Per què no reguen de vespre?

There are some *finques *agràries that, since does years, happen all the summer *regant wheat of Indian in hours of full only. The *GOB has headed to the administrations with competitions in the subject to ask that *fomenti the *rec of evening.

Year after year, comes repeating the same situation. Some places of *Menorca, well identified, are applying a model *agrari very intensive, based in the *regadius of *farratges during the summer and in the hours of more only. This translates in an enormous loss of water, that anybody takes advantage of, owed to the big evaporation that produces . A loss that, in the situation that find the aquifers of *Menorca, can not follow allowing.

It results difficult to understand, for example, that to Citadel was building a *dessaladora, with a big public investment, and that at any one time allow how *finques how *Ses Anxieties or *Ses *Tavernes, are *regant each noon. As data of the international organization *WWF, each hectare of wheat of Indian consumes the same as 24.000 people, or are, all the village of Citadel. In spite of these figures *escandaloses, the repeated negotiations that the *GOB has done in front of the Direction of Resources *Hídrics of the Balearic Government, have not translated in any change until the moment.

Why no *reguen, to the *manco, the evening? This is the big question that many *menorquins and visitors do , after *indignar- seeing the big waste of water that do the *mencionades *finques, visible since the general road. And why the administrations do not act in order to avoid the loss of this big quantity of water that anybody takes advantage of? Already does many years that exist systems to actuate the *recs of automatic way. If the *rec did of evening, would save many tonnes that now evaporate of useless way.

The lack of sweet water carries path to be one of the main environmental problems of the next years to our island. It is hour to ask *manco statements to remain well and more performances for *reconduir *práctiques unacceptable. Luckily, most of the farmers show conscious of the problem and the places that carry out the *rec to full only are well identified.
