Valencian and Murcian governments call for reversal of water transfer cuts in Pilar de la Horadada
Regional executives and farmers meet this Monday in Pilar de la Horadada ahead of the Supreme Court's ruling on the appeal against the hydrological planning of the River Tagus.
The Central Union of Irrigators of the Tajo-Segura Aqueduct (SCRATS) has convened an event this Monday in Pilar de la Horadada with the governments of the Comunidad Valenciana and the Región de Murcia. The mobilisation comes ahead of the Supreme Court’s decision on the appeal lodged by the organisation.
SCRATS, which brings together more than 60 irrigation communities and 80,000 farmers, is appealing against the hydrological planning of the River Tagus. The controversy centres on cuts to the flow of the Tajo-Segura water transfer, vital for agriculture in both regions.
The regional governments and representatives of the agricultural sector hope that the high court will rule in their favour and overturn the water restrictions. The judicial decision will have a direct impact on thousands of agricultural holdings that depend on the transferred water to maintain their crops.
