The Municipal Socialist Group recorded Tuesday a motion requesting the creation of a national decree palie drought situation we are living in the Region of Murcia.
The motion, which has also been brought earlier in the Regional Assembly has warned that in the region have already dried over four million almond trees.
The data are very serious, in a region where the primary sector is the one that keeps the pulse, have been lost 55,000 hectares are planted to cereals in the region, production of olive and almond trees are being affected, being more problematic in the case where almond trees have lost countless.
A situation that affects about 8,000 families in the region.
Rainfed crops in olive, more drought-resistant trees, you'll see very small harvest.
Livestock is also being affected to a greater extent ranching discounted seeing their pastures.
In the last 7 months in the Region have fallen 77 liters per square meter, while in the last five years, the average rainfall in Murcia was 231 liters per square meter.
To find such a dry year this we owe to trace 73 years ago, was in 1941 the last time we had such a dry year like now.
If approved the decree requested would allow farmers and ranchers to obtain tax exemptions, credits and get special aid to offset the losses in activity.
