With the start of the irrigation season, the General Secretary of the Decentralized Administration, Konstantinos Tzanakoulis, in collaboration with the Water Directorate of Thessaly, convened a meeting to discuss the irrigation issues of all the irrigated areas of Karditsa and Larissa that use the water of Lake Plastira and Smokovo. It was decided to follow last year’s plan which was highly successful. The conditions this year regarding Lake Plastira are better than last year but that does not mean that there is no need for prudence and not wasting water that is so necessary. On the contrary, Smokovo Lake (dam) does not have the water needed by the irrigated lands and here it was emphasized that more attention is needed. Because the last rains were extremely beneficial, the proposal to everyone is to avoid irrigation of the seedling, mainly of the cotton crops, in order to save water.
The meeting was attended by the Deputy Governors of the Primary Sector Mr. Tsetsilas and Mr. Tellios of Karditsa, the Mayor of Kileler Mr. Nasiakopoulos, the Director of the Water Directorate Mr. Kelesidis, the president of the GOEB Thessaly Mr. Korkovelos, the presidents and members of the Board of Directors. of the TOEB Tauropos, Titanio, Thessaliotida, Pinio.
