NOW MURCIA will take to the next plenary of October the increase of the controls and analytics on the Segura River as it passes through Murcia.

Alicia Morales explains that "the most exhaustive analyzes and the greatest security for citizenship are the objectives of the motion for declaration as a zone suitable for bathing the urban stretch of Segura that we will defend."

The councilor points out that "episodes such as those experienced last summer, with the waters of the Segura green, or the hundreds of dead fish and foams of the last days, seem to show that the health of Segura as it passes through our city is not as good as it should be. "

Morales also recalls the situation created last summer with the announcement of a triathlon test in the waters of the Segura in Murcia, "when it is not declared for bathing and therefore can not fully guarantee the safety of people who bathe there ".

For all this, the spokeswoman of Now Murcia considers it a good initiative to urge the Government Board to process the request for the declaration of bathing water for the urban section of the Segura in Murcia before the Autonomous Community, so that it initiates the administrative file timely, requiring the collaboration of the CHS so that the file is completed as soon as possible.

According to the CHS, in this section navigation is permitted, "the necessary precautionary measures must be adapted for the exercise of navigation in the area. safety conditions, "but these waters are not declared bathing waters, nor has the administrative procedure for such rating been initiated, as indicated by the CHS, which would ensure a greater permanent control of the quality of the river in our municipality, in application of the Royal Decree 1341/2007, of 11 October, on the management of the quality of bathing water ".

Morales believes that "such a declaration is necessary in order to guarantee that the recreational activities organized or sponsored by the Ayuntamiento, which sometimes include acts that involve bathing in the river, such as triathlons or some sports exhibitions, are carried out with In addition to this declaration as bathing water, all Murcia citizens will be able to know the quality of the waters of our river, and which would be subject to a thorough analytical control that will give much more security and tranquility to the citizens. "

Morales believes that the Murcia River project, by Mayor Ballesta, "must put aside the concrete and mega projects and focus on the ecological and environmental rehabilitation of the Segura, which is the first thing the municipality demands in relation to its river."
