| The City Council invests 200,000 euros to carry out maintenance and conservation work on the irrigation canals | The Governing Board has approved the expense of the subsidy for the maintenance of the irrigation channels that run through the Huerta de Murcia, granted to the Board of Landowners.This agreement, framed within the Huerta Action Plan, seeks to preserve the network of ditches that continues to irrigate the Huerta, with the City Council being the one that assumes the expenses derived from the maintenance and cleaning works -mondas, pumping over and clearing- of more than 75 irrigation canals that run through the municipal area, providing the Board of Landowners, which is the entity that owns the channels, with an item of 200,000 euros.It is an agreement that both institutions have been signing in recent years, whose difference compared to previous periods is that on this occasion the number of channels on which cleaning work is carried out has been increased, as well as the amount allocated to the actions that their maintenance entails.The irrigation channels of La Aljufía, Alfatego de Benetucer, Brazal Puente del Moro, Churra La Nueva, Churra La Vieja, Albalate, Zaraiche, Barriomar, Santarén, Azarbe del Papel, Caravijola, Brazal Bajo de la Cueva, Azarbín de Monteagudo, Landrona de la Vaca, Almohajar, Benicomay, Escorredor Vereda de Chocolate, Alquibla del Noon in the Carril de los Sernas, Las Parras, Junco, Alguazas, Meana and Batán are some of the channels framed within this project, which this year have been added the Acequia de Beniaján -on the arm of the Camino de San Pedro-, the Acequia de Alfande and the Acequia La Daba, among others.Both institutions undertake to unite and coordinate the necessary actions, aimed at making known the need for sustainable agriculture, both to society and to the irrigator, which allows defending the competitiveness of agricultural activity.
