Another year this blog has the great pleasure and honor to put a bit of conservation. This year, rather, a water droplet, the good life, more important than oil and also finite, but that seems not to be given any importance and no value. We could talk about the absolute lack of water in the countries called "third" or the sheer unhealthiness in the "segundimundistas" something that is coming to our comfortable first world. But we focus on Spain, where water quality is not the same in Madrid and the north than in Almeria and Murcia (to give examples I know). In some places is of a quality and perfect conditions puraza, odorless and tasteless, while others seem to clay and refined taste and smell do not know why ...
But then, engaged in political Plans Hydrological and other trifles, in Spain no one or hardly anyone stopped to think about water shortages and the bad management of it is done. We have the most polluted inland waters in Europe according to all reports. But the sea, ... the sea salt, is considered the most exploited coast of Europe. There is not a cubic meter of seawater in the dash not a swimmer or a speculative piece of concrete in recent years promoted by public authorities (Mediterranean, mostly). That breaks the coast, the interior and the water, of course.
come from a region with the most productive agriculture in Europe but with a considerable water shortage for irrigation and human consumption. To this we have joined in recent years, the bricks, and unsustainable growth in housing for tourism or for a simple "change of residence" of the aborigines. Because yes, there have been many golf courses, but most water uses are not the same, but the 10 or 15 thousand homes annexed hereto, the 30 000, where there was core urban water be carried and water, out of nowhere, it is necessary for "human consumption." At present, many of which are unsold, but the water requirements consist established in weak environmental impact studies (in Murcia mere formality, for example) and plans. What about farmers? They are the only ones to suffer the slogan misuses WATER FOR ALL, because the "human consumption" were the only ones who have seen their crops die and those who have not received (usually) water for the maintenance of traditional farming, productive and real social good in the region I come from, is left to lose, by other interests. If no water for everything, you choose, but are no longer deceiving ... About this would have much to talk and discuss, those who know me know what I think, here I just wanted to show a view that, in Where I come from, you can not give without "suffering" glances and Philip, and put clarify a particular problem size on the water we have in Spain, where resources are inadvertently even look at other places where the needs are greater ... we still believe the navel of the world and essential ... WATER YES ALL ... starting with those most in need ... here we have it would be sufficient quality to make sustainable use of it.
