Municipalities on the Costa Brava concentrate 40% of their annual water consumption during the summer months, highlighting the pressure on water resources.

Municipalities located on the Costa Brava experience a significant increase in water consumption during the summer season, accounting for 40% of the total annual consumption. This figure underscores the intense water demand these locations face during July and August, coinciding with the peak tourist season.
This situation places considerable pressure on the available water resources in the area, particularly in contexts of potential droughts or water restrictions. The rise in consumption is primarily due to the population increase from the influx of tourists and temporary residents.
