Welcome to
You are in the apartment Lake SANABRIA.
DEAR VISITOR:
The source of life on planet Earth is water. Only 1% of this water is SWEET WATER.
The largest reserve of fresh water is in the lakes. It is so commonplace in our lives that we do not pay attention to it.
8 lacus wants to pay homage to water.
Remind all your visitors, guests and friends of the importance of your existence. The increasing lack of water on the planet, the so-called “water deficit”, should make us aware of nature’s greatest asset.
For this reason, we have chosen 8 lakes of the world to identify our apartments. Each of them has been illustrated with photographs by renowned artists. We would like you to enjoy looking at them and help you remember how important water is.
Did you know that…
“In Spain, unlike other European countries, there is only one large glacial lake: Lake Sanabria.”
Lake Sanabria is located in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. Located at an altitude of 1000 meters above sea level, in the province of Zamora. It is the largest glacial lake in the Iberian Peninsula. The main inflow and outflow of water from the lake corresponds to the Tera River.
It has an area of 3’48 km2 and an average depth of 51 meters. The volume of Lake Sanabria is approximately 174 billion liters. With the current consumption (in Spain) of 140 liters per person per day, and assuming a complete annual replenishment, it could supply the needs of of a city like Madrid.
