The purpose of this action is to run a distribution network that allows reclaimed waste water from the Arroyo de la Miel WWTP (Benalmádena) to be used for irrigation of different golf courses and public gardens located in the municipality of Benalmádena (Málaga).
Works completed and handed over to users for their operation and maintenance on April 12th, 2012

The purpose of this action is to carry out an extension of the existing tertiary treatment plant at the La Víbora WWTP (Marbella) to increase the amount of reclaimed water available for irrigation to 25,000 m3/day and the distribution network that allows the reclaimed waste water of La Víbora WWTP (Marbella) to be used for irrigation of golf courses and other public gardens located in the municipality of Marbella (Málaga).

The purpose of this action is to run a distribution network that allows reclaimed waste water from the Cerro del Águila WWTP (Fuengirola-Mijas) to be used for irrigation of golf courses and other public gardens located in the towns of Mijas (Málaga) and Fuengirola (Málaga).

With this initiative the Marbella desalination plant starts operating with an annual water production capacity of 20 hm3. The acquisition of this desalination plant allows its production to be integrated into the management of surface and groundwater resources of the entire area, with a positive induced impact on the security of supply to Málaga capital. The Marbella desalination plant, with an annual production capacity of 20 hm3, was acquired by Acuamed from the Association of Municipalities of the Costa del Sol, and its public company Acosol, in 2006.

In the Ebro Delta there are large areas aimed at the production of rice with high water consumption. When water is no longer needed in the rice fields, much of the flow from the concession of the channels of the Right and the Left of the river Ebro river is discharged back to the river, not entering the delta system and therefore not reaching the bays at one of the most critical times of the year from the point of view of the need of fresh water. The purpose of this action is to allow the input of fresh water from irrigation canals directly to the bays.

There are two types of water infrastructure in the Ebro Delta, irrigation channels, which supply the crop fields, and the network of drains, which collect the water from the fields and carry the run-off during rainfall. When the water level in the drainage ditches is below the sea level, it is pumped to the bays, arriving laden with sludge, nutrients, plant components and other contaminants, resulting in a deterioration of the ecological status of the bays .

The current sewerage network of Alcoletge, in the province of Lleida, is incomplete to cover the entire municipality, and also does not have a system for waste water treatment, so that the discharge of municipal waste water is carried out directly into the river Segre and agricultural irrigation ditches. The action is to complete the sewerage network of the town, and in the construction of a new plant for treatment of urban waste water with a treatment capacity for an average flow of 875 m3/day, to prevent its direct discharge into the river Segre.

STATE OF THE ACTION:

The resources generated through desalination are incorporated into Almanzora-West Almería pipeline 1st Phase in the header pool of Venta del Pobre, through a drive that lifts water from the desalination plant in Carboneras. This action provides the infrastructure network that distributes resources for irrigation from the Carboneras desalination plant in Campo de Níjar.

STATE OF THE ACTION:
The plant entered into service in August 2005.
