After just the halfway point of the irrigation season the Reclamation Consortium of Emilia Center has organized for the first time a constructive meeting – the purpose of sharing and transparency – with all the representatives of the agricultural world of the cheese and Modena to list growers the relentless, full-bodied targeted by the expansive territorial area irrigation run. In a context in which the year had presented – already in the first few months of 2016 – a particularly dry start characterized by high groundwater discharges and temperatures above average, (almost to trace to mirror the previous one which was confirmed as the most critical of last 150 years) the spring rainfall subsequently mitigated the possible critical enabling the institution to be able to start business with low environmental pressures.
Nevertheless, the high temperatures of this hot July, the average 3-4 ° above the average and the prolonged periods without or with very little rain (mainly in mountain areas), we nevertheless caused a situation of water stress to be managed with great prudence to avoid nell’incombente danger of a lack of resources for our traditional crops and for the agricultural sector.
the number of activities carried out and still being that the Consortium has listed the agricultural associations Coldiretti, Confagricoltura CIA and present complete with officials and presidents (Fausto Castagnetti, Vito Amendolara, Marcello Bonvicini, Roberto Iotti, Antenor Deer, Without Antonio, Mario Bottura, Giulio Merighi and David Setti) they are the important ones. The data that has most impressed those present was that relating to the 102 852 363 000 cubic meters of water withdrawn from the various derivations current and fed into the dense network of 2500 km of drainage canals to irrigation purposes full support of the agri-food sector . The food is in fact now more than ever irrigation and the correlation is direct, and the true value and the relationship between resource provider and manufacturer that makes proper use. A relationship of mutual exchange more and more constructive if the way is also characterized by an open discussion aimed at identifying possible problems, solutions, appropriate action.
“ The purpose of ‘meeting – said the Regional Commissioner Central Emilia Franco Zambelli – is to be able to count on a consortium participated in that provides the agricultural world not only the necessary resource but also the great wealth of technical and scientific expertise which has the Consortium. for this reason the reports of farmers are fundamental to progressively adapt irrigated actions to be taken and to be taken into consideration for the next years. “
Until now irrigated requests to the Consortium by agricultural enterprises have been more than 10,100 and lapped and irrigated areas that have constant need of water by Emilia Central have reached 21,846 (Ha) hectares . major energy savings determined by the meticulous management of the resource also particularly relevant through the sophisticated technology of remote control system and climate through the vintage more forgiving: the most obvious today is the 42.40% recorded in the plant scooping Boretto . Of note among the problems even the occurrence of many “fontanazzi” that cause a great deal of additional work force by the consortium and workers who have added so far about 2,000 hours additional precisely to curb this phenomenon. Satisfied with the vintage trend irrigation, but always with the high guard of possible variations, even the Domenico Turazza of the Consortium Director and Engineer Paola Zanetti constantly informed – in real time – on multiple monitors transmitted from all of the area of competence leads.
“ Among the peculiarities of this season said Paola Zanetti – c is’ also the novelty of the important use for irrigation of water from Iren Mancasale purification which serves 260 plots of irrigated crops for an extension of 820 hectares from which came 200 service requests we have satisfied immediately. ” This service – which is now at about 50% of its potential to supply – in a few years will allow the territory to be able to rely on a water supply in millions of cubic meters, about 6, which is the same that would ensure a medium dam and large. the Reggio Emilia and Modena met encounter farmers have pointed out their specific demands in different target points, and all renewed their appointment for a budget end of the season at the end of the irrigation activities.
