The injection of surpluses from the Belcaire river into the La Plana de Castellón aquifer considerably reduces the salinity of groundwater in the southern half of the aquifer. This is demonstrated in the doctoral thesis that the researcher Olga García Menéndez has recently defended in the UJI.  
  
Olga García has shown that injecting water into the most saline areas of the aquifer improves the quality of groundwater by replacing saline water with fresh water and pushing saline water into the sea. In this way, aquifer users (mostly farmers) can obtain water of excellent quality. The researcher emphasizes that it has been a pilot experience that has achieved excellent results and that paves the way for the necessary regeneration of salinated aquifers.

This research has been carried out by the Associated Unit for Coastal Aquifer Research (UNIAC), formed by the University Institute for Pesticides and Water (IUPA) of the UJI, and by the València office of the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain ( IGME). It has been funded by The Coca-Cola Foundation (Atlanta, USA).
