The water shortage in Sinaloa It is no longer only a cause of concern for the primary sectors, but also for the inhabitants of the rural areas of the entity. For a month now, the drinking water boards, in coordination with Conagua, have been assisting the inhabitants of communities and rancherías with the supply of water through pipes.
Yesterday, the Secretariat of Welfare and Sustainable Development in Sinaloa (Sebides), headed by María Inés Pérez Corral, reported the supply of drinking water through tanker trucks to inhabitants of 128 communities throughout the entity. For this purpose, 31 units known as pipes are being used, for the benefit of 89,361 people, of which Escuinapa is the municipality with the most people served, with 25,074. And it is assumed that the most intense period of the dry season is just beginning.
IN THE MIDDLE of this situation that looks like an emergency, the governor of the state, Ruben Rocha Moya, It came to light to clarify that in Sinaloa there is still no extreme drought. However, efforts are being made, she said, to assist families who are already suffering from a shortage of the vital liquid. For this the State Goverment It allocated 20 million pesos to lay a supply line through pipes, in addition to drilling emergency wells and raising dams.
WHAT THE governor DID CLARIFY is what is related to the plan to stimulate rain. The president had announced the order to launch this plan in May and we are almost halfway through the month. This weekend he said that the project, in which nearly 18 million pesos will be invested, will begin on June 24 (Saint John’s Day), when the rainy season usually begins in Sinaloawell it cannot be done before, because it is a national program in which Sinaloa He only participates, but does not dispose.
I HOPE THAT THE GOVERNOR will open his ears to the farmers’ call, in the sense that the next program to stimulate rainfall is carried out with the advice of experts. First of all, the Confederation of Farmers Associations of the Culiacán River has proposed the rental of a Doppler radar with which more accurate monitoring of the humidity of the clouds can be carried out and effectively establish the cloudy areas in which the bombing must be carried out.
Alejandro Gastélum Bon Bustamante, representative of that organization’s rain stimulation program, estimated that the Doppler radar has an approximate cost of 1.5 million dollars.
IN CULIACÁN proselytizing activities are intensifying and walking through the center is to find an incessant chatter in favor of local and federal deputies, candidates for the senatorial positions and the mayor’s office. You already know how the inhabitants of that area have it.
