The irrigated area of the Irrigation Community of the waters regulated by the Argos of Calasparra reservoir is located in the municipalities of Calasparra and Cehegín, located northwest of the province of Murcia, at the confluence point of the Argos and Segura rivers.

The main objective of this modernization is to change the traditional system, which distributed water through channels and ditches, to drip irrigation by using pipes manufactured for the conveyance of water under pressure.

With this action primary, secondary and tertiary conductions for the distribution of water from the regulating points to the whole irrigable zone will be installed. Other actions to be developed within the framework of this project will be the installation of multi-user hydrants, filtration stations and the automation of the entire irrigation system.

This project affects a maximum area of 1,002 hectares and a maximum of 1,400 irrigators.

This irrigation system will improve the production quality and the environment of the area, facilitating the management for the Irrigation Community and farmers.

In this project more than 9,660 m of DN400, 500 and 630 mm TOM^® PVC-O pipes at 12,5 and 16 bar pressure were installed.
