[EX Q]: También queremos señalar que es necesario financiar obras de infraestructuras para ahorrar agua, especialmente en las regiones con serios problemas para su recogida, como es mi país, y especialmente en las islas, no aumentando el coste, sino aumentando la cantidad, recogiendo principalmente las aguas pluviales; que hoy en día se derrochan, que llegan hasta el mar y erosionan el terreno con todos los problemas que esto ocasiona.
[EX A]: We also wish to point out that especially in areas with acute drought problems such as my own country, and especially on the islands, funding must be provided for infrastructure for the saving of water, by increasing not its cost but its quantity. This should mainly be carried out by collecting the rainwater that now goes to waste, running off into the sea and eroding the soil, with all the problems that creates.
