Traditional irrigation systems
Norias, balsas and their story.
|
We are trying to recover the irrigation systems imported by the Arabs hundreds of years ago. |
|
The “Norias” (translation “wheel”) and their “Balsas” (translation “water tanks”) that cover the countryside are all falling into disrepair. |
|
|
We rebuild these irrigation systems using largely traditional materials and what is more, we bring them back to their functional life. |
|
You not only have a marvelous showpiece but it is useful. If you are very lucky and are fortunate enough to own one of these Norias, we can restore both it and its waterways bringing it back to its original glory. |
|
We have devised a way to redevelop these irrigation systems to meet present needs using traditional technology. |
|
In addition, we have thought out a closed circuit system involving the balsas whereby the balsa is converted into a swimming pool and at the same time acts as waterstorage for irrigation. |
|
|
The great advantage is: |
|
you have a chlorine free pool and at the same time, |
|
the irrigation system and pool are integrated into one. |
|
The therapeutic sound of water will come back to the Ibicencan countryside. |
