Last week, LIFE Conquer held its final monitoring meeting in Murcia, which marked the end of the project. This meeting was attended by members of the project’s consortium, Cetaqua-Water Technology Centre, Aguas de Murcia (EMUASA) and Aquambiente Circular Economy Solutions (ACES), as well as by the Technical Montitor and the Project Officer from CINEA, the European Cliamte, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency, which is in charge of the LIFE Programme.
During the meeting, the project’s leaders presented its main results, which include the injection of more than 140,000 m3 of reclaimed water per year into the irrigation system of Murcia, and reflected upon achievements, challenges, and learnings.
Although the project came to its end, the plant will continue operating, providing water suitable for urban irrigation and producing bleach.
The expansion of the production capacity of the Zarandona Water Regeneration Station will increase irrigation water production to over 350,000 m³ per year in the coming years.
Additionally, efforts will continue to implement the replication of the LIFE Conquer solution in different geographic areas and for diverse uses, as well as to communicate and disseminate the project’s results through various actions.
