As part of the water allocation (Component 3), aiming to contribute to the improvement and innovation of the selection, construction and maintenance of small water reservoirs, a fieldwork mission took place in June 2021 in Manica and Sofala Provinces within the Pungue and Buzi basins. Two technicians of ARA Centro, a consultant from Resilience, a program partner and the program officer were part of the mission.
During the 5 days of fieldwork local government offices, agricultural fields and hydraulic infrastructure were visited to understand different water storage solutions in the region. The results of the field mission served as input for the E-learning module 4 being prepared under the cooperation of the Blue Deal with the Orange Knowledge Program (OKP).
Module 4 is a knowledge-sharing activity on water storage techniques and structures to increase water availability which will target ARA Centro technical staff and staff of NGOs involved in the process of operation and maintenance of water storage structures in order to draw up a water allocation plan for 2 pilot areas located in the districts of Nhamatanda and Vanduzi in the Pungue and Buzi basins.
