For the tenth year running, students have received training relating to the municipal water network from a multidisciplinary perspective

Experts from Aguas de Torremolinos have collaborated with the University of Málaga to help train students on the Faculty of Science's master's degree programme on Water Resources and the Environment. Students, directed by the tenured lecturer in External Geodynamics from the Department of Geology, Iñaki Vadillo Pérez, visited Aguas de Torremolinos' facilities this week to expand their training in the correct management of groundwater and the incorporation of efficient models that have been implemented in the town.

During these visits, which were carried out for the tenth year running, students received training on the municipal water network from a multidisciplinary perspective. In particular, aspects were discussed relating to improving water performance rates in a town that is highly seasonal due to tourism.

This activity is part of permanent collaboration with the University of Málaga, to contribute to better training of students in specialised areas associated with water resource and environmental management.

The experience began with theoretical training in the educA room of Aguas de Torremolinos, led by company experts. Then, students visited the remote control centre: the place where the volume of water that circulates in each sector and processes associated with sustainable water management are controlled. After that, students went to the San José II tank.

The general aim of the master's degree is to introduce scientific research to students who may be interested in continuing with a research career until doctoral level. In addition, training is provided for professionals specialised in advanced, multidisciplinary techniques relating to water resources, with the capacity to understand the way aquifers work and to assess, protect and manage water sustainably while preserving the environment.
