The regional government continues its commitment to the incorporation of renewable energies, cost reduction and optimization of water resources
The Autonomous Community has invested 209,065 euros in two projects to improve the services of the Community of Regantes de Muralla de Archivel, in Caravaca de la Cruz, of which 301 villagers have benefited, who own 399 hectares, mostly of cereal irrigated, horticultural, almond, fruit and aromatic.
The Minister of Water, Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Miguel Angel del Amor, visited the actions carried out today and specified that "a regulation pond has been built with a capacity of 120,700 cubic meters in order to be able to store water and make it available of the comuneros in the times of irrigation ".
To carry out the raft, the community of irrigators invested 431,957, of which 172,783 were subsidized by the Community, which represents an aid of 40 percent of the cost charged to the participatory budgets of 2018.
Likewise, an improvement work has been carried out to avoid water losses, greater than 10 percent, in the main irrigation ditch of this irrigation community.
Del Amor explained that "a waterproofing treatment has been carried out, several sections of the irrigation ditch have been repaired and effective control has been carried out of the flows consumed by the community members".
For this, the regional administration has allocated 36,282 euros.
Community of Eye Irrigators of Archivel
The counselor also visited the Community of Eye Irrigators of Archivel, where the Ministry has invested 308,626 euros, about 48 percent of the total investment of the works carried out by the community of irrigators to modernize their irrigation.
This aid is part of the line established for the modernization of irrigation of the Rural Development Plan (PDR), which has European funds Feader, the Autonomous Community and the Ministry of Agriculture.
Specifically, a regulation raft of 175,000 cubic meters was executed, as well as all the inlet and outlet connections with the current irrigation system, providing the reservoir with a floating intake and adopting the corresponding safety measures for the control of possible leaks. .
Likewise, two electromagnetic meters have been placed to control the water emanating at birth and returning to the channel in winter.
This work makes it possible to supply water, without conventional energy consumption, to two-quarters of the lands of the irrigation community and to reduce energy consumption by half.
Also, a solar photovoltaic installation has been carried out to generate green energy for the pumping equipment.
These actions are framed within the plan of the regional government that continues betting on the incorporation of renewable energies, the reduction of costs and the optimization of water resources.
