IU-Verdes asks the City Council to urge the Community of Lorca Irrigators to cover a canal that endangers the lives of people and animals (21/06/2017)

The Councilor of United Left Greens in the City of Lorca, Gloria Martín, today demanded the covering of the channel of clear waters that runs from the marsh of Puentes to the House Mata, in the section of approximately 20 kilometers that runs between said reservoir And El Salto.

After the floods of 2012, the Government of Spain approved to exempt all the irrigators of the municipal term of Lorca from the fixed and variable costs that had paid for the irrigations done that year in their lost harvests, which meant a saving of about 3.5 million euros for the Lorca Community of Irrigators, which would decide the destination of that amount, according to the local government team of the PP reported at that time.

The directive of the Community of Irrigators of Lorca proposed to its associates to compensate them for the damages caused by the heavy rains and that the remaining capital was destined to other actions of the entity, among them to cover this infrastructure.

Nevertheless, five years later this work has not materialized which causes important losses to some farmers by the fall of animals to the channel that becomes a "mortal trap".

In addition to dogs or wild boars, this infrastructure, which is two meters deep and 1.5 meters wide, usually falls sheep and goats whose corpses can not be recovered because they disappear "mysteriously".

Apart from the economic loss (each issue costs around 100 euros and there are times when more than five have been lost at the same time), the ranchers are faced with the problem of not being able to delete them from the relevant records Retrieve the electronic identification chip from the animals.

This work is also a clear risk for people who practice sports in the area, especially cyclists, children or elderly, lacking protection barriers.

"If someone falls to the channel and is stunned, they can put their life at risk because they do not exist
