Washington, DC \u2013 Los senadores estadounidenses de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley y Ron Wyden, anunciaron hoy que los proyectos del distrito de riego de Tumalo, Owyhee, East Fork y Ochoco recibir\u00e1n fondos federales cr\u00edticos que ayudar\u00e1n a las comunidades afectadas por la sequ\u00eda a aprovechar al m\u00e1ximo los suministros de agua limitados. <\/p>\n
Estos proyectos, financiados a trav\u00e9s de la Ley de Infraestructura Bipartidista (BIL, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s) y el proyecto de ley de asignaciones del a\u00f1o fiscal 2022, que los Senadores Merkley y Wyden apoyaron firmemente, combinar\u00e1n estrategias que respaldan m\u00e9todos de riego eficientes con una mejor gesti\u00f3n de recursos para garantizar un flujo de agua constante para apoyar la agricultura, proteger y restaurar el h\u00e1bitat de la vida silvestre, y mejorar la cantidad y calidad del agua. Con el caos clim\u00e1tico provocando sequ\u00edas m\u00e1s frecuentes e intensas, estos proyectos son fundamentales para ayudar a garantizar que las granjas y ranchos familiares puedan acceder a los recursos h\u00eddricos que necesitan para sobrevivir. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cEn todo el Oreg\u00f3n rural, todos sienten el estr\u00e9s de la disminuci\u00f3n de los suministros de agua causados por la sequ\u00eda, raz\u00f3n por la cual necesitamos soluciones inteligentes para asegurarnos de que estamos usando el agua de la manera m\u00e1s eficiente posible\u201d. dijo Merkley, quien llam\u00f3 personalmente al USDA para abogar por estas inversiones continuas en Oreg\u00f3n.<\/b> \u201cEstos importantes proyectos ayudar\u00e1n a conservar el agua, mejorar\u00e1n las condiciones de riego para los agricultores rurales de Oreg\u00f3n y garantizar\u00e1n la protecci\u00f3n de los h\u00e1bitats cr\u00edticos para la trucha y el salm\u00f3n. Continuar\u00e9 haciendo todo lo posible para asegurar los recursos federales necesarios para que el sector agr\u00edcola de clase mundial de Oreg\u00f3n crezca y prospere\u201d. <\/p>\n
\u201cEscuch\u00e9 de comunidades rurales alrededor de Oreg\u00f3n sobre su necesidad desesperada de recursos para responder a los altos niveles de sequ\u00eda que est\u00e1n perjudicando la agricultura y los esfuerzos de conservaci\u00f3n\u201d. dijo Wyden.<\/b> \u201cMe complace ver que estas importantes inversiones en el trabajo de conservaci\u00f3n del agua para los distritos de Owyhee, Tumalo East Fork y Ochoco se destinan a aumentar la eficiencia, mejorar la biodiversidad y ayudar a los agricultores y ganaderos a planificar y prepararse mejor para las sequ\u00edas\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Como miembro del poderoso Comit\u00e9 de Asignaciones, el Senador Merkley ha asegurado m\u00e1s de $168 millones en fondos federales para proyectos de irrigaci\u00f3n en Oreg\u00f3n durante los \u00faltimos seis a\u00f1os fiscales. Estos pr\u00f3ximos proyectos de modernizaci\u00f3n ayudar\u00e1n a establecer soluciones resistentes al clima para compensar el impacto de la sequ\u00eda en las regiones de las cuencas hidrogr\u00e1ficas de Deschutes River, Tumalo Creek, Snake River y Hood River. Los canales de riego abiertos existentes se convertir\u00e1n en tuber\u00edas, lo que ayudar\u00e1 a conservar y preservar el agua cr\u00edtica donde se necesita para restaurar los h\u00e1bitats de especies espec\u00edficas de trucha y salm\u00f3n. La implementaci\u00f3n del transporte por tuber\u00eda de agua reducir\u00e1 la evaporaci\u00f3n y la p\u00e9rdida por filtraci\u00f3n, desviar\u00e1 menos agua de los r\u00edos y aumentar\u00e1 el flujo r\u00edo abajo. <\/p>\n
