The new rainwater collection system will use water from rainfall and put under irrigation in the area
The City Council of Puerto Lumbreras has begun work on installing a rainwater collector in the street Virgen de la Salud.
The performances, conducted by the Department of Works and Environment and the company Aqualia, have an investment of 139,266 euros and will involve a better use of water allocated to irrigation in the area.
"The City Council wants to take water from rainfall that occur throughout the year in the municipality.
This is a resource that has some unique features, and through the new collector, resources are allocated to irrigation activities, "said Councilman Works and Environment, Eliseo Sánchez.
The new rainwater collection system is being installed in the downtown streets Virgen de la Salud, Benjamín Palencia and the ages, and connect directly with the existing network in the street poet Miguel Hernández.
The works include the installation of 511 meters of rainwater collection system through a corrugated PVC manifold and 500 mm in diameter.
In addition to allocating water for irrigation, the new rainwater harvesting system will favor the channeling of the streams coming and avoid stagnation of water in the town streets.
"Given the current situation of water resources found in the basin irrigation, which requires the fullest and without delay all the resources available, is deemed necessary to carry out works to allow the recruitment of these resources for storage and use in times of shortage as the region suffers.
