Balsareny drought. Acequia, which even today contributes most of the water to the city of Manresa.

This 26-kilometre-long ditch that carries water to Manresa was built in the 14th century by the master Guillem Catà.
Its construction was highly problematic, as the Bishop of Vic opposed its construction because it passed through the bishopric's land and threatened its promoters with excommunication. The bishop died before the works were finished and even so he really excommunicated the workers and the councilors of Manresa, in addition to interrupting the practice of the sacraments throughout the city. The bishop's successor maintained a more dialogue attitude, accepting the compensation offered by the city.
