The time of seemingly limitless water is coming to an end. Changes in rainfall patterns, high temperatures and the irruption of water in quantities that are difficult to manage, force us to rethink our collection, distribution and consumption systems. The subsoil of our cities contains resources that can help us fight overheating. Rainfall, the level of permeability of our soils and new retention systems can help to mitigate the effects of disproportionate water.

This meeting on water aims to share traditional systems and innovations that can help our cities adapt to a new climate situation. Without large investments, recycling what already exists and fragmenting solutions into projects that can be assumed by all. Allowing that, from the smallest scale, we are able to use water optimally and always in our favor.
