📋 Tender Overview
With the aim of mitigating the effects of the El Nino 2023-2024 phenomenon, the National Water Authority, a body attached to the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation, is in the final stretch of the cleaning and de-silting work of the prioritized sectors in the Pisco, Grande, Ingenio and Nazca rivers of the Ica region.
There are 17 sectors that comprise an extension of 20.32 kilometers intervened that represent an investment of 14.5 million soles, in the provinces of Pisco, Palpa and Nazca.
To date, the institution has completed 100% of the cleaning and de-silting work in 15 sectors and in the next few days it is estimated that the remaining 2 sections will be completed. In this way, it seeks to prevent possible overflows that may be generated by the effects of the El Niño phenomenon, benefiting more than 3000 inhabitants and 2600 hectares of the region dedicated to the production of melon, watermelon, grapes and corn. Likewise, in the province of Nazca, thanks to the work carried out by the ANA, the archaeological site of Orcona has been protected.
"The National Water Authority has implemented double-shift work, which involves actions until 10 p.m. with heavy machinery. It should be noted that these works have been articulated with the different communities, user boards and local governments in order to promote an articulated and efficient work," said Elmer Rafael, territorial coordinator of the ANA in Ica for the actions before the FEN.
The National Water Authority, under the slogan "Committed to reaching the goal", ratifies its commitment to spare no effort to keep the population safe, as well as to protect the various areas of cultivation and infrastructure of the 7 regions prioritized in Emergency Decree 015.
