A farmer from San Bartolomé, who owns a farm on the Camino del Barranco, complains about the water cuts she has been suffering "for six days" on her farm. "I think it's unfair," says the woman, "I've called Canal Gestión, but they told me they're not going to give me water," she clarifies.
The woman describes the company's management as a "lack of respect and education" and acknowledges that on the occasions she has called "they have lied to me" telling me that "they were going to give me water and then it wasn't like that." The farmer reveals that "I am losing everything I have planted: banana trees, papayas, avocados and even the sweet potato plants are drying up."
"I am losing everything I have planted: banana trees, papayas, avocados and even the sweet potato plants are drying up."
It is not the first time that this has happened to her, less than a month ago "they cut off the water again," she says. She also criticizes the position of the San Bartolomé City Council: "I have called, they have not answered or they tell me that they will call me later." She adds that in her opinion "the mayor of San Bartolomé does not move to help the farmers."
Thus she resigns herself to the situation: "we farmers have to put up with it." But she makes it clear that "she wants to harvest her crop", like other neighbors who "are being given water for two hours", and asks that "they give it to me too", she adds.
She reproaches them that "everyone is watering except me", and the "excuse" they give is that "my farm being on a slope, they tell me that the other farms run out of water", she criticizes the words of Canal Gestión.
