wells provide about 505 l/s <strong>of</strong> water <strong>for</strong> a total <strong>of</strong> 18 million m 3 per year. The average<br />

total water demand <strong>for</strong> urban consumption is 6.5 million m 3 .<br />

75% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> basin area is cultivated, <strong>for</strong> a total demand <strong>of</strong> 15 million m 3 per year.<br />
