Water pollution in Spain: beach closures, health alerts and biotechnological solutions

  • The beaches of Baiona and other areas of the Spanish coast suffer recurring closures due to microbiological contamination, with a particular impact in Galicia and La Safor.
  • The quality of drinking water in Badajoz has high levels of trihalomethanes, which has led to it being classified as 'unsuitable' on repeated occasions.
  • Projects such as Water Biosense and the treatment of slurry in the Mar Menor seek to prevent and reduce pollution through technology and biotechnology.
