¿What we do in Canal de Isabel II?

Catchment

To provide the amount of water needed to supply all the inhabitants of the Madrid region, Canal has both surface water and groundwater.

Treatment

Transforming the natural water from the reservoirs and other catchments into water suitable for human consumption is achieved through the different processes that are carried out in the drinking water treatment stations (ETAP).

Distribution

From the treatment stations to the user's tap, a series of facilities are managed to ensure the maintenance of the water supply service, continuously and with the required pressure.

Sanitation

It covers the transport of waste water, through urban drainage networks, to sewage treatment plants (WWTP), the subsequent purification of these and their return to the riverbed in optimum conditions for the environment.

Water quality

We apply a strict program of monitoring of drinking water, from the source of supply to its delivery to the consumer, to guarantee its quality at all times. In the same way, the quality of the treated wastewater is controlled.

Control center

The remote control system allows us to know in real time the hydraulic situation of the catchment, distribution and sanitation infrastructures, the state of water quality and other important parameters for the management of the integral water cycle.
