Water resources must be correctly managed to ensure a correct supply and quality
of water (fresh- and saltwater), and to accomplish the environmental needs for water
requirements, treatment, and disposal : of sewage. It has been widely recognized that
fresh water supply can be a limiting factor for the development of a mass tourism in
many areas of the Mediterranean. Wate~ requirements increase greatly during the tourist season (Fig. 14.5b). The seasonality in the consumption of water mirrors the production of solid waste. The Costa Brava receives water from the Catalan basin. Although
there is enough water to fulfil its requirements, resources of the basin (1532 hm 3 a-I)
