The drilling and installation of a new piezometer have recently been completed in Santa Coloma de Queralt, aimed at monitoring underground water resources. This device, reaching a depth of 150 meters, has been strategically placed in the parking area in front of the local cemetery.
The entire project was financed by the Catalan Water Agency (ACA), which has promoted this initiative as part of a broader program. This piezometer is one of fifteen control points that the ACA has deployed across ten Catalan regions, with a total investment approaching 855,000 euros.
Funding for these actions comes from the European Next Generation funds. Notably, the installation in Santa Coloma de Queralt is the only one carried out in the Conca de Barberà region under this plan.
The primary objective of these piezometers is to optimize the control and monitoring of groundwater, both quantitatively and qualitatively, to improve its management and ensure its sustainability.
