IU-Greens reject the attitude "merely revenue-raising" of the Ministry of Agriculture and farmers totaneros CHS (23/08/2013)

The fines imposed by the Ministry of Agriculture and the Segura basin Raiguero many Totana owners irrigate land irrigated by consolidated, in addition to remedies some irrigation communities show, according to IU in Totana a tax collection effort of Central Government will not inure to the benefit of agricultural production and threatening much of the agricultural production in the municipality.

"As we denounce a few months ago, in the Municipal Group of IU-Greens City of Totana have had access to new data on the groundwater situation in the area Guadalentin Valley".

According to Councilman Pedro Martinez, "this new information show that there are strategies for the exploitation of groundwater in this area that are inefficient and also involve large losses for local farmers including farmers in the municipality Totana ".

"Meanwhile, Segura basin (CHS) maintains a purely monetarist policy based on sanctions both farmers and irrigation communities. Such sanctions will not inure to the benefit of agricultural production and threatening other good part of agricultural production in the municipality. Moreover CHS is not performing any work on the line to make more efficient and economical utilization of these important resources for the sector, especially in these times of crisis ", reported from IU-green in a statement.

"Recently, many farmers have reported Raiguero Bass and Alto de Totana Raiguero heavy penalties for consolidated water irrigated land for tens of years if they were outside of the irrigation area of ​​the Tajo-Segura. Moreover, we have also reported strong Owner sanctions wells that in some cases around one million euros. "

The feeling I have in UI, adds Pedro Martinez, is that "the government of the nation (People's Party) does not know where raise and now where the only truly dynamic industry of our region is agriculture because there plans to raise ".

"From IU have been denouncing the lack of updated information and transparent state Guadalentin aquifer and surface irrigation. Unannounced Now, they want to raise penalties for the last thirty years, without notice", the statement added.

"Moreover, in many cases we are seeing that drilling to extract groundwater have drilled the first layer are extracting groundwater and very expensive water in lower layers."

Therefore, according to the mayor totanero, "the lack of guidelines on the design of a strategy of drilling and groundwater use efficiency (it is for the CHS) is making drilling to extract groundwater pierce the first layer extract groundwater and water in a very expensive, with consequent benefits for utilities. "

"It is also necessary to highlight the possibilities of use of this water by farmers with very little water wells that could be used for watering the cattle with the permission of very low flow wells that could be used for watering the cattle that are registered by the Confederation.'s refusal CHS licenses to such causes small farmers have to use water "municipal" with the resulting revenue to city coffers in the CHS collection effort and strangulation of the small farmer and rancher " , added from IU-green.

From IU-LV in Totana, Pedro Martinez concludes, "We demand the Ministry of Agriculture and the CHS to remove the huge penalties made unilaterally and indiscriminately to farmers and owners of wells Totana and established along with irrigators and ranchers measures designed to promote greater accessibility of farmers and ranchers a resource as precious as water is also a source of wealth for many households devoted to field and livestock ".
