The head of the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (Midagri), Víctor Maita, reported that during this year the Water Recharge Program will be implemented in 14 departments as part of the second agrarian reform. The investment will be S / 360 million for a period of 5 years and seeks to promote the sowing and harvesting of water to promote family farming.
Likewise, the sector, through the Sierra Azul fund, plans to execute 500 qochas (reservoirs) this year, which through infiltration ditches will allow it to serve 187 hectares with reforestation and 90 hectares with revegetation with native species. An investment of more than S / 82 million is contemplated.
“Since this year we have launched this water recharge program that is in charge of Agro Rural (an organization attached to Midagri), and whose work will contribute to supply water resources to peasant communities and rural populations,” said Maita, quoting a Midagri press release.
In this line, the ministry maintains “that one of the central axes of the II Agrarian Reform is to guarantee water security and protect the headwaters of the basin to provide water resources to peasant communities and rural populations, whose main economic activity is agriculture” .
