1725\">Institute of Ibizan Studies<\/strong>, warned that the new desalination plant &#8220;would only serve to justify more tourism and urban development&#8221;, instead of addressing the underlying problem: <strong data-start=\"1880\" data-end=\"1935\">overcrowding and overexploitation of aquifers<\/strong>. In this sense, they called for establishing <strong data-start=\"1976\" data-end=\"2033\">clear limits to urban and tourist growth<\/strong>, and moving towards a more sustainable model that guarantees water supply without compromising ecosystems. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2146\" data-end=\"2690\">For their part, the representatives of the Government, including the <strong data-start=\"2206\" data-end=\"2261\">general director of Water Resources, Joan Calafat<\/strong>, and the <strong data-start=\"2268\" data-end=\"2325\">manager of the Balearic Water Agency, Emeterio Moles<\/strong>, asked for &#8220;patience&#8221; and recalled the actions underway, such as the <strong data-start=\"2396\" data-end=\"2444\">expansion of the Santa Eul\u00e0ria desalination plant<\/strong>, the <strong data-start=\"2449\" data-end=\"2473\">remote control of wells<\/strong> and the <strong data-start=\"2479\" data-end=\"2557\">implementation of regeneration plants in three treatment plants on the island<\/strong>. They also stressed that the municipalities already prioritize the use of desalinated water and are working on the renovation of networks to reduce leaks. <\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2697\" data-end=\"2757\"><strong data-start=\"2701\" data-end=\"2757\">Natural solutions to floods and droughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2759\" data-end=\"2977\">In addition to the discussion on the desalination plant, the Bureau addressed other urgent challenges related to water management on the island, especially the consequences of the <strong data-start=\"2920\" data-end=\"2946\">recent floods<\/strong> and the persistent <strong data-start=\"2964\" data-end=\"2974\">drought<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2979\" data-end=\"3430\">The organizations agreed that Ibiza needs <strong data-start=\"3033\" data-end=\"3072\">nature-based solutions<\/strong> to improve the resilience of the territory. Among the proposals, they highlighted the <strong data-start=\"3152\" data-end=\"3199\">restoration of Ses Feixes del Prat de Vila<\/strong>, the <strong data-start=\"3204\" data-end=\"3237\">renaturalization of torrents<\/strong> and the implementation of <strong data-start=\"3259\" data-end=\"3285\">agroforestry measures<\/strong> to <strong data-start=\"3299\" data-end=\"3371\">absorb and infiltrate water during heavy rainfall events<\/strong>, thus reducing the risk of damage in urban areas. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3432\" data-end=\"3887\">These actions, the participants explained, would make it possible to <strong data-start=\"3493\" data-end=\"3572\">make better use of rainwater and relieve pressure on aquifers<\/strong>, while helping to <strong data-start=\"3601\" data-end=\"3650\">preserve ecosystems of high environmental value<\/strong>. In this sense, they insisted that water management should not only focus on supply, but also on <strong data-start=\"3767\" data-end=\"3820\">restoring the natural balance of the water cycle<\/strong> and strengthening territorial planning to prevent emergencies. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3889\" data-end=\"4246\">The regional representatives agreed on the importance of these measures and stressed that pilot projects are being prepared in collaboration with the municipalities and the Consell to implement these solutions. However, the entities demanded that these actions be prioritized with the same level of urgency as hydraulic infrastructures. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4253\" data-end=\"4721\">The <strong data-start=\"4256\" data-end=\"4284\">Mesa de Di\u00e1logo del Agua<\/strong>, which is nine years old since its creation in the middle of the 2016 drought, has consolidated itself as a meeting forum between administrations, environmental organizations and economic sectors to discuss the challenges of water on the island. However, this year&#8217;s session showed a clear vision gap between those who are committed to new infrastructures and those who advocate a change of model to curb human pressure on natural resources. <\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"4253\" data-end=\"4721\">Continue reading:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/actualidad\/hacer-de-ses-feixes-un-gran-parque-de-tormentas-la-receta-para-evitar-nuevas-inundaciones-en-ibiza\/?swcfpc=1\">Making ses Feixes a large &#8216;storm park&#8217;: the recipe to prevent further flooding in Ibiza<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/actualidad\/ses-feixes-busca-soluciones-para-frenar-las-infracciones-mejorar-el-saneamiento-y-recuperar-sus-parcelas-abandonadas\/?swcfpc=1\">Ses Feixes seeks solutions to curb infractions, improve sanitation and recover abandoned plots of land<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conservation organizations warn that a new plant would only serve to feed urban growth and call for prioritizing water reuse and reducing leaks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":135046,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[2910,2918],"tags":[2912,5114,8523,5751],"ppma_author":[5373],"class_list":["post-135049","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-current-news","category-ibiza-en","tag-actualidad-3-en","tag-alliance-for-water","tag-desalting","tag-water-cycle"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
