Consultant for assisting DEYAMV in the assesment of current water supply situation, water network zoning and calculations, water network separation in water losses control zones (District Metered Areas – DMAs). Control stations determination. Master Plan of proposed works.
This study was separated at three phases. The documents required at each phase were: A Phase
- The identification of appropriate competent authorities
- Register of protected areas
- Economic analysis of water uses. Recovery of the costs of water services including environmental and resource costs
- Alternative proposals of flexible water pricing policies
- Characterisation and typology of surface water bodies. Initial and further characterisation of groundwater bodies.
The project seeks to provide a specific, actionable plan for combating desertification based on emerging technologies piloted in parts of the basin and quantify the expected impact of this plan on the water balance and local economy.
Specific project objectives include:
1.Engage stakeholders to identify major impacts of desertification in Pinios and existing applications of new technologies and techniques (agriculture).
2. Identify and assess the effectiveness of all existing initiatives, pilots and experimental applications of new technologies.
A set of necessary works are suggested, along with water conservation and environmental objective target measures.
A full exploration of possible solutions is carried out in the Water Resources Management study, including hydrological and resources modeling.
The works proposed include
o Dam 56m high, earthfill
o Dam 32m high, earthfill or RCC
o Water treatment Works (major) for 100.000 EP
o Water treatment Works (secondary) for 40.000 EP
Designed works include:
- A main water intake steelpipe is 2500mm, combined with a hydroeletric power generation plant.
- Three main delivery pipelines are provided with diameters of 1600, 1400 and 1200mm. Material proposed is steel. Total length of the main pipelines is 47km.
- The pipeline design includes all main pipelines.
- The network also incorporates numerous regulating devices and management installations, in order to ensure optimal operation.
- The area covered is 25.200 ha (252 km2).
