PROBLEM: Naturalmente, desearía hablar de un sector particular que sigo muy de cerca, el de la agricultura, principal consumidora del agua: la agricultura debe, como ya ha empezado ha hacerlo, aceptar su parte del principio según el cual el que contamina, paga, pero también es preciso tener en cuenta sus particularidades y limitaciones, especialmente en las regiones secas.

SOLUTION:
I should like, naturally, to refer to a specific sector to which I am very closely attached, i.e. agriculture, the main water-consuming sector. Agriculture must accept its share of 'polluter pays' charges, and has in fact already started to do so, but account must also be taken of its special characteristics and constraints, especially in arid regions.
