Barcelona Ends Water Shortages with Desalination
Barcelona, Spain,(pictured) has opened a new desalination plant at El Prat del Llobregat which will now supply 24% of the water consumed in the Barcelona area, and end the chronic water droughts.
The new plant will produce 44 million gallons of potable water daily for the 4.5 million residents of Barcelona.
Two additional desalination plants are being constructed in the Catalonia region.
The head of the Catalan regional government, Jose Montilla, said the plant would lift the threat of emergency restrictions on water consumption in Barcelona, as reported by the BBC.

Great site some good reading here. Was wondering if you guys have heard about plastic water bottles not being safe to drink from in the long run? I wrote a brief interesting article on it at aluminumwaterbottle.net it's an interesting topic to say the least.
