NEGROS OCCIDENTAL, March 12 (PIA) - - About 130 farmers in Barangay
Buenavista in Himamaylan City got P6,053,694.44 for an irrigation
project.
The groundbreaking for the Su-ay-Buenavista Communal Irrigation Project was held recently and the construction is expected to end in seven months or 210 days.
Negros Occidental Governor Alfredo G. Marañon Jr. with Provincial Agriculturist Engr. Igmedio Tabianan led the groundbreaking of the project which will serve 96 hectares (ha) of farmland.
Marañon advised the farmers to make good use of the project given to them and to take care of the project in order to make it sustainable.
Buenavista Farmers’ Association President, Ramy Entierro, said that they are thankful to the provincial government and National Irrigation Administration for initiating the project as it will have a big impact in their rice production amidst the threat of climate change.
Meanwhile, NIA has earmarked P201 million for irrigation projects and repairs and almost half of these will be spent for the repair and rehabilitation of the Bago River Irrigation Systems (BRIS).
Some P20-million will be spent on the existing BRIS while another P80 million will be allocated to augment the water supply of the water system.*(JCM/EAD-PIA6, Negros Occidental)
