The City Council of La Selva del Camp will initiate periodic analyses of the water in the La Selva river to complement the management by the Catalan Water Agency (ACA).

The municipal initiative will focus on collecting samples at various points along the river, which will be sent to an accredited laboratory for analysis of chemical and environmental parameters. This task will be carried out through EMATSA, the company responsible for the integrated water cycle management in Tarragona and surrounding municipalities.
The periodic samplings will provide valuable data on the water's condition along the river's course. Additionally, City Council staff have received specific training to collect samples in case of potential incidents.
EMATSA technicians have transferred the sampling protocols, including guidelines for collection, handling, and laboratory submission, to representatives of the Municipal Guard and the town's water wardens.
This initiative will enable more thorough monitoring of water quality and facilitate the rapid detection and analysis of any potential issues.
