celebrates
World Environment
Day
Educational activities were organized in Oviedo, Vigo,
Alcalá de Henares and Valdepeñas
to encourage the involvement of the community
Coinciding with the celebration of World
Environment Day, Aqualia collaborated
with the activities organized by the town
councils, organizations and associations
to encourage the community to become
involved in environmental conservation and
improvement so as to be able to achieve a
more sustainable community.
Under the slogan, “Water is not to be pla-
yed with”, schoolchildren in Vigo were able
to learn, in a fun way, about the end-to-
end water cycle and to become aware of
the importance of making responsible use
of this resource. Students were able pass
different tests and questions on water rela-
ted issues by playing on a giant board until
reaching the target.
In addition to the game, a theatre group
performed for the students. At the end of
the seminar, Abel Caballero, the mayor of
Vigo, accompanied by José Luis García,
manager of Aqualia’s branch office in Ga-
licia and José María Ardoy, the manager of
the department, gave out the prizes to the
winners.
Children also played the leading role in

In Oviedo, representatives of “Women on an
Equal Basis”, accompanied by Inmaculada
González, head of the Water and Sanitation
department at Oviedo City Hall, Alfonso
Tomás, manager of the Department, and
Noemí García, head of Aqualia’s Laboratory
Quality, visited the facilities of the analysis
