The president attends the events organized in 'La Plaza del Agua', where 500 ESO children participate in workshops and activities to learn about the properties and the importance of "our most precious asset". It highlights that the Tajo-Segura transfer, which 2019 celebrates its 40th anniversary, "is the solidarity infrastructure that represents the benefits, potential and importance of water"

The Museum of the Huerta in Alcantarilla was during all the morning today "The Square of the Water", to commemorate next to some five hundred students of different schools of our municipality the World-wide Day of the Water, with activities, demonstrations and audio-visual.

In it we had the assistance of the President of the Regional Government, Fernando López, accompanied by the mayor of Alcantarilla, Joaquín Buendía and the Minister of Agriculture, Water and Fisheries, Miguel Ángel del Amor. There they had the opportunity to discuss with the students the importance of water for our Region and could know through them the actions that take daily to make good use and saving water.

President Fernando López Miras, also took the opportunity to greet Slovenian students who were visiting the Museum and the excavations carried out on the aqueduct, to be in the Sewer making an Erasmus exchange with the Teaching Center Samaniego, as well as check the painter's exhibition Mariano Ballester, see the 128 jugs that different people and artists from Murcia have painted to be later auctioned and finally contemplate from the Museum's terrace the advances that the excavations have taken in the aqueduct, after visiting them a month ago, when the Governing Council was held in the Museum's own library.

The president of the Community, Fernando López Miras, highlighted this morning that the municipality of Alcantarilla becomes today, on the occasion of World Water Day, "in a center for spreading the importance of water, which is synonymous with prosperity, progress , of development and future, and also of structuring, solidarity and unity ".

"Water is synonymous with the fact that together we advance more, that together we are better and stronger," said López Miras, who attended the "La Plaza del Agua" Museum in La Huerta de Alcantarilla, a proposal for outreach activities between Secondary students, where he stressed that "an infrastructure that represents the benefits, potential and importance of water is, without a doubt, the Tajo-Segura transfer, of which this year we celebrate its 40th anniversary".

In the opinion of the president, "the Museum of the Huerta de Alcantarilla represents today the entire Region of Murcia, which many call 'the' garden of Europe 'thanks to the use and efficient use we make of this resource."

He said that in the Region "we know the importance of water, we treat and take better advantage than anywhere else in the world," he said.

The Region of Murcia reuses approximately 98 percent of the water, and using only 3 percent of the water consumed in Spain, generates 20 percent of the fruit and vegetable exports of the country as a whole.

Sensitize about the value of each drop of water

The president of the Community stressed that in the Region "we know the value of each drop of water, and that is precisely what is being shown today to the youngest with the activities organized on the occasion of World Water Day."

Throughout the morning, the Museum of the Huerta has gathered around 500 students of 1st and 2nd ESO who will participate in the workshops and activities to learn more about this resource.

Many are based on experimentation and demonstration.

They emphasize 'Conozcamos el agua', in which the students learn their characteristics and climatic peculiarities;

'Water in our land', which addresses the importance of this in our geographical area, one of the driest areas in Europe, as well as the awareness of responsible and ethical behavior regarding this resource.

Another activity is 'Images of Water', which consists of a 'photocall' with messages alluding to water;

and, finally, the screening of the documentary 'Segura, voces del río', which shows the best side of the flora and fauna of the fluvial ecosystem.
