Pyinmana completes solar-powered agri water supply projects
THE Department of Rural Development,
under the Ministry of Cooperatives and Rural Development, has successfully
completed solar-powered agricultural water supply projects in Zeegon, Thitsaylone,
and Yathet villages’ Pyinmana, Nay Pyi Taw.
The construction work was carried out under
the close supervision of Pyinmana Township Department of Rural Development
Head Daw Nay Chi Zar Wai and engineering staff. The project involved the installation
of a 2HP solar DC surface pump and a 2.36-kW solar mobile system in each
village, along with the drilling of a 100-foot-deep tube well measuring 4.5
inches in diameter to secure reliable water sources.
The water supply systems were implemented
using Union government allocated funds starting from the first week of May this
year. With the projects now fully completed, local farmers in the three villages
will have access to sufficient irrigation water year-round, enabling improved
agricultural production and increasing household incomes. — Sein Lwin (Rural)
