- The municipal training has denounced today in Seprona a possible subtraction of water from the Zeneta irrigation ditch and the malecón azarbe and has asked to justify where is the water needed for compaction of land and other works in the works of the AVE, Reguerón highway and Tiñosa bridge

NOW MURCIA affirms that the works of the AVE, the motorway of the Reguerón and the Bridge of Tiñosa could be realized with the water destined to the Orchard and the agriculture.

Councilor Angeles Micol explains that "we have been receiving in Now Murcia the alerts of neighbors of the districts where the works of the Reguerón motorway are being carried out as well as the arrival of the AVE to Murcia, for events such as we have been able to verify ' In situ ': that in several points of the hydraulic network vats of these works took water of ditches and azarbes for their filling, with several extractions to the day ".

Micol has witnessed these events in the Zeneta ditch, when a vat that operates on the works of the Reguerón motorway made a possible drain of water from this irrigation channel.

The mayor has given notice to the Local Police, who has appeared on the site and has made a report, and has gone to the Seprona to denounce the facts.

In his complaint to the Seprona, Now Murcia asks to justify where is the water needed for compaction of land and other works in the AVE works, Reguerón motorway and bridge Tiñosa, after verifying the possible removal of water, As well as in the Zeneta ditch, in the azecle of the Malecon, in this case for the Tiñosa bridge works.

The councilor remembers that "the water of the traditional channels of the Huerta de Murcia, managed by the Junta de Hacendados, can only be used for agricultural purposes, so that its destination to other uses, such as works in infrastructure, is prohibited."

For Micol it is a paradox that "while we have in the city of Murcia thousands of farmers protesting the lack of water for crops, we see how, apparently, part of the water that should be used for irrigation Huerta Is being given other uses. "

The mayor says that if the facts are confirmed "we would be talking about a crime of public water detraction" and states that "Now Murcia will be very vigilant to this case and other similar that are surely occurring in our municipality, If we must allow the subtraction of water intended for agricultural use.
