POU CEC, POU SEC
Installation invited by the Transefímers project of the Xarxa Transversal.
The earth is dying of thirst.
According to UNESCO: “Groundwater already provides half of the planet’s drinking water.”
Thinking that drinking water is infinite is an error of the senses.
“The world’s aquifers are in danger of drying up,” says Debra Perrone, professor of Environmental Studies at the University of California (UCSB).
Believing that drinking water is infinite is taking reality at face value.
According to a report by Greenpeace: “44% of the bodies of groundwater in Spain are in poor condition. Overexploitation has been prioritised over water cycle regeneration.”
Believing that drinking water is infinite is an illusion.
