Mare Aux Vacoas To 29.9% Capacity

12 years, 5 months ago - November 04, 2011

With the arrival of summer, water is increasingly scarce. Bhishek Narain, the communications officer of the Central Water Authority (CWA), states that the largest reservoir in the country shows a fill rate of 29.9%.

"Mare aux Vacoas has never experienced such a decline over the past ten years, he said. Our rivers are dry and our water tables are affected. "He argues that the CWA is working extra hard to deal with any eventuality in addition to massive investments.

In recent days, the connection between long-Mare and Mare-aux-Vacoas is already operational and the water is transferred to Mary to be treated and distributed in the regions of Plaine-Wilhems. This link project, which is in charge Sotravic, is to transfer 20 000 m3 of water. As a result, the pipes will be extended to 5.2 km. In addition, the CWA has also invested about Rs 15 million in sewage water treatment mobile or river water to Valletta and Terre-Rouge, among others.

Who says drought, also said water cuts. In the region of Plaines Wilhems, the distribution is done once a day. The west and south are also drastic diet because the water table of Yemen are in the red. "The provision amounts to 2000 m3 per day at present against 4500 m3 of water before," the communications officer of the CWA.
