The autonomous region recovers nearly two million cubic meters of water to industrial water treatment plant (WWTP) of Los Alcázares, water that is used one hundred percent for irrigation in the Campo de Cartagena.
The CEO Water, Andres Martinez, this morning visited the installation accompanied by the mayor of Los Alcazares, Anastasio Bastida, and the manager of the Bank of Sanitation and Wastewater Treatment in the Region of Murcia, Jesus Artero, to check the plant operation.
Los Alcázares treatment plant became operational in 2008 and has the capacity to purify 22,500 cubic meters of water a day, serving a population of 18,581 people, which in summer increases considerably.
Currently, it used one hundred percent of treated water through the granting of the Hydrographic Confederation of Segura, who has authorized a total of 3,435,000 cubic meters per year, of which 2,600,000 correspond to the Community irrigators of Campo de Cartagena, 500,000 to the Community of irrigators EDAR Los Alcázares, and the rest to the city Council for irrigation of green areas of the municipality.
The EDAR debugged a total of 1,868,019 cubic meters of water in 2015, which were fully exploited for irrigation.
Andres Martinez made clear that "the purification of Los Alcázares not pour water into public waterways" and explained that "once the treated water is deposited in rafts, where the flows are distributed among the dealers."
The infrastructure includes pretreatment, biological treatment, tertiary treatment and sludge line, which allows the treated water is of high quality and meets all the requirements to use it to irrigation.
The regional government has invested since 2008 over one hundred million euros necessary for the treatment of wastewater from urban centers and avoid the Mar Menor lagoon discharge infrastructure.
Today, one hundred percent of the Mar Menor coastal centers have sewage treatment plants.
In the environment of the Mar Menor and within the plan 'zero discharge', are already operating five tanks storm, obviating runoff reaching the sea when torrential rains occur, reducing discharges considerably, and It is planned to build 21 more tanks storm.
The program storm tanks in the coastal towns of Mar Menor will prevent the discharge of about 2.5 million cubic meters of rain water with high content of suspended solids per year.
Leader in treatment and reuse
The region is a leader in water treatment and reuse.
Currently, 99.1 percent of the urban centers of the region have facilities to purify their waste water, which is reused for agriculture more than 50 percent, and the rest into the river as an ecological flow.
Murcia has more than 160 sewage treatment facilities between stations, general collectors, pumping stations and outfalls with pretreatment.
The regional government is working on the II General Plan of cleansing and purifying of the Region of Murcia 2015-2020 to further improve these infrastructures and make the hundred percent of the urban centers of the region is connected to debug systems.
