DAVAO CITY Various government agencies will launch the Mindanao Water Supply and Irrigation Systems Project here on Friday, December 6, in a bid to help assist villages for next years dry season.
Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) Secretary Manny Piol said the project will help local government units to access funding for the establishment of solar water supply and irrigation systems not only to provide potable water for their remote villages but also to prepare them for the expected El Nio next year.
We cannot let the 2,000 barangays in Mindanao to still live without safe sources of drinking water. More so, we have to assist LGUs to irrigate their 100,000 hectares of rice farms to counter the El Nio next year, he said.
