The agricultural professional organization Asociación de Agricultores de Águilas (ASAJA Águilas) demands that the Government of Pedro Sánchez has to implement the National Hydrological Plan and resolve the structural water deficit that the Segura basin has.
According to José Martínez Quiñonero, President of ASAJA Águilas, "it is fundamental to solve and solve the water shortage that the Spanish Levante is experiencing and, particularly, the Region of Murcia.
For this, it is essential that politicians do their homework and the Government of Spain put in place the National Hydrological Plan, which is a fundamental project to end the endemic drought that is ravaging the Murcian countryside. "
In addition, the head of ASAJA Aguilas has also stressed that "it is essential to protect the Tajo - Safe Transfer, which is fundamental for the social and economic development of the agri-food sector of our Region."
Desalination Plants: A Complement
In relation to Desalination Plants, Martínez Quiñonero commented that "they are a complement, especially for coastal areas, but not the definitive solution for the severe drought we have in our Region.
It is vital and of utmost importance to execute the Hydrological Plan, so that farmers do not lose competitiveness or profitability in our farms, because water is life for us ".
