The first pipe of Ulea pass circuit has begun to pour at 12:00 noon water canal on the left bank of the Tajo-Segura.
The Segura basin (CHS) plays well before the deadline even with the commitment made by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment (Magrama) to take all necessary measures to restore at least part of the aqueduct supply while repairs the damaged tunnel.
The president of the CHS, Miguel Angel Ródenas, said that "the Government of Spain considers the Tajo-Segura infrastructure of national interest and therefore declared emergency all works being carried out."
All actions are being implemented with the utmost speed to get to minimize the consequences of the termination of left bank canal of the transfer by the collapse of the tunnel, the most serious failure in the history of the Tajo-Segura.
The flow of the river Segura is extracted from this morning of more than 1.5 cubic meters per second and coming mid next week to 3.4 m3 / s.
Pour the channel downstream of the tunnel damaged in an open area where it already has placed a barrier that prevents water from flowing in the opposite direction.
The workers have already begun to put the second pass circuit pipes of 1,200 mm in diameter, taking the water in the dam of Golgo (Ulea municipality) and the lead up to the shipping channel, through a tour of 500 meters long and 30 meters of altitude, on land whose assignment has provided the City of Ulea.
The extracted water from the river bed is driven from the Segura river by two bombs of 630 kw each.
The first pipe is already installed on the platform to be built near the dam and is now working on the second.
Contribution of resources from La Pedrera and El Tinajón
On the other hand, with the aim of contributing to the restoration of supply, and CHS is adding resources to the shipping channel through the pumpback water stored in the reservoir of La Pedrera (Orihuela) and the driver of Tinajón station ( Ulea).
Last week I began to be pumped from La Pedrera 0.3 meters cubic per second, which is supplied provisionally over 5,000 hectares of irrigated land in the Vega Baja, which have their shots from the outlet of the siphon and reservoir Orihuela.
In addition, since last week Tinajón Drive (Ulea) gives the channel transfer rate of about 0.5 cubic meters per second.
These measures are supplemented by other actions, such as the implementation of surveys, feedback and making changes points to enable the temporary provision of new resources to meet the most urgent demands of irrigation in the affected areas of the provinces of Murcia and Alicante.
