The deputy of the Socialist parliamentary group, Jesus Navarro, denounced the unfortunate situation where the Mula river and demand is the Hydrographic Confederation of Segura and the Ministry to carry out the actions necessary to ensure the maintenance of ecological flow and health perming same, to ensure its continuity.

The Mula river has a catchment area of ​​64 kilometers, at a rate that is historically suffering a situation of water scarcity has meant that the channel remains dry in important sections, especially in the area downstream from La Puebla de Mula, where the channels of the river Mula and Pliego meet.

"This situation is exacerbated in times of drought, as the previous hydrological year, with indexes own rainfall in a desert area, but also by overexploitation of the waters of this basin that has an abundance of wells and, more recently, also for the containment of Pliego river flows through the dam of the same name ".

The consequence is that the water needs to run along the bed of the river Mula is nonexistent in large sections, so that besides the problem already outlined the lack of flows to comply with the concessions assigned to the different communities of irrigators, like Campos del Río for example, unsafe situations and environmental damage difficult to remedy, in addition to the problems arising from the lack of cleanliness and adequacy of the channel to mitigate possible effects of floods and avenues that may occur occur.

Therefore, the Socialist deputy requires the Hydrographic Confederation of Segura to take measures to enable increased control and monitoring of the use of river flow to prevent opening of wells and illegal logging, and to establish the obligation to the communities of irrigators to install mechanisms of control over the flow used.

Also it calls on the Hydrographic Confederation of Segura to establish a system to ensure minimum flows for irrigation to all communities of irrigators who have recognized its right, in order to ensure the crops.

It also urges turn to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment to increase the budget for cleaning, maintenance and environmental rehabilitation runway Mula river.

Finally Navarro also referred as an "exceptional situation" that suffered the Baths of Mula, "who recently had a flow rate of 40 liters per second and now is only 10-11 liters per second, which prevents normal operation, although its hotel facilities are a minimum performance. "
