RAINWATER MANAGEMENT
Rainwater collection, storage and reuse

Rainwater harvesting is a key strategy for managing water sustainably. Harvesting involves capturing and storing the water produced during the rainy season, which is crucial to ensuring supply through sustainable management, especially in regions where water sources are limited. But optimizing a rainwater system not only involves increasing the amount of water collected, but also improving the soil and restoring the natural environment.
Through various techniques, we work to improve the retention and use of this water, thus contributing to the health of the ecosystem.

Effective strategies in rainwater management

  • Hydrological studies of basins and micro-basins:
    Detailed analyses are carried out to understand the behaviour of water in a specific territory, helping to identify critical areas and plan appropriate interventions.
  • Reforestation:
    Improving the structure of a degraded soil is an important tool that increases its water retention capacity and reduces runoff, which helps prevent erosion and maintain a healthy ecosystem.
  • Infiltration ditches:
    Together with proper forestry work, these ditches allow rainwater to infiltrate the soil, reducing erosion and helping to recharge aquifers.
  • Biotopes:
    These reservoirs not only store water, but also increase biodiversity by providing a suitable environment for various species of flora and fauna.
  • Buried tanks:
    We work with modular tanks adaptable to any size that are buried and therefore fully integrated into the landscape. They represent the last link in the chain that allows the subsequent use of the captured water, whether for irrigation or other uses.

Pilot project in Ibiza
We currently have a project that brings together several of the strategies described above that has been declared in Ibiza as a pilot project with the aim of monitoring through reports of the studies that describe the
evolution of the action in terms of water capture.
A plantation was carried out with a syntropic approach, with optimized infiltration systems and surface runoff capture in a biotope (with the possibility of reintroducing the Calapet Balearic toad) whose overflow empties into a buried tank to enable the autonomy of the farm in relation to its water needs.
Some of these studies have been published in the scientific journal "WATER":
