📋 Tender Overview
Strengthening the capacity to respond to a possible occurrence of the El Niño phenomenon, the National Water Authority, attached to Midagri, has a modern fleet of heavy machinery that it acquired to make it available to the population of Lambayeque, for the execution of cleaning and desilting tasks, mainly in the Reque River.
Four excavators are already in the town of Cascajales, Eten district, province of Chiclayo, to join the preventive work that, through the Executing Unit 002 of the ANA, continues to be carried out in seven departments of the country within the framework of Emergency Decree No. 015-2023. They are followed by two tracked tractors.
In this regard, such follow-up activities are projected to begin in the middle of this month. Meanwhile, the distributors of the heavy machinery themselves are completing the respective training of the operators who will be in charge of these machines in the field.
With the intervention with this new fleet of machinery, to which for now a dozen tippers would be added, the impact and effects produced by a possible NPS on the population, its cultivation areas and public and private infrastructure will be minimized.
ACCELERATE CLEANING AND DESILTING
To date, the work of desilting and cleaning continues, simultaneously and at an accelerated pace, from Tumbes to Ica. In the case of Lambayeque, there are 40 critical points in full execution; 10 have already been completed, and another 19 have approved technical sheets. This means an advance of more than 57% in execution and another 22% in process initiated, for a total goal of 128.96 kilometers.
With an estimated investment of 166 million soles, these impact actions are part of the intervention plan implemented by the ANA, to safeguard the inhabitants of 20 districts and three provinces (Chiclayo, Ferreñafe and Lambayeque) of this region.
The clean-up and clearing of riverbeds and streams plays a crucial role in protecting and supporting agriculture, reducing the risk of overflows and flooding, protecting crops, ensuring a constant supply of water for irrigation, improving the quality of water used by farmers, and helping to protect agricultural infrastructure such as canals and drains.
These actions are essential and have a positive impact on the safety, security, quality of life and sustainability of nearby communities, since keeping the hydraulic section of the river free of sediment and solid waste contributes to the flow of water transiting properly through the channel.
