• Catalonia is facing a severe shortage of rainfall, which has depleted the internal basins' reservoirs.
• Soon, the Catalonian government might declare a drought emergency in the area of Barcelona and the Ter-Llobregat supply system.
• The scarcity of water can lead to severe restrictions affecting most of the Catalan population.
• The lack of investment and progressiveness in implementing the necessary reforms have exacerbated the problem.
• Responsibilities of the problem are not exclusive to the current government and local councils but also previous ones.

Conclusion: The severity of the current situation could be the definitive push to take all necessary measures to better cope with future droughts.
