The aim of this action is the provision of new resources to ensure supply of the L'ALACANTI area. This new source of supply frees underground resources of overexploited aquifers and allows, in emergency situations, to support the supply of the Marina Baja region. To achieve this goal a new seawater desalination plant is being built in the town of Mutxamel with a production capacity of 50,000 m3/day, extendible to 80,000 m3/day.

STATE OF THE ACTION:

Works received.

The purpose of the action is to cover part of the water deficit that is expected in the short to medium term as a result of population growth and industrial expansion, of the town of Sagunto and the rest of the district of Camp de Morvedre. To achieve this goal a new desalination plant has been designed with a production capacity of 22,900 m3/day, which is used for domestic and industrial use. The plant is located next to the new combined cycle power plant of the company Unión Fenosa Generación in the port of Sagunto.

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

The purpose of the action is to provide the towns of the coastal area of Pulpí with a pipeline that will cover the supply requirements planned in the future with resources from the desalination plant of Águilas/Guadalentín. The new pipeline, with capacity to supply a flow of 2 hm3/year will complement the existing one managed by GALASA, so that between the two they can meet the daily consumption forecast for the days of maximum occupancy.

The works are pending tender.

This purpose of this action is aimed at the link between the distribution network of the Águilas desalination plant and the irrigation network of the Irrigation Community of Puerto Lumbreras, in order to properly manage the new water resources granted.

As a solution for this link, the construction of a reservoir with a 40,000m3 intake capacity is planned, where the water will pour from Cerro Colorado using gravity, and from this reservoir an impulse to take it towards Peñas Blancas, to the existing reservoirs of the Irrigation Community.

To improve the current high level supply network in the city of Málaga, which currently runs through a system of open channeling together with the irrigation, a water catchment is made use of in the Azud de Aljaima, in the channel of the river Guadalhorce, remodeling existing pumping facilities, and a 21 kilometer pipeline from the catchment to the desalination plant of El Atabal.

The aim of the action is to incorporate the waste water treatment plants of Cala Mijas and Manilva to the tertiary treatments needed to regenerate the purified water, so that water quality being supplied to the golf courses and green areas is improved. The action provides for the distribution of reclaimed water to the golf courses in line with Article 4 of Decree 240/2005 of 2 November, of the Junta de Andalucía, which governs the exceptional measures during drought in various municipalities in Málaga, including those of the western Costa del Sol.

The purpose of the action involves the upgrading of existing treatment systems in purification plants of Estepona and Marbella, to obtain a quality product that allows water reuse for irrigation of golf courses

The action involves the construction of pipelines connecting the major deposits of the GALASA supply network with the main pipeline executed in the previous two sub-actions. In this way the objective of ensuring supply and joint management is achieved, since each of the deposits will be supplied from the water treatment plant of Cuevas de Almanzora and from the pipeline that comes from the Carboneras desalination plant.

The action includes the necessary distribution works to supply water from the desalination plant in Oropesa to the Benicassim supply system.
