Decry the lack of scientific and technical analysis by independent experts to endorse the resolution put forward by the Ministry of Environment
According to the organization are not enough reasons for a project of this magnitude and impact, and denounces the lack of scientific and technical analysis by independent experts to endorse the solution advocated by the Ministry of Environment.
Ecologists in Action is opposed to the pipeline project intends to carry out the Ministry of Environment, which aims to derive the intended transfer of the water supply from the reservoir to the water treatment Cenajo Commonwealth Taibilla Channel.
According to Pedro Luengo, regional coordinator of the environmental organization "this project would have unacceptable impacts on the Segura River between the confluence with the World and the Dam of eyes."
A flight that goes "is declared in much as a Site of Community Importance and has European protection for their important ecological and biodiversity values."
To Luengo "With this project, which the Ministry and the Confederation aim is to separate the management of water and river management. Something that clashes head-on with the Water Framework Directive, whose purpose is to achieve and maintain good ecological state of water in natural systems that can meet all its functions. "
From Ecologists in Action explains further that "in times of drought and lack of desembalsando often Segura flow corresponds exactly to the volume to supply, so that the derivation of these flows out of the river would leave virtually dry the section of greatest environmental value. "
And is that reducing the flow rate by the insurance "will add to the potential water quality problems and both factors will have an unacceptable impact on otters, fish fauna and other associated biodiversity," they add.
For Ecologists in Action, "the solution to pollution problems in the Segura river go by subjecting the Segura to higher degrees of stress, leading now part of his wealth, but by making optimal water management and a strong spill prevention and sources of contamination, according to state regulations and European directives, including the Water Framework Directive. "
Ecologists in Action, also were critical of local authorities and irrigators of Vega Alta.
Finally, the environmental group has also shown very critical of councils and organizations of irrigators in the area.
According Luengo "municipalities are not doing enough to reduce pollution of the river, and allow urban and industrial developments that treat their water, as in the industrial area of White, to cite one example."
As for the farmers, adding that it is not credible "that the organizations of irrigators in Vega Alta, who have repeatedly opposed the CHS perform controls on the water taken out, ride now worried about the conservation of river ecosystems when they exercised and brutal pressure exerted on them in the region, threatening constantly defend what they say now.
