📋 Tender Overview
The National Water Authority (ANA) of the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation participated in a coordination meeting to agree on prevention actions in streams and riverbeds against the "El Niño" phenomenon in the province of Camaná, Arequipa region.
The activity was attended by the mayors of the districts of Ocoña and Mariano Nicolás Valcárcel; the deputy managers of the Civil Defense and disaster prevention offices of the communes of Nicolas de Piérola and Mariscal Cáceres; the director of the Agrarian Agency of Camaná; the technical manager of the Camaná Users Board, as well as professionals from the Local Water Administration (ALA) Camaná Majes.
Jaime Mamani Álvarez, mayor of the Provincial Municipality of Camaná, pointed out the importance of determining the necessary prevention actions against the "El Niño" phenomenon. Likewise, he asked the district municipalities to present technical sheets for the identification of critical points, in order to establish a work schedule, taking into account that there will be yellow line machinery, which was delivered to the provincial commune in cession of use by the Regional Government of Arequipa.
José Luis Irigoin, specialist of the Local Water Administration Camaná Majes, pointed out that, although it is necessary to present technical sheets for the development of prevention work, these must be prepared in a coordinated manner with the competent entities and in this way the necessary economic resources are adequately managed in the execution of prevention work in order to mitigate the effects that this phenomenon may generate in the province.
He also pointed out that it is the ANA that authorizes the execution of works in natural sources of water and associated assets, such as streams and river banks; This is in accordance with Law No. 29338 on Water Resources.
The participants agreed on the importance of initiating a process of articulation, coordination and awareness in prevention actions; not only in the event of a possible occurrence of the "El Niño" phenomenon, but also as a constant and permanent action, since, in the flood season, the flow of the Camaná River increases and affects the riparian defenses and cultivation areas.
