The PSOE's candidate for mayor says he does not understand the "permanent boycott" of some leaders of the PP to the Eagles that desalination will normalize the situation of irrigation irrigators consolidated and paid 0.36 euros per cubic meter of water now it costs up to 0.60 and is of much poorer quality

The socialist candidate for mayor, Manuel Soler, said today that continue to require water for the municipality "wherever it comes" and "you no matter who likes it."

Manuel Soler said the Eagles desalination plant is "good" because it will legalize the 18,000 hectares of irrigated consolidated by the municipality and will receive "water quantity, higher quality and cheaper" than currently available.

In that regard, he recalled that irrigators Almendricos areas, La Campana, The Wire, Puri, watering places and fennel, are paying up to 0.60 euros per cubic meter of water from a well "very salty."

With the coming into operation of the Eagles-Guadalentín desalination, these farmers will pay a much higher quality water 0.36 euros per cubic meter.

Not understand why he said the attitude of "permanent boycott of some leaders of the PP to an infrastructure that will benefit these irrigators."

In addition, this hydraulic allow normalization of the situation of the irrigators in this area, which doubles that of traditional irrigation, 85% of which have already taken steps to legalize their status.

This shows, according to Soler, that the desalination plant is "useful", which does not mean we should abandon the new transfers to definitively resolve the water shortage in the southeast Lorca and Spanish.

For its part, the general secretary of the PSOE in Lorca, Diego Ferrer, emphasized the same idea to ensure that Lorca should not give up the mechanisms of reuse, desalination, modernization of irrigation, or the contributions of other basins because "the combination of these measures will ensure the water especially during periods of prolonged drought."

Ferra also recalled that during the eight years of PP government in the nation, "the modernization of irrigation schemes of Lorca were stored in a drawer in our town not spent a single euro in this area."

By contrast, in the six years of the Zapatero government has allocated more than one hundred million euros in our municipality. "

The Socialist leader also called again for a National Water Pact and regretted that for the PP, the desalination plants are only good when built this party.
