Ten Answers on Substitute Reserves, aka « basins » par Caracterres – Rural news in New Aquitaine
Gleaned from the canvas 979
There is a subtitle, ” Decryption “, And this ” Everything you want to know regarding reservations without daring to (re)ask by Mrs. Chloé Poitau does her credit.
In capo:
« Whether they are called substitution reserves or basins, these water storage solutions, planned for the Sèvre Niortaise-Mignon basin, are divisive. To shed light on the debate, a look back at several essential points to know regarding this unprecedented project. »
Bon, « the project is not really new, but who cares.
The ten questions:
1 – What is the genesis of the project?
2 – Which area is affected?
3 – Why this solution rather than another?
4 – What is an irrigant?
5 – What are the known precedents on this type of project?
6 – What is the Coop de l’eau 79?
7 – What is the protocol for sustainable agriculture?
8 – Who decides on the sharing of water, and the restrictions, in the Sèvre Niortaise-Mignon basin?
9 – Where are we in the calendar?
10 – Why funding 60 to 70% with public money?
It’s superbly done. Here is the answer to the last question:
« The reserve project – and its protocol for sustainable agriculture – is a bet on territory to adapt to the climate change and ensure a locally produced food. The State thus provides funds to maintain an agriculture that feeds its territory, secure access to water and support agricultural installations, while accelerating the agro-ecological transition. It is one lever among others to face the current challenges of food sovereignty. »
