Definition of concepts

Fonts pròpies

Methodological aspects

The Catalan Water Agency (ACA) manages and plans the water cycle, with a vision of integrated water systems, taking into account the balance of all ecosystems. Water becomes a basic structural and functional element to the environment and life. This management must be compatible with the growing demand for permanence, universality and immediacy of the citizens of an advanced society, and ensure quality and good service.

Water consumption, both by domestic uses and economic activities (industry, services and others) is obtained on the basis of the invoicing presented by the agents that supply it.
