The current drought that we are experiencing this year leads us to ask why in Aragon and Catalonia we have values over 45% of flood irrigation , while the value for the state as a whole is 22%. The answer is because precipitation and water reservoirs, both in the form of reservoirs and in the form of snow in the Pyrenees, have made it possible to have sufficient flows in recent years, but climate change is changing these guarantees.
A few months ago, a colleague, an agronomist, asked me how it was possible that with the unevenness we had in this area, we had to pump to be able to use the water we impounded or to irrigate. And I add, the water from the upper canals cannot be used to reduce energy dependence on irrigation. Energy is too expensive not to optimize it to the maximum.
Since the first modernizations or transformations arrived in which the irrigation system needed pressure, the first option has always been to use Special Data elevated ponds. Subsequently, lateral pipes have been built to supply irrigation areas that were at a lower level. A few weeks ago the work of the project directed by Cingral in Binefar was presented , which goes one step further.
This innovative turbine-pump system is applied in a RC in which there are three irrigation floors. In summary, it is about taking advantage of the overpressure that exists on the lower floor to have energy to lift the water to the upper floor.
Many times we talk about renewable energy, but we do not value that the renewable energy that always works is the energy associated with the force of gravity. All bodies are attracted to the earth, and this does not depend on whether a cloud passes by or if the wind blows one day.
In this innovative solution, the necessary and produced energy must be balanced , and this translates into a balance of surface area and water supplies between the lower and upper floors . This balance has been achieved in this innovative project, and must be maintained with the water management of the Irrigation Community.
This Sunday, Sant Jordi's Day, Rosendo Castillo shared with me an article by Chus García published in the Heraldo de Aragón that explains said system. Here you can consult the article “ Watering without looking at the electricity bill ”. _________________ Special Data |
