The drought affecting Catalonia poses significant challenges for industries and communities, requiring a responsible and sustainable approach to water resource management. At Aridcal S.A., as a mining company dedicated to the production of aggregates for construction, we are fully aware of our responsibility in this context and have adopted concrete measures to minimize water consumption in our operations while ensuring environmental protection.<\/p>\n

Water Use in Our Operations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Water is an essential resource in our activities, primarily used in three key areas:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Road irrigation:<\/strong> To prevent dust emissions into the atmosphere and ensure safe conditions at our facilities.<\/li>\n
  2. Irrigation of trees in restored areas:<\/strong> As part of our commitment to the environmental rehabilitation of intervened lands.<\/li>\n
  3. Irrigation in the production system:<\/strong> To control dust generated during aggregate production processes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Authorized Water Concession and Actual Consumption<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Aridcal has an authorized water concession of 27,600 m\u00b3 per year, a volume that allows us to operate efficiently and sustainably. However, aware of the importance of reducing our environmental impact, we have worked intensively to decrease our actual water consumption, achieving remarkable results in recent years:<\/p>\n
