Due to CLIMATE CHANGE, which we often find difficult to accept, we have to assume that the concern for water is becoming more and more evident every day. Rainfall is increasingly scarce, and therefore the accumulation of water in the reservoirs is more difficult. Perhaps sooner rather than later, if the situation is not reversed, we will see irrigated olive groves forcibly converted to rainfed olive groves. Having said that, I cannot understand that there are still areas where the administration has given permission to irrigate by flooding, wasting enormous quantities of the precious liquid, and that, on the other hand, no means are being put in place to improve irrigation systems and take advantage of water which is becoming more precious and precarious by the day. However, it must also be said that it is up to the conscience of each and every one of us to look after this resource. I appeal from here for responsibility in the use of WATER.
