Site Validation for Solar Pump Irrigation Project
The inspection of the well as the source for the proposed Solar Pump Irrigation System was conducted under the auspices of the Provincial Government of Ilocos Sur. This vital project aims to support local farmers, particularly those cultivating crops in rainfed areas that face water scarcity, by providing a sustainable and reliable water source.
The initiative involves two qualified associations—Bantay Cluster 7 Farmers Association and JOB Farmers Association—located at Tay-ac and LINGSAT, Bantay. Endorsed by the LGU Bantay, the inspection was attended by representatives from the Provincial Agriculture Office, led by Engr. Julius Bragado, alongside the SPIS contractor.
The assessment yielded positive results, confirming that the area is highly suitable for the project. This development is a significant step forward in enhancing agricultural productivity, ensuring water security, and providing vital support to our farmers facing the challenges of water scarcity in rainfed areas of Bantay.
