"The motion for a resolution prepared in response to the oral question by the Temporary Committee on Climate Change appears to be consistent, but in my view it does not pay enough attention to water, which can mitigate micro and macro-climatic issues caused by land drainage and thus contribute to a healthier climate.
Parliament’s suggestions are in line with an outdated paradigm based on effective management of existing water resources.
The new water paradigm advocates renewal of water resources in the countryside. It advocates improving the water cycle with a view to gradually ensuring that there is sufficient water for all. The goal of the paradigm is to adapt the current situation concerning the drainage of large areas as a result of deforestation, agriculture or sewerage.
Land drainage reduces evaporation, changes solar heat into metabolic heat and transforms enormous energy flows within it. Even the slightest 1 mm reduction through evaporation in an area the size of Slovakia corresponds on a sunny day to a release of metabolic heat equivalent to the yearly output of all the power stations in Slovakia.
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank Mr Sacconi and Commissioner Dimas for their efforts. I hope I have succeeded in drawing your attention to these new ideas."@en1
