The bottom line with PFAS is that there is no way to tackle the problem unless you treat water as a cycle instead of splitting governance in a sectorial way. And when you do that, you realize that the only way to solve this in a reasonable way is to ban their production.

Lo de la calidad del agua potable en la España rural y cómo se está gestionando da para una tesis doctoral y media.
La ósmosis inversa

«Potabilizar el agua no es tan fácil porque todo es química», señala la concejala de Grijalba. «Si quieres bajar la cal, suben los cloruros, por ejemplo, se va desestabilizando...», añade. Ahí entra en juego la ósmosis inversa, que trata de eliminar las impurezas del agua pasándola por unas membranas semipermeables.

Por el momento, en Grijalba mejorarán su potabilizadora y, aunque les han propuesto una planta común de ósmosis inversa, Del Castillo considera que sería más práctico que cada vecino tuviera la suya, para no gastar tantos recursos en, por ejemplo, purificar el agua de las duchas, el váter, el riego o contratar un empleado que controle día a día una planta tan grande.

La idea es que el agua llegue a las casas «con mayor calidad». Para ello, cada vecino debería poner un grifo extra en su casa con el fin de tener agua potable. Por el momento, son todo planes y primero lo probarán en una casa con descalcificadora «para ver cómo funciona».
