Hydrological situation improves in Cuba’s largest province

Camagüey, Cuba, May 31 (Prensa Latina) The province with the largest hydraulic infrastructure in Cuba is prospering again thanks to 75.5 million cubic meters of water stored in its main dams, according to data from the National Institute of Hydraulic Resources (INRH).

Camagüey, which has a dozen dams dedicated to supply more than 730,000 people, currently has “163.4 million cubic for a water storage of 48.3 percent of its capacities and those destined for the economic plans contain 384.99 million for a filling of 32.1 percent,” Adelante weekly states on its website.

The publication assures that the rains fell in the last weeks “benefited the water levels of the dams, which were very depressed due to the dry period that affected several regions of the country, included Camagüey, which currently has a total service coverage for some 1,204 days.”

Water is fundamental for food production, one of the core points for the development strategy of the current Cuban Government.

For that reason and in view of the drought until April, some measures were adopted to maintain a stable supply to the state and residential sector, with priority attention to the sugar harvest and institutions destined to these tasks.
