Abstract

This contribution proposes the study of the water supply system of Cartagena from the end of the XIXth century to the incoming of the Taibilla Water in 1945. During some decades some private companies searched in the proximities of the town for the solution to one of the most important problem that the city had: the water supply. These companies started the works for the fi nding and conduction from some springs located in the west part of the «Campo de Cartagena». The quality and quantity of the water was not enough to solvent the defi cit, because the population of the city was very big. Here we collect the bibliographical information and it is connected with some structures that are still in the area.
