A meeting was held on Monday 22-02-2021 in the office of the Deputy Regional Governor P.E.. Kozani for the investigation of finding a solution for the modernization of the existing irrigation network of Pyrgos and the creation of a new irrigation network in the place "Politsa" for an irrigated area of approximately 2000 acres.
The meeting was attended at the invitation of the Deputy Regional Governor of Kozani, Mr. Grigoris Tsioumaris, the president of TOEB Pyrgon Mrs. Martha Konstantinidou, the Director of Technical Services P.E.. Κοζάνης κος Κώστας Γρίβας και από την ΑΝΚΟ Α.Ε. ο Δ/ντής Μελετών κος Γιάννης Γκίνης και ο κος Δημήτρης Πεκόπουλος.
After the initial information on the current situation, it was agreed to collect and send data from the president of TOEB to the Technical Services Directorate of PE.. Kozani on:
- the determination of the total area to be irrigated of the existing network with graphic demarcation on a map, to calculate irrigation water needs and
- the approved environmental permit.
In the current situation the total irrigated area is 2.500 acres. Στην περιοχή υπάρχουν δημόσιες και ιδιωτικές γεωτρήσεις και απαιτείται διερεύνηση για την ενσωμάτωσή τους στο δίκτυο.
Due to age, the network has losses and therefore, for better water management and reduction of potential waste, the possibility of installing "smart meters" in water intakes will be considered..
Τα επόμενα βήματα αφορούν στην σύνταξη γεωργοτεχνικής μελέτης για την επέκταση του δικτύου στη θέση «Πόλιτσα» και την οικονομοτεχνική διερεύνηση για τη βελτίωση της οδού πρόσβασης στην περιοχή «Πόλιτσα».
These actions are expected to solve a major problem in the area given the increase in irrigated area by 2000 acres.
