future of water looks good because you
paint it”, FCC Aqualia emphasised the de-
velopment and application of new techno-
logical developments, some of which are
already available, the contribute to more
efficient water consumption at households
and cities and one which is respectful of the
environment.
The works of the younger crowd demons-
trated their awareness of this issue and
their drawings, with great creativity, expres-
sed how they envision the future in their
cities and towns, painting a thousand and
one smart ideas for the responsible use of
water.
José Arce, manager of the Communica-
tions and Marketing department, said that
“we continue to feel proud of this initiative
after having organised eleven editions, not
just in terms of participation, but also be-
cause we are raising awareness among the
young and the record figures underline that
the impact of this initiative in our schools
and among the youth is certainly increa-
sing”.
“We hope, once again, that the drawing
contest contributed to bringing this messa-
ge to the youth, our future”, Anna Alcalá, in
charge of this edition of the contest said.”
She added that “In this way, they will not
only have a better understanding of water
and of its end-to-end cycle, but will also
learn to better appreciate the efforts requi-
red to bring it to homes with total guaran-
tees, quality, and amount, also using tech-
nologies that make life easier and which
help them to consume and use water more
responsibly.
