BENIDORM’S mayor Toni Perez came out strongly in support of the Tajo-Segura aqueduct.
Bringing vital water for agricultural growers in the Vega Baja and other areas in southern Alicante province, this does not directly affect Benidorm but Perez attended a recent Zoom meeting of the Provincial Water Commission, to which he belongs.
The Commission has unanimously backed a technical report from SCRATS, the syndicate of growers who depend on water transfers to the area.
The report maintained that increasing the Tajo’s ecological flow – the amount of water needed to sustain aquatic life and a river’s ecosystem – could gravely affect the transfer.
It would reduce transfers by 20 per cent from an annual average of 340 cubic hectometres to 271 cubic hectometres.
Carlos Mazon, president of Alicante’s provincial council, the Diputacion, thanked all attending the Zoom meeting for their unity in tackling the problem.
He revealed that he intends, as Diputacion president, to request a meeting with Teresa Ribera, the central government’s Environment minister, putting forward the findings of the SCRATS report and Alicante province’s position.
This, he will explain to Ribera, would be the basis of a formal appeal against increasing the Tajo’s ecological flow.
