The president of the College of Agricultural Engineers in the Region of Murcia (COITARM), Irene Moon Guillén, assists the XXVII National Irrigation Congress, in charge of moderating several technical sessions in which experts attempt to show future technologies that will optimize irrigation water that goes to grow crops and get maximum use.
Held in the Auditorium and Congress Center Victor Villegas under the motto "Irrigation, motor development and source of food '
The Agricultural Engineers Association in the Region of Murcia actively participates in the celebration of the XXVII National Irrigation Congress, held tomorrow under the theme "Irrigation, motor development and food source," through its President, Irene Guillen Moon, who is in charge of moderating several technical papers.
According to Guillén Moon, "the fact of conducting such meetings facilitate the exchange of information between professionals engaged in research in this field as well as the disclosure of this information to agricultural producers Murcia You may reduce economic costs are high. "
Also, "is also a special event because the agriculture sector has a strategic position in the economy Murcia.
And therefore, the introduction of any improvement in irrigation infrastructure is key to agricultural production more competitive, "said the president of COITARM said.
In these processes the water becomes the determining factor for growth.
The Murcia region is situated in recent years at the head of the effective management of this resource, despite being a scarce commodity.
It is also the first community in Spain and Europe in recycling water for irrigation with more than 100 hm 3.
That is why the application of sophisticated techniques allow agriculture in Murcia to become an engine of development and growth could promote an important part of the economy of the region, while a reference in the management of water saving their irrigated land, of which gets 90 percent of total production and, in turn, translates into exports that amount to 20 percent of the total of Spain.
In Congress, which opened yesterday by the Board of Agriculture and Water, Antonio Cerdá, will address a total of 78 papers divided into four main sections: Agrohidrología hydraulic and agricultural irrigation water, sanitation, drainage and environmental impacts; Engineering modernization of irrigation and management, law and economics of irrigation.
During these days are going to participate some 500 people, most of technicians and experts in the field as engineers, biologists, irrigation specialists, economists and lawyers, from agronomists schools, the university and Administration .
Tomorrow is expected that members of Congress made a series of visits covering irrigation facilities of the Campo de Cartagena, manufacturing companies irrigation equipment, the experimental farm of El Mirador and a sewage treatment plant last generation to know in situ water reuse systems by farmers.
These demonstrations are supplemented by an exhibition of machinery and latest technology items organized irrigation companies in the Auditorium.
