This deficit has been covered by the overexploitation of aquifers, which in several of them already reaches totally unsustainable levels. In the coastal regions, where the demand is mainly urban, the situation can be satisfactorily resolved by desalination of seawater, but in the inland regions, where the demand is mainly agricultural and is situated at quite high levels above sea level , the contribution of resources from other basins is necessary. To this end, the Júcar-Vinalopó pipeline was designed in the late 1990s, the first section of which began at the end of 2002. The present action is intended to transfer water from the Júcar River to the Vinalopó River, thus contributing to the recovery of the Vinalopó aquifers and their associated ecosystems. The hydraulic operation scheme of the pipeline consists of an elevation from the intake in the river Júcar, at a height of 1.5 meters above sea level of Azud de la Marquesa to a maximum level of 656 meters above sea level through a series of pumping stations called Azud de la Marquesa (Cullera), El Panser (Llaurí), Llanera de Ranes and Moixent. Once the maximum elevation level that occurs in the discharge chamber of the Ramblar of the previous route (section V La Font de la Figuera) has been exceeded, the water circulates by gravity, either to the San Diego pool at the end of the pipeline or directly to its delivery to the post-transfer, which is produced, tube by tube, in the vicinity of the Alorines central, next to the Villena penitentiary ”.
