Celebrate World Water Day with Aquona

Water tastings, visits to facilities and Aqualogía workshops are some of the many activities with which Aquona will commemorate the World Water Day.

From Aquona we invite you to celebrate World Water Day. This date is commemorated on March 22 since the United Nations (UN) established it in 1992 with the purpose of vindicating the need to guarantee universal access to this limited resource and promote its sustainable management.

This year we celebrate World Water Day with the slogan "Do not leave anyone behind" and at Aquona we assume that commitment placing people as a key and fundamental part of our management. And for them we have prepared hundreds of activities in the municipalities of Castilla-La Mancha and Castilla y León where we have presence.

Ciudad Real will host a large number of actions to celebrate World Water Day. Aquona will take the Municipal Water Service to the street. It will be in the Plaza de la Constitución, from 09.00 to 15.00 hours, in a tent where citizens can perform various procedures and procedures related to water service. In that same space, and given the success of previous years, citizens will be able to attend live a water tasting in which they will be able to know the water quality of their city. The tastings will be held at the same time, from 09:00 to 15:00, and are open to the public. Again this year we will have the collaboration of the UCLM, which will be present on World Water Day. The students of the Master of Chemical Engineering will carry out live simulations of how water is made drinkable in order to make the work of a drinking water plant more visible. And for the first time, the students of the Higher Technical School of Civil Engineering, will present the "Sample of the singular processes of water distribution". This initiative will be completed with the exhibition of leak detection equipment and network inspection equipment, in addition to the sample of 1 m3 of water in bottles. The action will be completed with Open Doors Workshops with the Gasset Mancomunidad in the Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Zamora will be another of the nerve centers of the celebrations with water tastings and visits to the water treatment station of the Alto de los Curas aimed at groups of the city. On March 22 will take place the water tasting in which the municipal corporation and the Zamora Handball Club will participate. Previously, and in an incomparable setting, the Restaurant Las Aceñas, with the river Douro in the background, will take place the water tasting involving sports professionals, representatives of local groups and other professionals linked to water and communication. The youngest also have their role with the Aqualogía educational workshop that takes place throughout the week in various schools in the city, and this year comes to the Red Cross through "The Colors of Water."

In Daimiel, the students of the IES Juan Dopazo and technicians of the city council will visit the Integral Water Cycle. In addition, in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, live water tastings will be carried out so that anyone can see how the water is in Daimiel, and there will be an exhibition of large equipment.

For their part, the residents of Segovia will be able to visit the Drinking Water Treatment Station of Rancho El Feo so that different groups of the city can learn about the purification process. At the Casa de la Lectura, a lecture-talk will be held on March 22, during which Aquona staff will talk about the remote control system installed in the ETAP of Rancho el Feo.

Poblete joins these acts with a water tasting in which the origin of the local water and its flavor will be shown. To this is added the exposure of large equipment and the installation of a fountain with tap water.

In Palencia, the City Council and Aquona invite the Palencians to participate in a water tasting that will take place in the Plaza Mayor in Palencia on Friday, March 22, from 12:00 to 14:00. Before, in the office of Aquona in Palencia will be located a stand in which a commemorative glass for 50 years of management will be offered as a gift. The water tastings will return in the afternoon to the Las Huertas Shopping Center in Palencia. To get to know first-hand the processes of water purification, guided visits will be made in the Wastewater Treatment Plant (EDAR) of the city, where a nest workshop will also take place within the framework of the BiObserva environmental volunteer program. In these same facilities, there will be a workshop on experiences with water with small experiments, in which CEIP Tello Téllez will intervene. And to complete the agenda, in collaboration with the City Council of Palencia, the Arboretum plantation will take place in the Ribera Sur Park with the participation of CIP Marqués de Santillana.
