The proposal for a pilot network from public drinking water sources on the English Way to Santiago is to offer pilgrims [1] a safe micro-supply point, so that they can fill a half-liter canteen with a certain frequency, approximately every 6 km.
In this way, a shipping point model has been defined with a uniform and recognizable design for the entire journey, with two possibilities regarding the origin of the water. [2]
- Case A: (24) fountains connected to a controlled supply network.
- Case B: (4) natural fountains with treatment for purification.

[1] Although it may seem obvious, it is worth clarifying that, although the pilot network has been designed mainly to cover the water needs of the users of the English Way to Santiago, it is also suitable and accessible to satisfy local populations.
