Barcelona City Council launches the program 'Hands to the Garden: every drop counts' in the Sants-Montjuïc district to reduce water consumption in municipal urban gardens.
The Barcelona City Council has presented the program 'Hands to the Garden: every drop counts', an initiative aimed at reducing water consumption in the urban gardens of the Sants-Montjuïc district. This measure is set against the backdrop of drought and affects users of these spaces, who will receive training and advice to optimise irrigation.
The program includes practical workshops on efficient irrigation techniques, such as drip irrigation, rainwater harvesting, and the use of mulch to retain soil moisture. These actions will allow for a reduction in water usage without compromising crop yield.
The urban gardens of Sants-Montjuïc are managed by community entities and elderly individuals, and have become a space for socialisation and learning. With this initiative, the council aims to involve gardeners in sustainable water management.
“Every drop counts, and together we can use water more responsibly in our gardens,” municipal sources have stated.
The training will be conducted in the gardens themselves and will be open to all participants. The program will run throughout the year and its impact will be evaluated for potential expansion to other districts.
Those interested can check the activity schedule on the Sants-Montjuïc district website.
