The OVF points out: in the first seven months of the year, the amount of water actually supplied as part of the agricultural water service far exceeded that experienced in previous years. In 2020 until August, the amount of water served was 58 percent of all needs, in 2021 it was 64 percent, based on the amount calculated taking into account the estimated needs, this year this value is already 86 percent, they explained.
As the summer progresses, less and less water will be needed
