Some relief is arriving for the countryside of southern Sardinia . After the complaints and controversies , the plant was activated to transfer the water from the Tirso , which with the recent rains exceeded the authorized reservoir level and was discharging into the sea, to the Flumendosa system , therefore towards agricultural use for the Southern Sardinia Reclamation Consortium .

« Applause and thanks to the president Alessandra Todde , to the sensitivity that was also registered by Adis and Enas to reduce times as much as possible and guarantee this precious water resource for irrigation uses in Southern Sardinia which is currently undergoing a restriction of 30% on the use of water resources which consequently has an impact on contractions in turnover and turnover for agricultural activities which is above 100 million euros", the words of Efisio Perra , president of the CBSM. «Being able to use this resource, despite the costs that are incurred – he continued – has immediate consequences that guarantee the possibility of being able to cultivate and irrigate the land . The hope, also in terms of future prospects, is that the possibility of starting the irrigation season also arriving in the horticultural district of Isili will be guaranteed - this will still have to be defined in the next few days".

The CBSM immediately urged the activation of these interconnections. " The hope is that, once this emergency phase is over, this type of solution will be structural and programmed according to the needs and requirements of the territory ", adds Perra. «We hope there are resources for this transfer in Enas' budget too. However, we must not lower our guard on the other actions that must be implemented, such as that for an extraordinary maintenance plan for the irrigation networks, which allows for a saving of the resource".

The other theme to be relaunched is that of the valorisation of waste water , "important resources that can and must be made available to the primary agricultural sector" as well as the interconnection with the water system of the Is Barrocus dam .

«In order to also be able to start the irrigation season in the district of Isili Nord, where there is an important horticultural reality, which guarantees over 200 paychecks, I believe that it is important, in addition to this first intervention to transfer resources towards the system of Flumendosa, also that of following the path of interconnection with the water system of the Is Barrocus dam , which can represent a small lung in emergency situations to guarantee at least a minimum resource", highlights the president of the CBSM. «Isili doesn't need a lot of water, but being able to supply it both from the Flumendosa system and in case of need from the Is Barrocus dam can be an important tool. The connection already exists, but it has been out of use for a long time and therefore requires extraordinary maintenance. As CBSM we are available to collaborate, because we feel the importance of this intervention as regards the primary agricultural sector of that territory".
