Foreword by: living water!

The book living water! Vendes, pous i fonts de Sant Carles de Peralta Josep Joan i Marí, Pep Xomeu, edited by Editions accompanies being isolated from a DVD directed by Ramon Mayol and in a foreword written by Antoni Ferrer Abárzuza:

L’any 1765 Ibiza Town Hall, which then had jurisdiction over the whole island and Formentera, commissioned a captain, military engineer, Josef Martinez Garcia called it hold up a map of Ibiza which marks all sources and all the wells which had called. Judging by the map that made the engineer, preserved Geographic Service of the Army in Madrid, agree that va ser un bon Cartograf. naturally, not all sources briefed let alone all wells, but the most renowned. As was customary at the time when the Bourbon dynasty was only fifty years had begun to reign, all written in Spanish, so some names might seem ridiculous so well translated. Which from l'any 1785 was the parish of San Carlos, engineer included the following:

Source of Berché

Morna source

Source AZARO

Pozo de Monserrat

Fuente de Peralta

Pozo del Rafal

Source Campanich

Pozo del León

If a person looks at this list and any little is known to the parish of San Carlos or passes the leaves of this book follow Joe Xomeu, see immediately that this was a better engineer cartographer to form wells and springs. There are many sources and many wells missing.

True Xomeu Joe has had an advantage on that captain Josef Garcia. D'band, Joe was born and has lived and live many years (and to see it all naltros!) a Sant Carlos; for another, Joe really know the language that was spoken from 1235 in the land of the parish, and he never ever write "Fuente del Bercher" to refer to the hidden source Verger, whether the Dalt like Low:

"Mountains and mountains

On top of everything from canal

There in the distance

Blue sea what a gift "

It is well see that for wells and springs Xomeu Joe won because it has had help; I mean that others before him had stopped some attention in wells and springs of the island and especially in the municipality of Santa Eulalia. First of all one must have been named Austrian Archduke Lluís Salvador, to cap a 1868 walked all Ibiza. This reminds me that next year a hundred years ago was called to heaven, ja that the nascut 1847, will die 1915. After him, surely, who was most famous trekking water was Don Juan Mari Cardona "Mayor", good record and who all sorrowing. He tengué good opportunity because he was priest of San Carlos between 1950 i 1952. Now recently, El 2009, from the Institute of Ibizan we could get, After trekking their roles, the book that he could not publish in his lifetime, entitled Santa Eulalia. Hi figuren cases, families, wells and all papers that tell us about what was the fourth King.

Another missed that is dedicated to esgarrinxar with braziers that roll abandoned most of our sources was Michel Ferrer Clapés. Not in vain published Magic Guide wells and fountains of Santa Eulalia del Río L’any 1995, which still left me a corner for a few words on the Font des Murtar. Joe tells her that Xomeu

"A few years ago out of this hole

Force water came out

And many people went there

Looking for us as he could "

More recently, Architect Joan Josep Serra Rodriguez was collected in three volumes from wells and springs all Ibiza and Formentera. The municipality of Santa Eulalia is the third: Inventory hydraulic heritage of the islands. Inventory of wells and sources of Ibiza. Municipalities of Sant Joan and Santa Eulalia (2005). If you want, wells and springs, there you will find. Of these San Carlos: font d’Atzaró, Prats d'en, Bonany, Peralta, de Can Pep Soldat, of Morna, Verger of upper and lower, Pit Roig, Gorg is Figueral, the well des Lleó, L'font des Murtr, make it to the Xico Sala i do Grossa.

A group of researchers from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, Mallorca Felanitx directed by Miquel Barceló name, made studies about our wells and springs. And find their origin at the time were that Ibiza and Formentera, how would, Moorish terra, between Century X and conquer 1235.

Pep Xomeu, Pero, has made a map of wells and springs, or inventory, or engrossed study. Joe has looked into it the words for each site water. A few words after the match and the biggest in the heart. With them is related to these glosats say more than seems. One of the things that we can read and understand the concern is Joe, who is all-state in which, walks in his, has found a part of the heritage of all: "A source shapely / but it's really worth / find it so forgotten ". And everything has a problem or a solution, I want to point out clearly why Joe, our master Don Jose, is proposed

"What was good for everyone

We should not forget

I si fa falta una ajuda

The should ask "

i, to finish:

"Recuperar sa nostra illa

is what we ask

And our agricultural world

No deixar-lo sa mà

try to keep

Is what we are obliged

His wealth so pampered
