\u201cNavegando te das cuenta de que hay zonas clim\u00e1ticas muy diferentes. Hay zonas muy h\u00famedas, y otras des\u00e9rticas y calurosas. Pero el acceso al agua no es una cosa que est\u00e9 solucionada. A veces hay sitios en los que llueve torrencialmente, pero esto no significa que el agua que recojamos sea potable<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Esta palabras de Bruno Garc\u00eda<\/strong>, transmitidas anteayer en una v\u00eddeo conferencia v\u00eda sat\u00e9lite, cuando el We Are Water<\/em> estaba a punto de cruzar el tercer meridiano que corresponde al de Ghana de los proyectos de la Fundaci\u00f3n, muestran como la ruta alrededor del mundo en una regata como la Barcelona World Race es una valiosa plataforma para transmitir un mensaje de reflexi\u00f3n sobre el delicado equilibrio del agua en un planeta de contrastes como es el nuestro.<\/p>\n

\"WAW1\"<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Tres meridianos, tres climas, tres problemas que resolver<\/h2><\/div>

Los tres primeros meridianos<\/a> corresponden a los proyectos de Guinea-Bissau, Marruecos y Ghana. Cuando el We Are Water<\/em> los cruz\u00f3, se encontraba inmerso de lleno en las borrascas del Atl\u00e1ntico Sur. Muy poca variaci\u00f3n meteorol\u00f3gica para Bruno y Willy: cielo gris, lluvia, humedad y viento duro; enorme contraste con al oeste de \u00c1frica, donde trabaja la Fundaci\u00f3n: alisios secos en Guinea-Bissau, en plena \u00e9poca de sequ\u00eda; calma cristalina en las \u00e1ridas monta\u00f1as de Zagora, en Marruecos; y viento seco del noreste, de origen des\u00e9rtico, en Zabzugu, al norte de Ghana, donde en enero los r\u00edos y arroyos ya se han secado, y las mujeres comienzan sus largas caminatas en busca de agua.<\/p>\n

Los navegantes de la Barcelona World Race son testigos de excepci\u00f3n de estos contrastes y est\u00e1n en pleno contacto con los fen\u00f3menos naturales que los causan. El ciclo del agua es el principal motor de la vida en la Tierra y el oc\u00e9ano es su principal generador. \u201cEl agua del mar y el agua dulce est\u00e1n interrelacionadas<\/em>\u201d, ha comentado Bruno Garc\u00eda, \u201cestamos solos en la inmensidad del oc\u00e9ano y, al navegar, te das cuenta de su belleza, de su vitalidad. Su vida es imprescindible para el equilibrio del planeta<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

La baliza Argo botada por el We Are Water ya env\u00eda datos<\/h2><\/div>

Bruno y Willy Garc\u00eda lanzan su mensaje en el contexto de una regata que es pionera en aunar el deporte con la investigaci\u00f3n oceanogr\u00e1fica, y en la divulgaci\u00f3n cient\u00edfica. Uno de sus objetivos es la colaboraci\u00f3n con la Comisi\u00f3n Oceanogr\u00e1fica Intergubernamenta (COI) de la UNESCO, con proyectos de media de la salinidad y temperatura del agua del mar, el estudio de la concentraci\u00f3n de micro-pl\u00e1sticos, y el de la calidad del agua del mar.<\/p>\n

Uno de estos proyectos es el lanzamiento de una baliza Argo, que todos los barcos de la Barcelona World Race han realizado. Las balizas Argo son mini-submarinos que se sumergen hasta 2.000 metros y luego emergen enviando datos muy precisos de temperatura y salinidad del mar. Esta informaci\u00f3n es fundamental para el estudio oceanogr\u00e1fico del comportamiento de las grandes masas de agua del mar, que es clave para entender la evoluci\u00f3n clim\u00e1tica del planeta. (Saber m\u00e1s sobre las boyas Argo<\/a>)<\/p>\n

El We Are Water<\/em> lanz\u00f3 su baliza en el Atl\u00e1ntico Sur, el pasado 23 de enero, en los 35.1495 S, 23.1056 W en una zona de la que los ocean\u00f3grafos tienen muy poca informaci\u00f3n. Se puede seguir la evoluci\u00f3n de la baliza del We Are Water<\/em> desde el tracker<\/a><\/em> de la Barcelona World Race y ver su posici\u00f3n m\u00e1s detallada y los datos que emite en la p\u00e1gina de la baliza del We Are Water<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

El We Are Water contin\u00faa su ruta hacia el este y ma\u00f1ana entrar\u00e1n en el oc\u00e9ano \u00cdndico. Los pr\u00f3ximos meridianos que cruzar\u00e1 ser\u00e1n los del Chad y la Rep\u00fablica Democr\u00e1tica del Congo. El mensaje sigue dando la vuelta al mundo.

Sobre la Fundaci\u00f3n We Are Water<\/h2><\/div>

La Fundaci\u00f3n We Are Water, impulsada por la empresa Roca, tiene como objetivos, por un lado, sensibilizar a la poblaci\u00f3n en general y a las administraciones sobre la necesidad de fomentar una nueva cultura del agua en el mundo y, por otro, paliar los efectos negativos relacionados con la falta de recursos h\u00eddricos, mediante el desarrollo de proyectos de cooperaci\u00f3n y ayuda junto a diversas organizaciones como Educaci\u00f3n Sin Fronteras, Fundaci\u00f3n Vicente Ferrer, Interm\u00f3n Oxfam y Unicef.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":15000,"template":"","categories":[],"class_list":["post-14999","waw_insight","type-waw_insight","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nContrasts for a reflection -
