Description

This was a project to improve the irrigation infrastructure of the Bajo Almanzora Irrigators Community consisting in the replacement of three lines by a larger one of 630mm diameter in PVC-O material, allowing in this way the transport of water for supply and for the irrigation of the region.

The Bajo Almanzora region has an area of 1,148 km2. The Municipality of Huercal Overa is the one with the largest surface area, 318 km2, with a population of 14,672 inhabitants.
