The meeting between Elena Espinosa and representatives from Spain's 17 regions takes place on Saturday morning.
The Spanish Minister for the Environment, Elena Espinosa, has called representatives from the 17 mainland regions of Spain for a meeting where she plans to explain to them the Government’s decision to allow the so-called ‘mini water transfer’ to Barcelona.
The meeting has been set for tomorrow, Saturday morning, in Madrid, according to Europa Press.
The cost of the government’s plan to extend a pipe the 60kms between the Tarragona and Barcelona is estimated at between 170 and 180 million €, but some observers say it will take time as land will have to be compulsory purchased in some places.
50 cubic hectometres of drinking water is set to be sent to Barcelona in this way.
The Socialist head of the Catalan Government, La Generalitat, José Montilla, has predicted that in a few months there will be no more talk about the drought, just, he said, as had happened with the chaos on the local railways in the city.
