Feasibility study of different alternatives for improving irrigation in the orchards of Guadajoz

The Operational Group intends to carry out a Feasibility Study of different alternatives for improving irrigation in the Guadajoz orchards. A study will be carried out in the orchard area of the Guadajoz river in the Castro del Rio, Baena and Espejo Tm on the current irrigation facilities with the aim of proposing different alternatives for modernising current irrigation systems in search of an improvement in water efficiency and energy efficiency.

The aim is to find a solution that will allow irrigators to form a community of irrigators, reducing the number of water intakes from the river. The study of the possible implementation of renewable energies or other energy saving mechanisms will allow the progressive elimination of the current diesel pumping units, avoiding possible discharges of oil and diesel fuel into the Guadajoz River.
