The purpose of the action is the environmental recovery of the stretch of river Segura within the municipality of Molina de Segura. This stretch of the river Segura is quite degraded mainly due to pollution and manipulation by man.

STATE OF THE ACTION:

Work completed.

The action aims to environmentally recover the stretch of the river Segura within the municipality of Alguazas. This stretch of the river Segura is quite degraded mainly due to pollution and manipulation by man.

Furthermore, it takes into account the functionality of the works so that not only one zone is recovered but sustainable uses are also promoted, whether recreational, such as fishing, walking or other sports; teaching, such as observation points for riverside species; and conservationist, as part of minimising the potential impacts of other activities.

This action has increased the capacity of the channel on the right bank of the Tajo-Segura distribution channel through the regrowth of the two side walls of the channel, in order to improve the transport capacity of the water.

The action involves extending the distribution network of Valdelentico at around the end of Section III to connect the branch of Section III to the distribution network of Valdelentico, with the Cañarico area in the town of Alhama in Murcia.

This stage takes into account the works needed to distribute the water produced in the Valdelentisco desalination plant for irrigation and urban supply to part of the Murcia Region, areas of Sucina, Los Martinez del Puerto, Alhama and Fuente Alamo and bordering adjacent areas and to the north of the post-Tajo-Segura transfer zone. It includes the propulsion works and regulating deposits to raise line 290 desalinated water, hydraulic system distribution head with conductions that work with pressure by gravity with 85 kms.

And 4 annual regulation pools of an approximate volume of 4 hm3.

The purpose of this initiative is to supplement the volumes corresponding to the Tajo-Segura transfer for supply and irrigation that, may not be transferred due to the scarcity of resources in the headwaters of the Tajo, or at least reduce, the deficit of application of the irrigated areas dependent on the transfer, by an additional contribution of resources from desalination.

The project involves construction of a pipeline that will feed desalinated water from Águilas desalination plant to the Irrigation Communities of Puerto Lumbreras and Lorca, established along the Valle del Alto Guadalentín. The source of the pipeline is established in the Cerro Colorado reservoir, which forms part of the actions of the Águilas/Guadalentín desalination plant.

Works are underway
