Anti-pipeline demonstrators draw with salt during a meeting between the Catalan government's environment official Francesc Baltasar i Albesa and mayors from the area in Tortosa near Tarragona April 22, 2008. Spain unveiled plans on Friday to build a pipeline that will take water from the mouth of the Ebro river to the drought-stricken Catalan regional capital of Barcelona. The plan has angered the heads of regional governments further down the Mediterranean coast in Valencia and Murcia, who say they will demand equal access to the Ebro in the Constitutional Court.
