The contract foresees, among other improvements, the implementation of plans to optimise hydraulic, energy and management efficiency, which will lead to significant economic and energy savings for community members. Likewise, the inclusion in the contract of reading, billing and collection tasks will lead to better management and control of the water resource. A photovoltaic plant and a new reservoir are also planned, which will allow, among other things, an increase in the use of renewable energy and the resilience of the system.
The Monte Aguilar Irrigation Community has 525 hectares dedicated mainly to the cultivation of almond trees through a highly efficient and professional model.
