2m€ investment planned for urban irrigation in Benidorm, Spain.

Benidorm plans to invest over €2 million in 2025 to develop infrastructure for a reclaimed water network.

This pilot project aims to supply treated wastewater for irrigating residential gardens and communal areas, thereby reducing the demand for potable water.

The initiative is expected to decrease the city’s water consumption by 12% and lower water procurement costs by 45%, offering residents a 60% savings compared to using potable water. This project is part of Benidorm’s broader strategy to enhance sustainable water management and climate adaptability.
