In fact, continued Andang, his party needs to continue to normalize the river because many river channels are already shallow. So, when there is a lot of water during the rainy season, it can flow smoothly.
“Rivers often experience siltation. So we will normalize it so that water in irrigation locations can continue to flow smoothly and farmers can get a good water supply,” he explained.
The program for repairing and building irrigation facilities will continue to be carried out. In addition, the maintenance of irrigation networks is also very important. So that the irrigation that has been built can be used by the community properly as a means of supplying water.
“Hopefully this program that has been realized can have a good impact on the needs of the community. Therefore, we also invite the community to maintain irrigation and weirs as well as possible,” concluded Andang. (ES/R3/HR-Online/Editor-Eva)
