(ANSA) – CAGLIARI, 17 NOV – Dead animals, horticultural crops and in particular destroyed artichokes, soaked weeds, flooded greenhouses, rural roads and uprooted fences. This is the balance in the Sardinian countryside of the wave of bad weather in recent days, denounced by Coldiretti who immediately asks for a state of calamity.
“In addition to the inhabited centers – reads a note – agriculture is once again paying the highest price due to an increasingly tropical climate. In a few days we have gone from a prolonged period of drought, to a series of water bombs which in some areas of southern Sardinia recorded a quarter of the annual average rainfall.
The toll of the damage caused to agriculture by a 2021 which marks the record of extreme events in Italy since the surveys began. Yesterday the highest price was paid by central Sardinia in the Siniscola area and in particular in Lodè where the fury of the water overwhelmed and killed some sheep, as well as grasses, rural roads and fences. Damage also in Northern Sardinia, with the water bomb that hit Monti, which also involved some rural roads. But damage was also recorded in the Sarrabus, in the Oristano area and in the patchwork of other territories as well. Losses that add up to those already heavy of last Sunday which had affected various greenhouses and artichoke fields in the south-eastern part of the island from Capoterra and Sarroch up to the various Municipalities of Sulcis “.
“The Region of Sardinia must declare a state of natural disaster by guaranteeing immediate refreshments to farms that have actually suffered damage – says the regional president of Coldiretti, Battista Cualbu -. Interventions that to be such must be targeted and rapid, otherwise it is a matter of intent and further waste of time and illusions for farms already tormented by the numerous calamities that occur during the year “.
