WATER AND ENVIRONMENT

Modification of the layout and section of the principal water channel, increasing water storage capacity.

Landscape integration of the designed hydraulic works through riparian conditioning of the channel, and the execution of a fluvial park adjacent to the new channel´s route.

Execution of wooden walkways and concrete structures along the river park.

Hydrological and hydraulic study for ‘Caño Jerez’.

Calculation of the flood plain for the Guadalquivir River and the Caño Jerez, jointly in the different return periods.

Reduction of flood risk in the Mercedes Park annexed to the stream channel.

Environmental recuperation of the Charnecal stream.

Recovery of the ‘Old Reservoir’ and its surroundings.

Promotion of the use and enjoyment of natural environments associated with riverbeds.

Improvement of rainwater collection conditions in various areas of the city of Málaga.

All the actions are executed on municipal roads.

Discharges are made into Hydraulic Public Domain (Los Pilones stream and La Palma stream) and to the Maritime Terrestrial Public Domain (Pedregalejo beach).

This sustainable stormwater management system integrates treatment, infiltration-lamination and regulation techniques to control the quantity and quality of runoff water. Its main elements are:

Decanting chambers.

Sedimentation and bioretention pond.

Lamination-infiltration pond.

Flow regulator model ‘Hidroslyde DR 1100 Mini’.

Construction of a mixed use pedestrian and bike path between two large environmental and recreational areas, ‘Madrid Río’ and the ‘Linear Park of Manzanares’.

The path allows continuous traffic along the banks of the Manzanares River in its urban stretch, connecting the southern part of the city to the city center.

Within the ‘MADRID DEPURA PLAN’, this water reuse scheme is developed to gradually replace current irrigation supplies with reclaimed water.

Water resources for human consumption and groundwater deposits are thus reserved.

Projects with technical and economic definition to connect the irrigation network of the park with the regenerated water network are elaborated for each one of the green spaces.

Environmental actions aimed at keeping the bed of the stream in healthy ecological condition through the removal of contaminations from the drainage network into the bed, elimination of allochthonous vegetation, cleaning of debris and inert materials, improvement of existing riverbank vegetation and new plantings.
