HISTÒRIA DEL DIPÒSIT
IN THE MIDDLE
AGES, IN EUROPE,
THERE WERE MANY
HEALTH PROBLEMS
BECAUSE OF THE
CONDITIONS OF
WATER AND ITS
SHORTNESS.
THE WATER IN LLEIDA
WAS NOT CLEAN AND
NOT ENOUGH.
THE GOVERNMENT IN
LLEIDA LOOKED FOR A
SOLUTION.
THE WATER CAME FROM
THE VALLCALENT CANAL.
IT ARRIVED IN TOWN IN THE
“PIQUES FOUNTAIN”OUT OF
THE BOTERS ENTRANCE.
PEOPLE HAD
TO GO TO
THE FOUNTAINS TO GET WATER
TO DRINK, TO COOK....
THE PAERIA GOVERNORS
DECIDED
TO BUILD A
RESERVOIR
TO CHECK
AND
CONTROL
WATER
BEFORE
ARRIVING TO
THE FOUNTAIN.
THE KING OF
SPAIN,
“CARLES III”
GAVE
MONEY FOR ITS
CONSTRUCTION.
THE WATER IN THE
RESERVOIR,

WAS CONDUCTED TO
THE FOUNTAINS IN
