The students of the RHYMA Master's Degree got to know, among other places, the San José well (Torremolinos) and the Señorío recharge survey (Marbella)

One more year, the technicians of Hidralia and Aguas de Torremolinos have collaborated with the Malaga University to help train the students of the Master's Degree in Water Resources and the Environment (RHYMA) of the Faculty of Sciences. The students, led by the External Geodynamics Professor of the Department of Geology, Iñaki Vadillo Pérez, visited the hydraulic facilities in Marbella and Torremolinos this week to expand their training on groundwater management and the incorporation of efficient models. Likewise, they have also approached the facilities of Aguas de Torremolinos to expand the training.

The students have received training from a multidisciplinary perspective during their visit to the facilities, which have been carried out uninterruptedly in the last eleven years. In Torremolinos, students learned about different aspects related to improving the performance of the water network in locations with a high seasonality, due to its tourist nature, as well as visiting the San José well.

Then, in Marbella, the visit focused on knowledge of groundwater. Specifically, they have visited the point of capture of surface water located in Camoján (Sierra Blanca) and the survey of landfill of Señorío, where water is injected from the spring.

This activity is part of the permanent collaboration with the University of Malaga, to contribute to the better training of students in specialties related to water resources management and environmental management.

The general objective of the Master, in which Hidralia is a collaborator, is to initiate in scientific research those students who might be interested in pursuing a research career doing the Doctorate. Likewise, specialized professionals are trained in advanced and multidisciplinary techniques on water resources, with the capacity to know the operation of aquifers and to evaluate, protect and manage water in a sustainable manner, preserving the environment.
