The Institute of Food Research and Technology (IRTA), a public company of the Catalan Generalitat, has participated in a study that analyzed the effects of reservoirs in the basin of the river Segre. Among its main findings it highlighted how necessary to propose new strategies of consumption and water management, since the current climate change scenario becomes increasingly difficult or impossible to meet the demands of water for irrigation and mouth using the current model, and practically unfeasible to develope projects to transfer water from the Ebro basin to other regions of southeastern Spain.
