2023-10-05 -

In an innovative project developed in Pilcaniyeu, work is being done on the reuse of treated effluents for forestry purposes

This initiative is carried out by the Provincial Department of Water (DPA), the Municipality of Pilcaniyeu, the Entity for the Development of the Southern Line and Region, the National University of Río Negro (UNRN), the National Institute of Agricultural Technology ( INTA) and Aguas Rionegrinas SA.

The water reuse process is being implemented at the local Sewer Liquid Treatment Plant. Through this project, the aim is to take advantage of the treated effluents for forestry agricultural irrigation. In the first stage, 100 trees have been planted on the property where the plant is located, thus marking the beginning of Effluent Reuse in Pilcaniyeu.

In addition to this important action, an agreement was signed between Mayor Néstor Ayuelef and the Municipal Nursery. This agreement will allow planning activities aimed at the development of new plantations during the spring.

With this initiative, Pilcaniyeu seeks to provide an innovative and sustainable solution to the water problem, promoting the use of available resources and the preservation of the environment. It is expected that this project will be a reference for other localities and regions in the implementation of responsible actions with the care of the natural environment and the sustainable use of water resources.
