MURCIA NOW claims that in some gardens, parks and plazas of the municipality is not making proper use of water, especially with regard to irrigation by sprinklers, but also in other applications as fonts.
In this situation, the municipal formation requires that the City Council review these systems for water management in public spaces as efficiently as possible and do not endanger pedestrians.
Thus, the Councillor and spokesman for Murcia now, Alicia Morales, said that in some green areas of the municipality are misdirected sprinklers, which causes a portion of irrigation go to the sidewalk and asphalt, "which, besides the obvious waste water, is a nuisance or even a danger to pedestrians and vehicles. "
At other times, watering is done for too many hours, causing the ground does not absorb all the water and some of it ends, also, on the pavement or road.
The mayor indicated that this situation is occurring, at least in gardens and parks of St. Mary of Grace and James the Greater, in addition to the Round.
This reality contrasts with the lack of water resources in other green areas of the municipality, for example in the park next to the school Gloria Fuertes of El Palmar, in which before the municipal neglect, the neighbors have had to take care of the watering.
Morales also remember that there are some sources that do not offer adequate conditions of water use and respect of the public space: "This is water jets that come from the soil in the vicinity of the artillery barracks," he explains, "which , although not potable, is a waste of water, and implies a deactivation of that part of the yard and a fall hazard for pedestrians and bicycles, as they leave a large area of ​​wet pavement. "
Councillor warns that beyond these specific cases, a general review of the use of water in all these areas would be needed to maximize efficiency and minimize any inconvenience.
