But in Spain one has to be careful with water and the government is talking about water bans. Also in and around Valencia. So it would be a good idea not to be too generous with water.
Spain just came out of a nine year drought.
Save Water!
Be careful when it is as hot as it is now. Pace yourself and drink enough water. Make sure you have some water on you all the time. Let your kids drink water often.
All in all just use your common sense and then there will be enough water for everyone.
