The islands, due to their geographic condition of limited territory, are also limited in the resources available to them for the development of regular life. Spain counts with an archipelago that is itself an outermost European region, the Canary Islands, with unique characteristics due to its richness in groundwater and the use of desalination to support the water demand, which rises mainly due to agriculture and the tourism sector. In addition, this archipelago also suffers from further matters such as the contamination of coastal aquifers as a result of seawater intrusion, deficient wastewater treatment and a significant increase in the desalination of seawater, with the consequent energy demand that this entails. Therefore, this article has analysed the current situation of the resources in the Canary Islands, as well as the future challenges that arise, in a scenario of climate change, where temperatures are expected to increase in Spain. Las islas, debido a su condición geo...
