Wednesday, September 27, 2023 - 10:58

 

NIA Central Office – The National Irrigation Administration (NIA), headed by Acting Administrator Engr. Eddie G. Guillen, intensifies its continuous pursuit on the benefits of developing and constructing solar-powered irrigation projects in 183 sites nationwide already in the pipeline for CY 2024. An additional 791 potential sites for solar-powered irrigation projects are being proposed to irrigate about 39,694 hectares of agricultural land throughout the country.

For CY 2023, there are 147 potential irrigation sites for solar power amounting to Php 1,643,583,002. Of which, NIA already completed the construction of 17 solar-powered irrigation projects amounting to Php 117,360,002 as of September 15, 2023. These projects provide reliable irrigation water supply to 830 hectares of agricultural land nationwide benefitting 801 farmers and their families.

With the modernization and innovation thrusts of the Agency, NIA utilizes the full potential of its irrigation facilities, dams, and reservoirs for agro-tourism, aquaculture, and renewable energy sources. This proves that aside from providing sustainable and efficient irrigation services, the Agency can actually be an active partner for holistic contributions to the country’s development.

Kaugnay ng pagdiriwang ng kaarawan ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. at bilang suporta sa kanyang agenda na gawing mas abot-kaya ang suplay ng pagkain sa lahat ng Pilipino, inilunsad ng NIA Regional Offices sa buong bansa ang KADIWA sa NIA Program.

Ang paglulunsad ng KADIWA sa NIA ay alinsunod sa direktiba ni NIA Acting Administrator Engr. Eddie G. Guillen na magbigay ng taos-pusong suporta sa nasabing programa. Sari-saring produkto ng mga Irrigators Association (IA) ang mabibili sa murang halaga sa iba’t ibang rehiyon at lalawigan sa bansa.

Ang gawaing ito ay nagpapatunay na ang NIA ay nananatiling tapat sa adhikain nitong mas maiangat pa ang antas ng pamumuhay ng mga magsasakang Pilipino sa pamamagitan ng iba’t ibang pamamaraan na makapagpapataas ng kanilang kita.
