After more than six months of closure, the pipelines to the agricultural companies of Bassa Gallura and Alta Baronia have been reopened, but the irrigation ban remains . The emergency is far from over, just think that in the reservoir today there is half the water present in the same period last year.
While waiting for the rains, Coldiretti and Confagricoltura are relaunching and asking for commitments to be respected. For Michele Ena, president of Confagricoltura Nuoro - Ogliastra, « on one hand there is satisfaction because, if it rains, more water can be stored since the lamination plan has finally been suspended and also for the reopening of the pipelines to the companies, even if the ban on irrigation remains. However, the structural problem remains and we must intervene immediately ».
According to Alessandro Serra, director of Coldiretti Nuoro - Ogliastra, «the latest news should be welcomed, especially the freezing of the lamination plan, but the irrigation ban risks compromising the next year in an area where the last season was nothing short of disastrous». Serra wonders «where is the programming money earmarked for the Liscia - San Teodoro connection ». Michele Ena also believes « only that infrastructure will be able to definitively put an end to the chronic drought problems of these areas».
