Father is the best of planners. He has assured us "waters will be sure" on The Rock. Whether this pipeline is needed or not, given that there is a water reserve inside the Rock, will be of interest.
Isa. 33:16 He shall dwell on Sion (2 Esd. 13:35): his place of defence [shall be] the Fortress of Rock: bread shall be given him; his waters [shall be] sure.
Gibraltar prepares an underground pipeline to drink Spain's water: this is how it is progressing
-MSN
Gibraltar is preparing an underground pipeline to supply itself with drinking water on "future emergency occasions". As Southern Europe advances, in the spring of 2024 it was at 80%. It connects with the border of Spain, or what is the same, with the Línea de la Concepción.
"80% of the stretch to the border with Spain has been built, but the budget to build the remaining 20% remains to be approved, which is the most expensive and most complicated part as it crosses a densely urbanized section," Gibraltar government sources explain to the aforementioned media. So, both its completion and its specific conditions of use are still "to be determined".
However, on the other side of the fence no one has news of this project. And the difficult thing will be to reach an agreement for the use of the pipeline, since it has been 4 years since the Rock left the European Union and the United Kingdom and the European Commission have not reached an agreement on the relationship with Gibraltar.
José Manuel Alcántara, general director of Arcgisa (Water and Waste of the Campo de Gibraltar) has confirmed to the aforementioned media that there has been no type of contact "neither officially nor unofficially". In addition, he confirmed that no agreement has been signed with Gibraltar in this regard.
But asked how to proceed in the event that the Rock asked for drinking water through that underground pipe, Alcántara confirms that "in the region we are going through a peculiar situation due to the drought so a request of this type, if it arrives, would have to be studied carefully". He indicates that when a fire affected the desalination plant in Gibraltar, occasional help was offered but "only that".
