This first picture shows the oasis created from our irrigation line.
Apricots for my breakfast
This is not good. How long have we got. ? Maybe three more months without rain and.........see for yourselves - critical is what I call it. This is the water measuring point at the top of the irrigation line. !
These were known as "the love pools". El Rio De Aguas is in danger of drying up.
Previously this was a lagoon.
A mere trickle from inside the mountain. ! Happily there is still enough water flowing inside the tunnel to feed the irrigation line. The question is for how long. ?
The feed from the Nacamiento, (the spring) , is, like the Nacamiento - dry. !
Hill climbing. !
Oops - a good thing that we were able to stop the planting of 1,800 almonds per hectare on this land. !!! 800 meters from the source of El Rio. !
We are walking in a dry river bed.
Back in our Oasis
The problem being that even if measures are taken the damage has already being done and the process needs to be reversed to restore what we once had.
