JAVIER: “Granite (Slides 29, 30) is the most common kind of rock in our subsoil. It is quite impervious but its surface has cracks and water “is stored” in those fractures. That is the reason why there is quite a lot of water (Slide 31) below ground in Galicia.”
LORENA: “Therefore in Galicia, at least for the time being, it rains more than in the rest of Spain and we have underground waters. We seem to be privileged people. However, we have problems, especially in the Galician province we come from, Ourense.”
BELÉN: “The climate (Slide 32) Verín,
in Ourense and in our village,
is a transitional climate from oceanic, which is wet, to
continental, which is much drier. Besides, our village, Verín, is located in a valley,
Monterrei valley, (Slide 33) surrounded by
mountains, (Slide 34) and this fact affects precipitation, which is scanter in the valley.”
