Training in water resources in the Amaime River basin
As part of the project "Strengthening and Connecting Ecological Connectivity Protection Corridors for Sustainable Water Resource Management in the Amaime River Basin," Cenicaña conducted theoretical and practical training at the Jesusita and La Marina estates of the Riopaila Castilla Sugar Mill.
The day focused on the determination of the volume of water applied per hectare in sugarcane cultivation. Key topics were addressed such as the dynamics of soil moisture and the importance of water resources, culminating in a practical session where the installation and use of the RBC gutter, a technology that facilitates the measurement of flow rates in furrows.
The main objective of this training was to strengthen staff capacities in efficient water resource management, promoting its conservation and improving the efficiency of gravity-fed irrigation.
