The Confederación Hidrográfica del Segura (CHS), a body attached to the Ministry for the Ecological Transition, is hosting a European conference this week to show countries in North Africa and the Middle East how to manage the drought. There are representatives from Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Syria and Tunisia, who will visit the Automatic Hydrological Information System (SAIH), the Strategic Drilling Bank, the San Pedro del Pinatar desalination plant, the Los Alcázares treatment plant and the irrigation community of Campo de Cartagena.
Under the name of H2020-SWIM-SM (Sustainable Water Integrated Management and Horizon 2020 Support Mechanism), the Segura basin celebrates two of the events focused on the sustainable use of water resources at the proposal of the organizers of this European project: a workshop regional survey on drought and scarcity management, and a field visit to related infrastructures.
The president of the CHS, Mario Urrea, has received this morning the participants and he has anticipated that the days will be very interesting, since «the Segura basin is currently experiencing a drought, which although it has had some impact, we have managed to successfully and managed to adequately meet the water demands of users. «
