LIFE WATER WAY- a six-year EUR 761,000 project covering 143 km of the ancient pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela in north-west Spain – provides drinking water from traditional fountains.  Walkers can now refill their reusable bottles at 28 new ‘micro-supply points’ - approximately one every six kilometres - fed by wells and natural springs The fountains use a specially designed purification system to ensure the supply of water is available for pilgrims walking the ‘English Way’ you don’t know if it’s safe to drink,’ says one thirsty pilgrim interviewed by the project LIFE WATER WAY has become a model of responsible water consumption involving 18 municipalities and water and health experts who devised a sustainable and cost-efficient treatment system for the water fountains This new water treatment system is expected to recover 100 m3 (about the volume of a one-car garage) of drinking water each year from natural springs.  huge numbers of pilgrims walk the popular ‘English Way’ Around 25,000 tread the route in Galicia alone - so it’s not surprising that one of the main achievements of the project has been a striking reduction in the use of disposable bottles more than one million single-usage disposable half-litre bottles have been saved preventing 12 tonnes of plastic residues and 841 tonnes of CO2.  I’m pleased to have contributed to the recovery of our natural resources a treasure without which Galicia would not be as we know it,’ says José Antonio Santiso Miramontes Mayor of Abegondo and President of the Mariñas Coruñesas e Terras do Mandeo Biosphere Reserve.   ‘The Life Water Way is an excellent example of cooperation among different local authorities to offer their citizens a great service,’ agrees Valentín González Formoso President of the A Coruña Provincial Council.  ‘Treated natural springs are the solution for micro-supplying drinking water along routes where it isn’t possible to connect to controlled water supply networks,’ notes Teresa Guiérrez López a publicly owned water company.   Sign up for our LIFE Programme newsletters VCF Femenino will travel to La Coruña to take on Deportivo Abanca on Sunday the 25th of April at 12 pm kick-off time at Abegondo Traning Ground on Matchday 27 of Primera Iberdrola 2020-2021 José Bargues’ side lie 10th on 30 points from 26 fixtures and Manuel Sánchez’s side are at the foot of the table on 17 points from 25 fixtures VCF Femenino are coming into the game off the back of a 2-0 home win over Madrid CFF whereas Deportivo Abanca suffered a chastening 9-0 loss to FC Barcelona Femení Valencia CF eased past Deportivo Abanca by a 3-0 in the reverse fixture at the courtesy of goals from Jansen Candela and Florencia Bonsegundo VCF Femenino will try to pick up their second away win of the season sat down with VCF Media to share her pre-match thoughts: “I think is going to be a really tough game because Depor also have a lot at stake They’re a physical side who go all guns blazing but we’re ready and we’ve been working on the intensity for what is coming at the weekend they have a lot at stake and we can’t be complacent because they’re going fight for it from the opening minute until the 90th It’s important for us to take all three points to continue on a positive run and pick up back-to-back wins” Related news Ver todas Latest news Ver todas The pitch has been restored thanks to donations from LALIGA EA SPORTS and contributions to the ‘FILA CERO SOLIDARIA’ Madrid -
