From the Blue Community aeopas – Spanish Association of Public Water Supply and Sanitation Operators:
This week, AEOPAS took part in the debate organised by RETEMA on the European Water Resilience Strategy and its implications for Spain.
A joint analysis involving public authorities, academia and the water sector on how to tackle a scenario of structural scarcity, climate-related pressures and increasing regulatory demands.
At AEOPAS, we argue that water resilience cannot remain merely a declarative strategy. It requires stable funding, infrastructure renewal, long-term planning and coherent regulatory frameworks that enable public services to adapt to new risks.
The challenge lies not in the public model or the technical capacity of operators, but in the institutional and financial framework within which the urban water system operates, which determines investment and the structural adaptation of the service.
