March

Spain has been superxplying its aquifers. March rains have given us the historical opportunity to save them

by

In recent years, we have spent hours and hours talking about swamps and reservoir water. And it makes sense: a good part of the country and its economy depend on them. However, if we only talk about reservoirs, we will be forgetting two out of ten Spaniards. And is that Spain is an aquifer country. According to The data of the Ministry of Ecological Transitioncover more than 90% of the national territory. That is between 20,000 and 30,000 cubic hectometers of water that are renewed annually. However, in the last decades we have been systematically overexploitation to the point that a good part of the country is being taken to the edge of technical bankruptcy. March rains give us a historical opportunity to solve this, the question is if we will be able to take advantage of it The clearest example is Doñana … The National Park lost “more than 80% of its marshes compared to the beginning of the 20th century.” However, more than half lost it in the last decade. That gives a clear measure of the voracity of the system: if the overexploitation has been able to denaturalize hectares and hectares of one of the most protected natural places in the country, what will not be happening with the rest? … But there are many more. Above all, because for most of the population what happens in Doñana It is still distant (problematic, rejectable, worryingYeah; but distant). The problem is that many regions depend critically on groundwater and the desiccation of aquifers exposes them to enormous water insecurity. The insecurity of which I speak has a very simple explanation: the agroganadero sector consumes 82.5% of the country’s water. That translates that most of the water passes through fertilized lands. It is not surprising that, according to the citizen network of measurement of nitrates, almost 60% of Spanish underground waters is contaminated by nitrates. If the subsoil is loaded with water, that pollution can be worrying, but is diluted. As soon as the water is scarce, the aquifers become unusable. The real problem is another. For decades, whether by their own decision or by omission, the Spanish authorities have lived back their aquifers. This explains a good part of the disorder and lack of control that surrounds them. Eyes that do not see, illegal irrigation that are allowed. Wwf Spain revealed in 2019 that The four most important aquifers in the country have been sheared for years. And presumably, goes much further. According to the reports of the Geological and Mining Institute“For decades, salinization of Mediterranean and insular Spanish coastal coastal aquifers have been known.” Despite this, “only in a few cases this situation is well managed.” As happens, for example, with the Malaga aquifer of Guadalhorce, Integral studies are missing of the entire aquifer to specify the existing reserves and determine the best extraction strategy “if it exists. Without knowing how much water there is and how that water is the situation becomes impossible to manage accurately. The opportunity of March. When we say that We have been failing for 30 years When preparing for the next drought (and diverting the resources we obtain from the improvement of efficiency to uses that abound in exploitation), we refer This kind of thing: The lack of a really ambitious management framework that recovers, manages and sanctions the aquifers of the country. March 2025 and the huge amount of water He has put in the channels has become a great opportunity to solve this. We have given us time to build these integral studies and make decisions for the future. Hopefully not missing her.

If the question is where and when to see the solar eclipse of March 29, NASA has created a map to answer you

by

This Saturday 29 we will have a new opportunity to see an eclipse (partial) of sun, at least if we are in an extensive region of the northern hemisphere that covers a good part of Europe (including Spain), but also parts of North America, Africa and Asia, and even a small region of South America. The eclipse, on a map. To help visualize where and when the Eclipse de Sol can be seen, the US space agency, NASA, has published a map in which the region is represented from which this partial eclipse will be visible. The map also includes time information with which to guide us. The yellow lines of the map They allow us to get an idea to what extent the sun covered by the moon will be depending on the place where we find ourselves. The area where more darkness is reached is located on Canada and Greenland, where more than 80% of the solar disc will be covered. The point of greatest concealment will see how it disappears about 93.1% of the disc area. The green lines, meanwhile, indicate the moment in which this maximum solar concealment occurs in each area. The hours are indicated in coordinated universal time (UTC), which during winter coincides with the time of the Canary Islands archipelago. One more hour in the Peninsula and in the Balearic Islands. The dawn line. The orange lines delimit the area where the eclipse will occur during dawn. The points that travel the orange line located further west are the places where the eclipse ends during dawn, while the orange line further to the east shows us where the eclipse begins with dawn. The blue line located between both joins the points where the eclipse will reach its peak during dawn. The map created by NASA to illustrate the eclipse route. NASA Scientific Visualization Studio. Where will you see better. Yes We focus on Spainthe darkness will be greater the more we find ourselves. Thus, for example in A Coruña, 31.6% concealment will be reached, while in Mahón the concealment will be 8.85%. In Madrid and Seville the concealment will be similar, about 20%. Less than in cities such as Gijón or Ponferrada (about 27%), but more than others such as Barcelona or Murcia (around 13.5%). Animated visualization of the areas that will be hidden during the partial eclipse of the sun of March 29. POT. When will it be seen. The eclipse will arrive in the morning and the first autonomous community in being able to see it It will be that of the Canary Islands. Specifically, it will be in the surroundings of the Punta de los Reyes, in El Hierro, where the eclipse will begin at about 9:11, local time. The shadow will move in a northwest direction so that the last point of the Peninsula in being able to see the eclipse will be Euskadi, more specifically in Hondarribia, where the sun will look again fully at 12:41 a.m. On the map We can see how in most of the Peninsula the maximum of the eclipse will occur between 10:30 UTC (11:30, local time or CET), and 11:00 UTC (12:00 CET). Caution. Eclipses are astronomical events easy to seebut dangerous for our view if we do not take precautions. It is essential to use protection if we want to see the eclipse but it is not enough with simple sunglasses, we need specialized glasses to be able to see this type of event without putting the health of our eyes at risk. We also have ways of seeing the eclipse indirectly and safely.

What cars can circulate and which ones rest on March 22

by

Punctual like every week. Like every Saturday. As the child who gets up at seven in the morning and wakes you up on your rest day … here comes the Sabatino today. The fact that? Yes, the special restrictions of today do not circulate, the project designed by the CDMX Ministry of Environment (Sedema) thought to reduce polluting emissions present in the atmosphere. And, of course, the one who forces some cars at home. This is because the operation It is very simple: if there are fewer cars there will be less air pollution. As simple as forcing the most polluting vehicles to circulate less. Remember, yes, we talk about a project that does not apply throughout the country. Specifically, it is underway in the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbation municipalities of the State of Mexico: Atizapán de Zaragoza Coacalco de Berriozábal Cuautitlán Cuautitlán Izcalli Chalco Chicoloapan Chimalhuacán Ecatepec de Morelos Huixquilucan Ixtapaluca La Paz Naucalpan de Juárez Nezahualcóyotl Nicolás Romero Tecámac Tlalnepantla de Baz Tultitlán Chalco Valley What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today Once we have all this clear … What do we have to know about today? Basically, as you can check above, every day a vehicle rests, with the aim of restrictions are rotary. During the week, it is the hologram and plate number that defines who and when they can circulate. However, On Saturdays they rotate And the restrictions are not always the same. This leaves us in the following situation: Cars that can circulate every Saturday Cars that have to rest every Saturday Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another Restrictions, yes, do not apply all day. They are active between 05:00 and 10:00 p.m.. That is, at night we can move freely and without taking into account any type of restriction. Clarified the basic concepts, what do we have to be clear about the Sabatino today? Basically, that all drivers are affected in one way or another but, of course, not in the same way. This is because cars with hologram 0 and 00 may circulate freely and without fear of any type of restrictions. On the contrary, cars with hologram 2 will not be able to leave home or move any Saturday. We could say that they are the two sides of the same currency. And what about Hologram 1? That rotate. Thus, depending on the Saturday in which we find ourselves they can circulate one or the other. This restriction is decided with the latest plate number. In this case, in the Saturday March 22as we are on the fourth Saturday of the month, it will be the cars with hologram 1 and plaque finished in even number those that remain at home. Of course, we cannot forget that there are some exceptions that go beyond being able to circulate freely at night. Thus, the following cars can move with total freedom: Those that work for electricity, natural gas or are hybrid Those who have disabled plate All those dedicated to urban transport services (includes funerals) Those who offer school or passenger transport Those destined for public safety and/or civil protection In case of breaching these restrictions, the fine will be 20 to 30 times the unit of measurement and update (Uma), which is equivalent to 1,924.40 pesos and even 2,886.60 pesos.

What cars can circulate and which ones rest on March 15

by

Yes, Saturday. Day of tranquility and relaxation … as long as you do not have a car affected by the Sabatino does not circulate today. As? Yes, the Sabatino does not circulate today. The special day of the project devised by the CDMX Ministry of Environment (Sedema) thought to reduce the pollutant emissions that you are present in the atmosphere and, therefore, we breathe. The does not circulate today draws cars from the circulation, rotatingly to try to improve air quality. But that project has its own standards and restrictions. Some that are punished with fines that must be taken into account. Of course, it is necessary to be very clear that this applies in the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbation municipalities of the State of Mexico: Atizapán de Zaragoza Coacalco de Berriozábal Cuautitlán Cuautitlán Izcalli Chalco Chicoloapan Chimalhuacán Ecatepec de Morelos Huixquilucan Ixtapaluca La Paz Naucalpan de Juárez Nezahualcóyotl Nicolás Romero Tecámac Tlalnepantla de Baz Tultitlán Chalco Valley What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today But what do we have to take into account with today’s Sabatino? The first thing is to have very clear the restrictions that are reflected in the superior image. Among those restrictions are the specific ones on Saturday. Because, indeed, Saturdays are a bit special days. Here the restrictions of today do not circulate habitual. With the applied standards, the following situations can be given: Cars that can circulate every Saturday Cars that have to rest every Saturday Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another Restrictions, yes, do not apply all day. They are active between 05:00 and 10:00 p.m.. That is, at night we can move freely and without taking into account any type of restriction. What to take into account with today does not circulate Sabatino? That not all cars rest or can circulate without taking into account the week in which we are. Because, as we are telling, Saturdays are special. Thus, cars with hologram 0 and 00 will not be affected by restrictions. Yes, they can circulate without any problem any day of the week, including Saturdays. Those of Hologram 2 either have to think much whether or not they can use the car but there is a problem: they cannot move. Cars with hologram 2 have any problem because no week can circulate. This is because they are the cars considered as more pollutants. Hologram 1 do have to look at the plate number because depending on it they will have to circulate or stay at home. In this case, such as March 15 It is the third Saturday of March will be cars with hologram 1 and plaque finished in odd number will have to stay at home. This is because every week pounds a plate number. Thus, this week the cars with odd plate number rest and next week they will be done by plaque with torque number. And thus, successively even and odd they rotate. Of course, we cannot forget that there are some exceptions that go beyond being able to circulate freely at night. Thus, the following cars can move with total freedom: Those that work for electricity, natural gas or are hybrid Those who have disabled plate All those dedicated to urban transport services (includes funerals) Those who offer school or passenger transport Those destined for public safety and/or civil protection In case of breaching these restrictions, the fine will be 20 to 30 times the unit of measurement and update (Uma), which is equivalent to 1,924.40 pesos and even 2,886.60 pesos.

A recruiter has given the key to what is the perfect time to find a new job: in March

by

In the same way that it is convenient to wait for the right time to request a salarythe job search also has its “sweet point” at a certain moment of the year in which the options of Find a new job They increase. As Beatriz Gómez, a specialist in Human Resources, in a hung video In your Tiktok profileMarch is the more conducive month to find a job due to the specific situation in the internal processes of companies. Choose the perfect moment According to HR expert, the month of March is the key moment for those who wish to find a new job. This is because, after Christmas holidays, companies spend the months of January and February in internal organization processes and Fiscal year closure. During those first months of the year, companies approve the annual budgets they have been preparing during the final months of the year. In these budgets the growth strategies of the companies are established, so Green light is given to new vacancies to cover the expansion objectives of the selected departments. Similarly, during the first weeks of the year, companies close their budgets for new projects and orders, so it is more likely to open new personnel selection processes for cover employment vacancies and reinforce the template during these first months of the year. Review templates Gómez points out that, in addition, between January and February the Performance assessments of all its employees. That leaves the door open to new additions to replace those employees who have not met the marked objectives. On the other hand, many employees decide take the new year To start a new stage in your work career, so the Hiring activity intensifies during the first quarter of the year. In parallel to the performance assessments of the entire template, the salary increaseswhich are one of the main reasons for job dissatisfaction. “A lot of talent does not agree with that increase and end up leaving,” the number of vacancies increasing during this period. This hiring pattern at the beginning of the year is not something new, but It is repeated cyclically every year. Gómez explains that fluctuations in work teams and in the need for personnel are part of the natural flow of companies. The data is right This “sweet point” for job search has its reflection in the official employment data that the INE collects in the Active Population Survey. Leaving aside the annual trends, there is a constant that is repeated year after year: the employment figures recorded during the first quarter of the year are always better than those of the fourth quarter of the previous year and, in many cases, than those of the second quarter of the same year. Unfortunately, You can’t always choose When to look for a new jobbut if you have been active job search for a few months, March can be a very conducive month to find the job opportunity you were waiting for, given the “need for new additions and job opportunities,” Gomez said in his video.

The intense rains of March have filled the reservoirs of Spain with water. Good news for the Light’s Invoice

by

In recent weeks, in Spain it has rained so much that the swamps of the peninsular center are so full that they will have to unwind. A news that will directly influence the electricity bill, but for good. With which we never count. When we talk about generation and renewable capacity, the two sources that come to mind are usually solar and wind. However, there are more renewables that provide energy to the electrical system such as hydroelectric plants. This year, in addition, the rains have arrived as a gift because wind energy has failed in its contribution, which has made the hydroelectric take more prominence. How will it affect our light bill? In this situation of incessant rainfall throughout the Spanish territory, which also will lengthen throughout the month of Marchhydroelectric plants have already generated more than 9,000 GWh, which represents a 18.4% of energy mix. In addition, the generation and storage capacity of hydroelectric plants He has reached The 5,599 MW, which represents 20.65% of the total system structure. This contribution is very important to see in the coming months a decrease in light prices. The rain, an ally. This phenomenon will help lengthen the low price period, which is important for homes and companies that fear the increase in rates. Compared to the previous years, and taking into account that this year wind energy He has been failing In their contribution, the rains have become great allies. It can warm up. If we talk about hydroelectric plants, we have to talk about their storage of energy: swamps. Currently, reservoirs in Spain are in Very good situation thanks to the stormwith a generation capacity of 60.90%. In other words, reservoirs have A large amount of energy storedaccording to Miteco data we would be talking about a Total capacity of more than 17,000 MW. To see it with data, the reservoirs have increased their volume by 296 HM³ (1.7% more). In the case of the Alcántara reservoir, One of the great batteries of Tajohas accumulated 257 hm³ of water in a week, which is equivalent to 454 GWh of electricity. Conflict of interest. Although there is an increase in hydroelectric generation due to rains, there is a problem with the Reservoir management. Hydroelectric plants have an economic interest in maximizing their production, which can lead them to make decisions about water unworthy. These cases have even occurred when water reserves should have been used for another use, such as Agricultural irrigation. It will remain to see how companies They store and release water. Forecasts In these days of intense rain and with the arrival of spring we will have to add the thaw of the mountains, so the reservoirs are expected to continue filling. This situation will ensure an even greater hydroelectric production capacity in the coming weeks, prolonging the low price phase. Hopefully enough to be extended, while in the European Commission they solve the issue of Down 5% to VAT In the light invoice.

After the month of February and that unique opportunity to see a historical planetary alignment, it is the turn of March. Total lunar ellipse, equinox and a surprise with mercury. As we always say, prepare your team, be it a simple camera either telescopebecause the month is really exciting. Growing fourth moon Event where The increase in lunar lighting will already be a constant As for visibility from Earth, on a path to the full moon. When it will be: March 6 Where will you see: around the world Maximum elongation east of mercury The time comes where the planet closest to the sun will be visible on the horizon during dusk of this day. Mercury will be at a distance of about 18.2º of the Sun when it is hidden on the horizon. When it will be: March 8 Where will you see: around the world Full moon and total eclipse One of THE “MOMENTS” OF THE MONTH. The first eclipse of the year will be a Total lunar eclipse. The so -called Full Moon of the worm will become red like blood for 65 minutes. When it will be: March 14 Where will you see: It will be visible from North America and part of South America and, partially, from the rest of the continent and from Europe, as well as from Africa, Asia and Oceania. Neptune in solar conjunction On March 19, Neptune will be in its closest point to the sun In heaven. The planet will be only 1 ° 15 ‘from the Sun, which means that Neptune will be completely non -non -observable for several weeks, lost in the Sun’s glow. By the way, in astronomy, solar conjunction is a heavenly configuration in which an object has an elongation of almost 0 °, which means that it is in the same heavenly length as the sun. When it will be: March 19 Where will you see: worldwide. Equinox The time comes when None of the hemispheres of the earth is inclined towards or contrary to the sun. The night and day They will distribute the duration of the day. At 09:58, peninsular time (08:58 UTC), the rotation axis will be parallel to our orbit and the sun will be placed over Ecuador, starting spring in the northern hemisphere. When it will be: March 20 Where will you see: worldwide. Luna Fourth Mongant The last lunar phase. When it will be: March 22 Where will you see: worldwide. New moon and partial solar eclipse The moment the satellite will cross its less luminous phase and will lose sight of the “back” to our sun. When it will be: March 29 Where will you see: It will be visible from a good part of Europe, especially northeast. From Spain will be Galicia the autonomous community that can best appreciate this partial solar eclipse.

Technological millionaires bet on Trump in January. In March, 209,000 million have lost

by

On January 20, 2025, the CEO and founders of the main technology companies in the US staged their support for Donald Trump, beyond the one they had given a few days before contributing a million dollars By head on your visit to Mar-a-Lago. Since that day, Elon Musk’s fortunes, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg shot as they had never doneobtaining huge profits in stock markets. A month and a half later, The stage is very different For these millionaires, who chain one day after another of Free fall contributionsthe S&P 500 index falling 6.4% and the Nasdaq technological collapsing 4%. A downturn of 209,000 million dollars. Trump’s tariff policies have created enormous uncertainty in the markets before The fear of an economic recession self -imposed by constant threats of the president to its neighboring countries and its economic partners. That stock market debacle is wreaking havoc in the fortunes of the main flag bearers of Donald Trump. According to estimates of Bloomberg Based on the price of the companies that founded and direct, the joint losses of the millionaires who support Donald Trump during their investiture would exceed 209,000 million dollars. Elon Musk: The Tesla Suflé is left 148,000 million. The electric car manufacturer won 98% After the electionscatapulting Elon Musk’s fortune until Beyond 420,000 million dollars. With the stock indices in a state of panic for the shadow of an economic recession, its price left another 15% yesterday adding losses of 127,000 million dollars of capitalization. That leaves Elon Musk as one of the main affected by the bloodbath that are suffering the quotes of the actions of the company he directs, aggravated by the New descents in sales internationals of their cars and protests for their measures in front of Doge. Jeff Bezos is left 29,000 million Amazon. Jeff Bezos had his most and less with Donald Trump during his first term to the story of his newspaper and for the Use of postal service Amazon of the US. For this second term, the millionaire has served Donald Trump the Washington Post’s opinion column And he is working on his differences with respect to Use of the postal system. According to Bloomberg, Amazon shares have fallen 14% since January 2025, so Jeff Bezos would have lost about 29,000 million dollars in estimating his fortune. Serguéi Brin and the siege of Google. Google’s co -founder was openly disagreed with the policies of Donald Trump’s first mandate. However, he did not have the slightest problem to dinner with the new president-elect to Mar-a-lago after the elections, and present his respects in the form of a million dollars to cover his investiture. Since January 2025, Alphabet actions have fallen by 7%, largely driven by the Failure to comply with estimates of quarterly income, although the pressures of the Department of Justice have also influenced him to divide your company. As a founder, Brin has 6% of the company, so a loss of 22,000 million dollars is estimated in just over seven weeks. Mark Zuckerberg surfs the wave. Mark Zuckerberg is demonstrating to be an excellent strategist when save from stock market. Facebook’s founding millionaire did not hesitate gamble to moderation and equality policies in your company to win The sympathies of President Trump. However, it has remained enough away from it so that it is others who receive the collateral damage to their policies. Meta rose 19% its price since mid -January. However, the quotes of the Magnificent seven have collapsed in the last days, dragging a 20% drop from its maximum of December. That has generated a 5,000 million less hole in the estimation of Mark Zuckerberg’s fortune. Something that It doesn’t seem to worry in excess. Bernard Arnault: It rains on wet. Bernard Arnault was the richest person in the world for a good part of 2024 and is a personal friend of Donald Trump. However, bad results in sales of LVMH luxury productsmade his fortune lose several positions. That did not prevent him from going next to your family to the inauguration of Donald Trump. Since January, LVMH had recovered 20% of its price, but as of February, LVMHY’s price has progressively left its profits. One of the reasons: the tariffs between 10% and 20% that Donald Trump had announced For European luxury goods. As a result, the fortune of the French tycoon is estimated at 5,000 million less.

March is already the rainiest month since we have records in several areas of Spain. And only 10 days have passed

by

The other day I spoke with known that I told me that, when I was little, in the Ayamonte of the 60s and 70s, they went to school with water boots. Not only that, he told me, “I remember the white houses putting green because it kept raining.” At that time, I was not sure if it was true or it was nostalgia altering the memories of childhood, but seeing what is happening at the southern end of the peninsula, I would not surprise me anything. And it is that March 2025, just It has just converted in the most rainy month in several places in the country. Among them, the Aaemet Huelva Observatory – Ronda whose maximum historical data, since 1985, had been 164.6 mm. Yesterday, at 20:30, I had already collected 169.2mm. And there are 20 days left. Huelva, however, is simply a metaphor of Spain. An poisoned gift. Although the type of rain that is reaching us from the Atlantic is fantastic and does not have the torrentiality levels of the Danas, there are a point also begin to give problems. First because we have no infrastructure that can collect, accumulate and distribute all that liquid. As we commented a few days agothe red basin, the Odiel and the stones was above 94% of its capacity. That placed it at the level of the interior basins of the Basque Country and above Galicia or the Eastern Cantabrian. It is true that these data have trap (not only have little storage capacity, but in the area many coexit dead reservoirs Cargaditos of mining waste), but is indicative of what is happening in the rest of the country. Floods throughout the country. The clearest case has happened in the Toledo municipality of Escalona and its region. There, the Alberche River (just the one who, As we said yesterdayhe was going to receive an unprecedented amount of water) has overflowed and has caught many people with the step changed. However, more than 15 tajo stations They were yesterday Above the red warning threshold. And, if we expand the frame, we will see Floods in Sevillein The Golden Costain Vitoria or in Cartagena. Catalonia, for the first time in years, seems to drought endemic that lives. Are they good news? Yes, but with nuances. Obviously, water will come very well to face the next summer months. It gives us an irreplaceable margin to decide whether we want to learn from our previous mistakes. As explained in Datadista“From the deep drought of the 1990s, each dry period has served to implement emergency measures (…) or allow practices that were not eliminated when the rains returned, they were used to expand irrigation, increasing the problem of overexploitation and contamination of aquifers and wetlands to which they feed.” What are the nuances? The first is that ‘too much blow water’ also creates problems. Citrus flowers or Strawberry crops can begin to rot (or infect with fungi) in full campaign. That is, climate changes catch crops in different phases of the usual ones and that has impacts on the productive system. But the second nuance is perhaps more important: that the incentives not to take advantage of this blow of luck and not Implement the changes that The Spanish Water System needs. And, in the meantime, it does not stop raining. Nor does it seem to stop doing it.
