On August 10th is celebrated the Hydraulic Worker Day in Cuba, on that date in 1962 was founded the National Institute of Hydraulic Resources, with the aim of creating the necessary infrastructure to ensure economic and social development of the island, avoid large floods and dam water if severe drought. In San Antonio de los Baños, workers in the sector, working to make the provided service to the population respond efficiently to their needs. Incidentally we talked to Guido Figueroa Benancho, head of water section resources in the Local Body of the People's Power.
How is the availability of water in San Antonio de los Baños?
Cuba faces the dry season and San Antonio de los Baños suffer these effects, especially Ariguanabo Cuenca has affected the ability and thus the availability of the service to the population. No more than 50 percent, conditioned by low rainfall
What actions are planned to this situation?
The impact of this service on the population and state institutions, times of distribution and supply of water in a rational way for the five councils of the territory taking into account the forecasts of the Meteorology Institute for this summer drought in Cuba.
Deteriorating water systems as a result of multiple factors that have limited resources to deal with maintenance, service quality is not good. What opinion can offer in this respect?
San Antonio de los Baños has accumulated a critical situation for several years, existing networks that date back more than 50 years of existence hence the marked deterioration of hydraulic networks. Many factors, we have limited resources to occur implies persistent leaks, blockages in networks with low coverage of tools and accessories which hinders the maintenance action without forgetting social indiscipline affecting today the workers stimulation and wage has still face difficult working conditions.
Given the proximity of the anniversary. What message does for hydraulic Ariguanabo workers?
Congratulated the workforce and the call to work efficiently and results in water systems, sewage, sanitation, in the process of updating our economic model. I insist that it is necessary to take a more rational use to material, financial and human resources and have the support of the population on saving use.
