Gran Canaria Enhances Water Resource Management and Infrastructure
In a significant move to address the ongoing challenges of water scarcity, the Consejo Insular de Aguas de Gran Canaria (CIAGC) has intensified its efforts to protect water resources and explore new hydraulic solutions. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to ensure the island's water security, particularly in the face of climate change and increasing desertification.

One of the key projects underway is the construction of the Emisario Submarino de Bocabarranco, a submarine outfall aimed at resolving the deficiencies in the sewage and wastewater treatment infrastructure in the municipalities of Gáldar and Guía.

Despite some delays in the marine works, the subterranean sections of the project are progressing ahead of schedule[1].
