During the celebration of the next plenary session, from the Popular Party you will be asked to show the Municipal Corporation unanimously defense by maintaining the Tajo-Segura.
The arrival of the Tajo-Segura has been vital to the development of the territories to which benefits, growth and development has been sustained largely by contributions from the aqueduct.
For a region like ours, it would be unthinkable, look to the future with hope without security and continuity.
The numbers say it all, the Tajo-Segura agreement caters to 2.5 million, employs more than 100,000 people directly and another 300,000 and indirectly.
Bathe 147,000 hectares of irrigated land and more than 40 million fruit trees.
Trasvase it linked to the food industry as a whole contributes 2,364 million euros to the national GDP and accounts for 69% of total exports of vegetables from Spain and 28% of fruits.
These data do not support reply and reveal that the Tajo-Segura is the most profitable infrastructure in Spain today there are few.
What produces the water that irrigates the fields in the southeast Spanish it is transformed into wealth and economic activity that benefits the entire country.
The validity of this valuable water infrastructure has been questioned many times since its commissioning.
Especially in recent years, from the Government of the neighboring community of Castilla-La Mancha, has been used as a political tool to win in populism, the Socialists have supported demagogically in it to win votes in a clear exercise of lack of solidarity.
The last example is Emiliano Garcia-Page has already said without hesitation that must end gradually with the Trasvase.
In the Region of Murcia, the Government is forced to work to devise measures to mitigate drought while to deal with the threats of those who want to close the tablacho.
From the Popular Party government we have clear demands in compliance with the law guaranteeing water to the Region of Murcia.
We will not relent in efforts to work towards the ultimate solution to the problem of water shortage suffered by the Segura Basin.
A solution passing through a large National Water Pact to ensure a stable horizon, which put us according to all that bring water from where surplus to where it is needed, with common sense and sense of state.
Water is a valuable and necessary resource that can only make water policy from a perspective of State, leaving aside the private or partisan interests and, despite differences, is able to build general interest.
In these dates that have been fulfilled 37 years of building this great infrastructure that has allowed the development of the Region of Murcia we recall the figure of D. Joaquin Garrigues Walker, the main promoter of the Tajo-Segura as Minister of Works public in 1978 and of course, the Central Union of irrigation Aqueduct Tajo-Segura irrigators and all who have made possible this great work remains in place 37 years later.
