Representatives of the Group of Irrigators of Caravaca meet with the Commissioner of Water of the CHS to curb the illegal irrigations They have transferred the main points to him to the serious loss of flows of the sources affected by overexploitatio (25/11/2016)

The Commissioner has acknowledged the serious situation in which the sources and springs are located and will take action.

Of the most affected is that of Mayrena (Caravaca), which loses 77% its flow.

The Fuentes of the Marquis, being the ones that more resist, lose more than 40%.

For all this, we have personally invited the Commissioner to the Act that we will hold in Barranda next Saturday at the Barranda Social Hall at 18:30 and among other points we have dealt with the following:

Access to the computer application of the CHS for immediate knowledge of the characteristics of all irrigation concessions and the perimeters of irrigable surfaces.

The Commissioner is committed to provide us with maps as soon as possible with all the irrigable surfaces and location of the surveys so that we can control the illegal wells.

That we be provided as soon as possible with all the requested information on the complaint filed of the Roblecillo estate, and that we are considered as individuals, with adoption of the appropriate measures, to avoid that 100 hectares of irrigation granted is passed from Made to more than 300 hectares of irrigation in that property.

The Commissioner has confirmed that there is a file open to our complaint because they are watering illegally.

That an effective control of the irrigable surfaces and maximum authorized volumes is done, that is not being done especially with the large areas that transform rainfed to irrigated or they surpass between 3 and 4 times the granted.

Among the various possible measures to be taken, we have pointed out that we begin by contrasting the irrigated areas assigned by the CHS itself to the larger farms (which are not many) with the surface that these farms currently have in production and which are In the same farms, to review the number of plantings in vegetables per season to estimate the actual volume they are using.

It has committed to have meters in all wells, since most do not have them installed (to control authorized volumes) and to impose sanctions on all surfaces that leave the irrigable.

With regard to drinking water, obtained from groundwater abstractions, establish specific protection perimeters to avoid possible contamination derived from intensive agricultural farms (we are especially concerned about Caneja and Royos).

It has undertaken to study concrete measures to protect the environment from drinking water wells.

We do not agree with increases of concession, without more, for potable water in the wells of supply of districts that are deficient (in Caneja and in Archivel) as requested by the City council, because being a priority the supply, we have proposed that To obtain alternative flows, until it is a reality the supply by the Taibilla to pedanias, if possible from other surveys in the area of ​​Cavila, to avoid further damage to the most affected irrigation communities or to study all possible formulas.

That the aquifers of Caravaca be declared overexploited, with the plans, studies and measures that proceed, or in any case to carry out the studies to evaluate the water balance and the degree of overexploitation in which they are of the Caravaca aquifers.

The Commissioner has told us that timely studies will be made in the coming years.
