The Monitoring Committee of the works of the new desalination Eagles / Guadalentín made by the Municipality of Puerto Lumbreras, represented by its Mayor, Pedro Antonio Sánchez, Pulpí City Council, the state company of Waters of the Mediterranean Basin (Acuamed) Segura basin (CHS), Commonwealth Taibilla Channels (MCT) and members of Irrigators Communities Pulpí Lorca and Aguilas have held this morning a follow up meeting on the Eagles Desalination Plant in municipal agencies Station "The Esparragal, which has been discussed on the distribution network and the raft of Cerro Colorado.
During the course of the Assembly have also sought, issues concerning complementary projects of the distribution network and the situation in the modified project and the environmental processing.
The Eagles new desalination plant, built on a plot adjacent to the existing plant with an area of 50,000 square meters, has the advantage of providing, from the taking of the new plant, the volume of raw water required for the existing plant is fully operational.
The seawater intake is located off the mouth of the wadi Cañarete and therefore with a minimal environmental condition, with the advantage of capturing the water quality at the low biological activity.
Besides the pumping chamber is located in area away from buildings and out of bondage coast, built in a subterranean zone to reduce the impact on landscape and dampen noise.
The distribution of the new desalination plant will go to three users, the Commonwealth of Taibilla Channels (for urban supply and the High Guadalentín Eagles), the Eagles Irrigation Community (for the irrigation of areas of Upper Guadalentín dependent on the aquifer, such as irrigation of Lorca and Puerto Lumbreras) and Pulpí Irrigation Community.
To serve different users are projected to a distribution network consisting of three lines, corresponding elevations and a raft of regulation, "Balsa del Cerro Colorado."
Driving irrigation begins in the desalination plant and arrives at the raft of regulation of Cerro Colorado, consists of two consecutive drives with a buffer.
The first section of the pumping chamber in front of the above, and after a journey of 11.2 miles reaches the second pumping station, located at the foot of Collado's Cairn, which takes Pulpí Irrigation Area.
Ends in the second drive, the elevation 220 meters, which begins the second section that crosses the Collado del Mojon and rotates towards the north, the western slopes of the Sierra de la Almenara, until the raft of regulation, to be located at elevation 365, called the Cerro Colorado.
This raft is the end of driving to the Valley of Guadalentín.
The authorization of the spill, the conventions of energy and new applications of water have also been addressed in the meeting this morning.
According to the mayor, Pedro Antonio Sánchez, 'by the City Council have also expressed interest in developing partnerships between the Commonwealth Taibilla Channel, ACUAMED and the City Council to increase the provision of potable water to the municipality.
In any case I asked for clarification of the conditions under which they will arrive at Puerto Lumbreras desalinated water, as well as price, cost and implementation schedule of works. "
Sanchez also said that 'the ultimate solution to our water problems are still the transfers but since Zapatero's government does not support them we do not want to miss any opportunity, even without being the best solution such as desalination '.
DESALINATION EAGLES / Guadalentín
New desalination Eagles / Guadalentín covers the extension of the desalination plant for irrigation in Murcia, located in Aguilas.
The new act, amounting to 239 million euros, will have an annual capacity of 60 cubic hectometres, some 180,000 cubic meters per day.
Driving for the supply of the pumping chamber located inside the plant, where after a 3 km reach deposits Commonwealth Taibilla Channel.
The drive has been sized with a maximum flow of 331 liters per second, for which valuation is taken into account the large seasonal peaks.
Driving for the irrigation of the Community Irrigation Eagles will tour of 4.8 miles to the pond where transport Salinaro 15 hectometres year since there will be distributed through the network of the Community of Irrigators.
Irrigation pipes to provide water to the Valley of Guadalentín and for supply are designed independently by different use at destination.
Moreover, the differential flow and geometric heights, together with the expected variability of the demand distribution over time of each of the applications, makes it advisable to wean both drives.
