Water infrastructure projects implemented in Híjar and Zapopan

In Híjar, Spain, new water reservoirs with a capacity of 2 million liters have been commissioned to stabilize the local supply. The infrastructure, costing nearly 600,000 euros funded by renewable energy park investments, allows the town to consume approximately one million liters of water daily. This development follows a difficult 2024 period marked by shortages and technical failures at the Cueva Foradada reservoir. The previous reservoir has been decommissioned due to structural cracks and foundation issues that made repairs unfeasible.

In Zapopan, Mexico, a community rainwater harvesting system with a 5,000-liter capacity has been installed at the Tabachines Sports Unit. Part of the ‘Nidos de Lluvia’ program managed by the Jalisco State Water Commission (CEA), the system is designed to complement existing water supplies for the 1,000 to 1,600 users of the facility. The program has an allocated state budget of 80 million pesos for 2026 to expand such infrastructure to schools, health centers, and markets in areas with inconsistent service.
