📋 Tender Overview
As a preventive measure against a possible water deficit, the National Water Authority (ANA) enabled 383 water wells, for the direct benefit of more than 15,000 citizens in 48 districts of the Puno region.
"Exceptionally, the ANA has rehabilitated 353 wells and has built, from scratch, another 30 wells; complying with the request of the emergency, within the framework of Emergency Decree 030-2023-MIDAGRI," said the head of the entity, Juan Carlos Castro.
It should be noted that the ANA's intervention is focused on the development of rules and procedures for the sustainable management of water resources; but not in the provision or supply of water, either for the agricultural sector or for human consumption.
Emergency support
The exceptional work carried out by the ANA did not only consist of the fitting out of the wells; but also, in the optimization of its operation and the necessary facilities for its use in rural areas, being equipped with pumping kits that use non-conventional energy (submersible electric pumps), as well as the placement of solar panels and lightning rods.
Finally, the head of the ANA expressed his concern about the availability of water for human consumption and for the different productive activities carried out by the communities; Whereas, local and regional governments must promote investment projects to guarantee this resource in these areas.
"From the ANA we carry out technical studies to determine the availability of water at the national level and with that information, regional and local governments and responsible entities can formulate investment projects to ensure water and sanitation," he said.
