The rural cisterns of Torre-Pacheco

Mateo Férez Martínez
The problem of water has always been present in the semi-arid spaces, that is why the cisterns have acquired great importance, whose existence is at the expense of their owners and dwellers, finding some in a state of total deterioration if they subsist. The reflection of all this, can be perceived if we make a reading of a daily landscape, where you can see the different levels of human action in this natural environment. Nowadays, a cistern is an element that gets in the way and serves no purpose. But this element is the vestige, witness and legacy of a way of life of a previous landscape and that have meant so much to their first owners; the rural cisterns have been and are being dismantled, destroyed, clogged or buried, for not knowing how to project to society the value they had and have.
