"Here hardly any cereal is planted, like in the southernmost area, but the rest of the territory, which is fodder and pasture for our livestock, is suffering from the inclemency of the drought," stated the counselor, who assured that "our "Cattle are going to need water to come to them."

However, Blanco believes that for human consumption there will not be "any type of problem" thanks to the reservoir and the agreement for the supply of water to the region.
