The exhibition, presented at the Parque de La Fuente by the first deputy mayor, Jorge Marín, and the Deputy Director of Support and Institutional Relations of Canal de Isabel II, Fernando Arlandis, consists of six two-meter-high totems. Each of its 24 faces features large photographs and explanatory texts reviewing the company's history and its connection to the development of Madrid.
The exhibition, available until July 15th, includes historical images such as the construction of the first dam, the Pontón de la Oliva, and the arrival of water to the fuente de San Bernardo. It also showcases photographs of emblematic infrastructures like the El Atazar dam and the reservoirs of Plaza de Castilla and Santa Engracia, alongside recent technological advancements in water management and energy generation.
Concurrently, Canal de Isabel II is present at events through its 'aguaneta de Canal', a water truck offering hydration in municipalities. It will be at the Miaccum Night Trail on July 18th, a mountain race in the Sierra de Guadarrama organized by the Collado Mediano town council. The aim is to promote responsible consumption and the quality of Madrid's water.
The 'Impulsamos el futuro de Madrid' exhibition is part of a program of activities that will tour 24 municipalities in the region throughout the year. It has already visited 10 towns and currently, besides Collado Mediano, can be seen in Villarejo de Salvanés, with future stops in Miraflores de la Sierra and Tres Cantos.
Canal de Isabel II, with 175 years of history, seeks to highlight how water supply has been key to transforming Madrid into a thriving region and a global benchmark in integrated water cycle management. The public company, with over 3,200 professionals, covers all phases of the water cycle, innovating for efficiency and sustainability.
