In order to make the land productive Manuel Raventós decided to dig more than 100 kilometres of irrigation channels to transport water from the canal to the parched Raimat land. The canal did not supply all the water that was required, however, and as the result of a study to ensure maximum efficiency, surface irrigation was implemented followed by a sprinkler system.
