The role of desalination in IRBM

WEX-Global session on "Water Reuse, Desalination and New Water Resources", sponsored by Dupont.

The panel was formed with Harith Alomar (DuPont) Miguel Angel Sanz  (Suez) Jorge J. Malfeito (Acciona), TAHRI Khalid (ONEE) and Enrique Cifres (eWATER). 


We had the chance for sharing our experience integrating #Desalination in Complex Water Resources Systems (#IWRM) as Mallorca Island, Marina Baja or Segura River Basin in Spain.
WEX Global was held in Valencia, dealing with Smart Circular Economy last 27-29 June.

Mutxamel desalination plant provides drinking water supply to Alicante metropolitan area, liberating resources from Taibilla system for the benefit of upstream cities, but also gives warranty for Benidorm and Marina Baja county, having WR enough but with unbearable risk of fail of service.


Torrevieja desalination plant is about to extend its service to inland communities entering into the complex Segura River Basin System in wich Segura river water resources, transferts from Tagus river, underground aquifers are complemented with a highest rate of reuse in Europe and several desalination facilities. Among them, Torrevieja SWDP plays a major role in providing water and warranty both for irrigation and tourism's demands.
