On Tuesday, April 3rd the ICBIE hosted the last of three encounters regarding the theme “water.” March commemorated World Water Day and the ICBIE, attentive to such an important theme, not only from the environmental point of view but also social ones, decided to organize these three encounters to underline the importance of this natural resource.
The three seminars were conducted by EMBASA employees (the company that supplies drinking water and runs the sewer system in Salvador): José Francisco Paranaguá, Coordinator of the EMBASA Archaeological Museum, José Francisco Nunes Oliveira, Director of water production systems, and Virgilio Bandeira, Director of the sewage treatment department.
The three encounters were very productive and rich in information, each seminar confronting a particular aspect of Salvador’s water system: its history, the supply of drinking water and the system for gathering and treating domestic sewage.
During the first and last of the three seminars, there was also space for some brief readings on the theme of water, interpreted by several components of the Little Theater Company of the ICBIE.
Big thanks go to the three competent, helpful and friendly functionaries of the EMBASA, who were able to transmit their knowledge with clarity and semplicity but also professionality, stimulating the audience’s curiosity and making them aware of the need for a more rational and sustainable use of our water.
