Los Mochis, Sinaloa.- Directors of Irrigation modules of the Irrigation District 75 They demand that Conagua reallocate around 160 million cubic meters from the dams to complete the commitments of the autumn-winter cycle and contemplate a possible program of second crops in the valley.
Carlos Vega Rivera, president of the Santa Rosa Irrigation Module, revealed that the proposal was carried out jointly by the 13 representatives of the associations of agricultural producers in this area, considering the importance of establishing these crops for the livelihood of the economy of the entire valley.
He said that the Conagua has not yet responded to the request made but they hope that at any time it will.
He indicated that the request for the resignation of these volumes of water is duly supported, since it must be remembered that at the end of the year there were extraordinary rains in the upper part of the mountains that caused the capture of some avenues that without any problem could earmarked to finish covering the need for irrigation of the autumn-winter crops, in the case of some modules, and to carry out a probable program for second crops, where sorghum and other crops of low demand for water such as chickpea and safflower.
