Maria da Graça Carvalho, the environment minister, took responsibility on Tuesday in Faro to “reduce the interruption of water supply in various sectors of the Algarve due to the rains that have fallen in recent months in the region.” The announcements came after a meeting on monitoring water resources in the Algarve, which was attended by Algarve farmers, the Portuguese Environment Agency and a government official.
Macario Correia, spokesman for the Commission for Hydro-Agricultural Sustainability of the Algarve, said he left “today’s meeting [ontem] with a sense of convergence of ideas between the various organisations” expecting the proposal, which will be presented at next week’s Standing Committee on Drought meeting in Faro, “to be better worked on than the previous chief executive’s proposal”.
Just like CM As reported on Tuesday, Algarve farmers are asking for adjusted water cuts for different sectors, demanding 15% for agriculture (he has 25%), for the urban sector and for tourism.
