WATER CASE STUDIES: CANAL DE ISABEL II REGI N DE MADRID MADRID 6,74 million inhabitants An area of 8000 km 179 (municipalities) Urban growth and sprawl.
WATER CASE STUDIES: CANAL DE ISABEL II The Urban water cycle CATCHMENT: CANAL DE ISABEL II CANAL DE ISABEL II Overall management: Economies of scale and operational synergies through the integral water cycle services. Reservoirs and wells make up the majority of the water captured by Canal to supply the Community of Madrid. REGENERATION: Treated waste water is regenerated through a terciary treatment for use in street cleaning, irrigation of parks and gardens, golf courses and industrial uses. TREATMENT: Raw water arrives at our drinking water treatment plants by means of large canals, where we use cutting-edge technologies in water treatment to guarantee water quality before its consumption. SANITATION and WWT: Waste water transportation through the sewage network ending to be treated at one of our waste water treatment plants and to be discharge into the rivers in optimum condition. DISTRIBUTION: Mains pipes,large tanks and the distribution network guarantee a continuous service with optimum pressure and quality expected.

WATER CASE STUDIES: CANAL DE ISABEL II INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT The circular economy and the water-energy union. We use dams to produce hydraulic energy Advanced environmental processes , such as sludge recovery, a bi-product of waste water treatment used as fertiliser in agriculture. Obtain fertilisers extracting the nutrients in sludge. Manufacturing of estruvita Biogas used to generate electricity and to provide biomethane for use in vehicles. Optimum production of renewable energies in any given facility.
Other factors that have contributed to the success of Canal s model. 1. Investment efficiency: Economies of scale. Capital-intensive investments and services for everyone. 2. Tender procedure. Advantages of large-scale operations. 3. Organizatizational advantages: Workplace efficiency. Integrated Centralised Control Network sectorisation for reducing water loss Emmergency service communication network. VIG A surveillence tool
