The growing demand for water in the municipalities of Petra, Ariany, Manacor and the Pla and Levante areas in general has led to the salinisation of the aquifers due to marine intrusion. In addition, many wells have a high content of nitrates and chlorides that make the water unfit for human consumption.
This project includes the construction of the drinking water pipe network from the Sa Marineta aquifer, from S’Estremera or from the Alcudia desalination plant.
This contribution has been made by Abaqua (Agència Balear de l’Aigua i de la Qualitat Ambiental), the company responsible for diluting the flows pumped from the municipal wells and optimising the water. The work also includes two tanks and two control buildings.
The project is part of the overall planning approved in the Hydrological Plan for the Hydrographic Demarcation of the Balearic Islands, which includes the development of the upstream network from Maria de la Salut to Manacor.
