The Department of Environment, Municipality of Puerto Lumbreras, in collaboration with the Department of Youth and Sports has launched a system for emptying the pools of the sports center to reuse the water and encourage water saving in the municipality.
Specifically, more than 250,000 liters of the pools can be diverted to irrigate gardens and crops, cleaning streets and cleaning the garbage container system of Puerto Lumbreras.
"This activity prevents the enormous amount of water spilling sewage of the municipality and can be reused for practices that do not require potable water.
It is a measure aimed at saving water in a municipality affected by the scarcity of this common good, "said Councilman Works and Environment, Eliseo Sánchez.
This reuse is developed through the Community System of Irrigation in the municipality.
The process is carried out with a pump that directs water to the trucks Cuba for reuse.
"We consider it a duty that the water accumulated in the 250 cubic meters of municipal pool and reused for other activities in Puerto Lumbreras.
This practice also serves to raise awareness among all citizens of the municipality of the importance of saving water, "said Eliseo Sánchez.
This reuse is part of the measures undertaken by the Municipality of Puerto Lumbreras to achieve good environmental management.
The municipality continues to implement measures and actions that promote the commitment to nature as reflected in its plan Ecopuerto.
