The Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation is building three water reservoirs, known as haffirs, at Lupetet, Kalobolyang and Nadapal. Excavation and embankment work is advancing, according to a ministry statement.
The Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation has begun construction of three water reservoirs, locally known as haffirs, in Eastern Equatoria State, South Sudan. They are intended to improve access to water for communities and livestock, according to a ministry statement published on Monday.
Preparatory work has been completed at the three sites of Lupetet, Kalobolyang and Nadapal: access roads, water pumping, setting up camps and topographical surveys. Earthworks are advancing. Excavation is well advanced at Lupetet and nearly complete at Nadapal, while embankments are under way at all three sites, under quality control.
The ministry says the reservoirs should improve water supply, particularly during long dry seasons.
