of port activities, in this case through the reduction of consumption of a resource as valuable as potable water,” the port said. With the collaboration of Asturiana de Fertilizantes, the port will store the rainwater collected by the roof so that it can be used later by the companies that operate on the docks in activities that contribute to reducing polluting emissions of sedimentary particles such as irrigation of ore piles, machinery washing, etc. The work that begins today will be carried out by Spanish company Penalbas 2012 with an estimated execution time of four months.
