The conferences are part of the ACCQUA 2.0 project (Art with Science on the Universal Requirements of Water) (FCT-23-19517) launched by the Higher Technical School of Civil Engineering and Mining Engineering of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena, which in its second edition focuses on the importance of sanitation systems responsible for collecting and directing wastewater and rainwater to treatment points. The ACCQUA 2.0 project has the collaboration of the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology - Ministry of Science and Innovation.

In fact, the Roman theatre itself had a network of sewers that allowed the evacuation of excess water, which shows how water management has been one of the challenges that human beings have had to face in each era in order to advance and develop a way of life that has survived to this day (water evacuation network of the Roman theatre: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/cloaca-under-the-roman-theater-94985037338c44a7a24dc66c6be34c2f ).
