• The project will optimize the existing water resources and get the
Segura River environmental recovery by reducing its degradation.
The Government delegate, Rafael González Tovar, announced this morning that the Ministry of Environment and Rural and Marine Affairs has awarded the contract for the project works recirculation flow and conditioning of spots in the urban section of the city Murcia.
The planned investment for this action amounts to 9,409,971 euros and the company has been awarded the joint venture formed by Sogeosa, Group General Environmental Services and Integrated Building and Construction Projects.
Given the low flow rate, the project aims at implementing the necessary works to improve existing water resources and achieve the recirculation flow of the river Segura, in the urban section of the city of Murcia.

• Construction of a pumping station.
• Establishment of a pipeline for recirculation flow, through installation of 11,500 meters of pipe length, the Left Bank.
• Running the river by a return to work delivery and a dissipation of energy.
• Conditioning of speckles by increasing the width of 3.50 meters to 6 meters, varying the flush, fill with topsoil and hydroseeding of making existing spots in the riverbed.
• Establishment of environmental and landscape measures, both prior to the execution of works during implementation.
This action complies with the principles of the Ministry of Environment and Rural and Marine Affairs, which include projects to improve management and water supply line with existing and future needs related to the development of the territories economically sustainable, social and environmental impacts, including drought and measures for the preservation of public water and spaces associated with them.
