This better use of resources has allowed, along with actions aimed at rationalizing water uses, that the necessary flows for the supply of the population of Lorca are reduced by more than 25%.
All this in the context of a strong demographic increase, with domestic consumption currently around 110 liters / inhabitant / day, 21% below the national average.
Meca Ruzafa explained that in the last 20 years Lorca society has undergone a profound modernization in all areas related to the integral water cycle.
This transformation has taken place in a complicated context marked, from the point of view of water resources, by the scarcity of resources.
It is worth mentioning that we have suffered from several years of heavy supply restrictions, an increase in the supply population of over 32% (1) and an economic crisis that has had marked effects in all areas of society.

In this framework has developed its activity Aguas de Lorca.
Since its creation in 1998, the company has set as priority objectives for its management the guarantee of the continuity and quality of the water supplied, the promotion of the rational use of water and the incorporation of new technologies for the management of the extensive hydraulic infrastructures of the municipality .
