THEMATIC REFERENCE
SECTOR: The water sector in Spain employs 45,000 people and billed directly to EUR 4,600 million.
The country is covered by 140,000 km.
pipeline networks that involve something like three and a half laps on Earth.
Urban supplies provide about 4,500 million m3 per year, equivalent to 250 liters per capita per day, including domestic, industrial, commercial and other public uses.
Domestic consumption is 130 liters / capita / day.
We have a capacity in the distribution depots of 21 million m3, the use of two-day supply.
In Spain, the origin of the resource is 73% of surface water, 20% of groundwater, springs 4% and 3% of desalinated water.
PRICES: A family spends on average $ 0.60 of every 100 of its budget on water bill.
For the price of a pint of beer pay nearly three days of consumption of water service.
The average fare for domestic use in Spain is 1.45 euros/m3.

In The Region of Murcia the city paid 2.37 euros per m3 of water.
DESALACIÃ "N: desalination 40 years ago in Spain, which now has a production capacity of 1,100 hm 3 annually, of which 70% is sea water plants, and 30% of brackish water. This amount -puts us on a world stage with a total capacity of 30,000 hm 3-year in third place, behind Saudi Arabia and the U.S., Australia and Algeria and upcoming positions. The experience of four decades of work has made desalination Spanish companies regarding this technology.
CARTAGENA: Hydraulic Infrastructure Plan.
Cartagena is marked by difficult water conditions: lack of resources, low rainfall and clear torrential regime for its arid climate, which historically has resulted in the continuous search for sources of supply.
The bringing of the river in 1945 gave Taibilla solution to supply most of Cartagena and Murcia, now supported by the Tajo-Segura and the desalination of seawater.
Similarly, the historic flooding has forced the diversion of channeling as the boulevards that lead to the expansion of the city.
Review the Draft General Plan Municipal de Cartagena Management will set the future urban development of Cartagena and has highlighted the need to plan the needs of urban infrastructure supply, sanitation, stormwater drainage and treatment.
Management Planning M unicipality decided to draft a Hydraulic Infrastructure Plan of Cartagena (Peiho) to define the necessary actions so as to make a diagnosis of the operation of existing infrastructure according to the new requirements and needs.
SERVICES / RELATIONSHIP with the customer: The field of urban water services is making significant efforts to integrate their value chain stakeholders with whom they interact. This development is in different stage of implementation and environments constantly evolving relationship. In this sense, although as usual in other sectors, Social Media are the new scenario where the water sector should open new channels of communication to get closer to its customers as the Social Media are no longer an option to become a real necessity and indispensable, thus becoming strategic partners of all organizations wishing to establish direct links with its various stakeholders.
