Recent rains in Catalonia have not solved the problem of drought , be concluded that in the year 2007 ended with the worst record rainfall of the past ten years.
The government of the Generalitat of Catalonia has promoted several projects to ensure urban water Catalan widespread calls in addition to Catalan society for saving and optimization of water use.
Recent studies in this area is based on the possibility of transport water to the city of Barcelona from Marseille, but other possibilities of this water source such as Tarragona and Almeria, although according to statements by Port Authority Barcelona "It does not matter the origin of the boats. Whether you come from Tarragona, and when they arrive in Marseille and Andalusia, for us no problem one ".

Each ship can carry approximately 300,000 liters of water, which is still determine will be the one part Aigues de Barcelona (Agbar) to determine the number of ships that would be needed to remedy the situation and by the port authority, which is the space available at the port for this purpose, it is possible that today reach an agreement on this issue.
However, the situation is alarming because the rains are scarce, leaving the Catalan reservoirs under minimum and department sources said the Environment prepare for the worst case scenario, ie the need to find water anyway, to avoid cuts in domestic supply of these possibilities is to avoid cuts to bring water from elsewhere.
