Project: Upgrading of the infrastructure in the irrigation area of the lower valley of the Guadalquivir River

Activity:
Water
Product:
Irrigation and drainage
Geographic data:
Sevilla, España

The improvement and upgrade works consisted of installing nine centres controlled via autoroutable radio frequency and a complex Telecontrol network capable of managing nine irrigation sections with their respective stations, and supplying 2,800 hydrants

The technological importance of this project lies in the fact that all the pumping stations and control centres involved, in the nine towns located in metropolitan Seville, are connected via a fibre optic network, through a telephone switchboard installed in the barycenter of the irrigable area, with a new General Coordination Station located in the offices of the Communities of Farmers with Water Rights in Seville.
This project will result in an annual savings of water consumption equivalent to 50 Hm3, as well as an increase in the profitability of the farms due to the agricultural diversification involved in the process of modernizing the irrigation infrastructures.
In addition to its energy efficiency and the increased control of water, these modernization works imply huge social and environmental advantages, such as bringing stability to the rural population through the creation of new jobs, increased production, maintenance of soil fertility, loss of erosion, preservation of biodiversity and the natural landscape, in addition to helping to fulfil the objectives of the Kyoto Protocol on climate change to eliminate CO2 emissions.
