The project cost 2,711,435.83 euros, with half of the funding provided by the Government of Catalonia. This upgrade affects 8,600 hectares of crops, mainly vineyards and olive trees, across eight municipalities including Gandesa and Batea.
“"Where there is irrigation, there are opportunities, better fire prevention, generational renewal, and people stay in the territory."
The works replaced outdated infrastructure from two decades ago with smart management systems and new hydrants. Future plans include a 7-million-euro solar plant to reduce energy costs and expanding the irrigation area to 14,200 hectares, currently under review by the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation.
