Barcelona/Catalonia drought affect on tourist?

I am aware of the serious decade long drought situation in this area and it is surprising that there seems to be little effect on tourism mentioned. I know there are restrictions on fountains and pools, and possibly landscaping. Is there anything else a tourist is going to encounter in the area due to the drought? I have read that the Magic fountain is closed. That makes sense, but it is very sad. Anything else we shoud be aware of?

Yes, I had read that. I suspect it is a bit of a double edge sword with tourism. A lot of things may depend on it but the tourist population is also a consumer. We always try to leave a light footprint and respect local issues...
