The rulers of Spain have miserably failed in solving the notorious shortage of freshwater supply, which has increased with less water available to farming, and more water for the tourism centers, particularly in the summer when farmers need a lot of water to secure the harvest.
The southern regions of Spain, around cities like Alicante, Murcia and Almeria, are depending on water coming in via the Trasvase Tajo-Segura, a 400-km grid of canals that brings water from the Tajo River north of Madrid down south, via three reservoirs, numerous aqueducts and tunnels and the Segura River. Brainwashed by the green ideology, politicians have charged the farmers with consuming too much water; the government has, therefore, since the beginning of August, cut water supplies to the south by one-third. The Constitutional Court of Spain has unfortunately prepared this insane decision by ruling that the Tajo shall remain a natural river with enough water. Enraged farmers in the South have protested, with slogans defending the “Garden of Europe” which is supplying the rest of the EU, particularly France, Germany and the Benelux countries, providing one-third of their needs in fruit and vegetable produce.
