"
The Mayor believes that the transfers are needed in emergency situations when other avenues are exhausted and so "we have seen in the very Act that authorizes the Ebro transfer targets specified Barcelona is made for emergency situations."
In the Segura basin have this emergency situation due to lack of water, and they themselves say bodies of the Ministry of Environment, starting from the Segura basin, "so we also need to be undertaken if the earliest works the transfer connecting the Ebro basin of Valencia, Almeria and Murcia. "
"From that point of view," concluded the Mayor, the City Council support the initiatives of the irrigators and urge the National Government to fulfill what he has approved.
