The Andalusian regional Ministry of environment, through the Andalusian water agency, has awarded a grant for the construction of the future centre of interpretation to the Centa Foundation. The new facility, in the Experimental plant of Carrión's lawns (ECCP, will constitute a new space for the training and dissemination of knowledge, as well as environmental awareness, especially aimed at the young.) The new building will carry out a follow-up activity to the research being done at the plant, for almost 20 years. Aid amounts to 389.922,40 euros, which will be used entirely for the construction of the building. The increase in the number of visitors that comes a year after another, to the ECCP has led to the need for such facilities. Only during the year 2009, almost 2,000 people visited the experimental centre, so it required equipment appropriate to the reception of potential visitors. The structure of the future centre of interpretation will be as follows: several rooms of exhibits, a room for workshops, mirador, reception of visitors, among other rooms area. In the enclosure was carried out activities targeted towards environmental awareness, education and dissemination of the various aspects related to the urban water cycle.
