The level of the 11 dams in Sinaloa It reached 13.4 of its conservation capacity, since together they have a water storage of 2 thousand 178.8 million cubic meters. This is a result of the fact that it did not rain enough last season. It is historic how dam levels fell. In that sense, the prevention that was carried out in the planting plan that was established in the autumn-winter cycle. The area planted with corn and wheat, mainly, was reduced to 50 percent, although, as always happens, some did not respect it, they planted more, which complicated the problem.
ALREADY RIGHT NOW in some irrigation modules, especially in the northern part of the entity, they are struggling to supply water to the crops. It would be the third and last emergency call. But not even some of them seem to be able to give. This area is minimal in these conditions, but it is regrettable that some do not manage to get their crops due to the negligence, omission or other interests of the leaders of the modules and officials of the National Water Commission who did not make good use of the vital liquid available.
THE IMPACT is visible: grain production will decrease compared to last year. That will affect the Sinaloa economy. That is why it is essential that the federal and state governments guarantee the commercialization of corn and wheat at a fair price. It is notable that Governor Rubén Rocha Moya is already in negotiations to achieve the above with industrialists and the federal government.
THE SINALOENSES see this well, but they reject that CNA officials are going to grant producers more water than allotted. What is not negotiable is the intention to sacrifice water intended for human consumption. What he achieved, he achieved, for the crops. Keep in mind that there is no guarantee that it will rain this season.
