River Child Care and Environmental Agents of the Hydrographic Confederation of Segura (CHS), in its continuing efforts to monitor the Public Water, has proven a source of origin of the foam that periodically appear in the Segura river downstream of the Contraparada after intense bouts of rain.
As announced last week in a statement, the CHS began the investigation by the appearance of foam in the Segura river passing through the Vega Media, which has controlled for 25 points of direct discharge to the river with sampling, which are currently being analyzed in the laboratory, and proceeded to trace the origins of the discharge, having detected in the sewage system of the municipality of Cotillas Towers.
As can be seen in the photographs, the discharge of untreated pollutants to the municipal sewerage network means that, on rainy days, rainwater pipes that will overflow into the river Segura and surface accumulations of foam.
Faced with such evidence, the CHS has been forwarded to the City of Las Torres de Cotillas, as holder of the Segura river discharges through its sewers, to immediately take steps to address this situation, so detrimental to the ecological health of the river Segura.
The basin agency considers it unacceptable that, with the effort they have made and are still being made for the Segura river has recovered and is no longer environmentally a sewer, uncontrolled discharges continue to occur even through a municipal system sewer.
