Visitamos una depuradora muy, muy pequeña, de veraneo, diseñada para poco más de 1.600 viviendas y un hotel.

Problemas: unos pocos, pero interesantes.

Primero, no la gestiona la municipalidad por cuestiones “políticas”, así que el coste corre a cargo de los vecinos.

Eso sí, cuando se incumpl...

In this episode, I revisit a conversation that started for me eight years ago: the debate around thermoplastic valves in desalination projects.
