00:00See, I'm burnt by the sun, as soon as I get out of the car, it's all black, and you can see that it's all yellow.
00:31We can see that the water level has dropped over the years, the rains are absent, they no longer evaporate as in the past years.
00:40But sometimes, when those rare rains arrive, the water is re-poured into the sea, because this work, very important for the entire surrounding agricultural sector, has never been tested.
01:00In the past few years, we have seen a decrease in the amount of rain in the region.
01:15So, we talk about drought because it doesn't rain, but we also talk about an incorrect management of what we have at our disposal.
01:22Because it doesn't rain, it's true, but we don't know how to manage the water we have.
01:27And I'm talking about us, but it's not the farmers' responsibility, it's not ours.
01:33It's the responsibility of those who should ensure that this little water is well distributed, it's not like that.
01:39Today, the farmer no longer needs promises, dates that never come, possible works.
01:47Today, the farmer needs facts, not holes-hole funds.
01:51Rather, these figures that should arrive to the agricultural companies, which are invested to make agricultural works useful for the community.
01:59Each of us has a territory, so I know that tomorrow, for example, I will be in the situation that is verified in Città del Capo, between 2017 and 2017.
