Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The Mozambican Minister of Public Works, Carlos Mesquita, announced on Wednesday that the third phase of the \u201cWater for Life\u201d (Pravida) programme should, by 2024, benefit 3.9 million people.<\/p>\n

Other targets for this period include the storage of 9.2 million cubic metres of water, the irrigation of 311 hectares of land, and the provision of drinking water for more than 14,000 head of cattle.<\/p>\n

Mesquita was speaking on the opening day of a meeting of his Ministry\u2019s Coordinating Council, held at Matibane, in the northern province of Nampula.<\/p>\n

\u201cMotivated by the results of implementing Pravida I and II, in which more than 1.7 million people came to benefit from clean drinking water, for the 2022-2024 period we have decided to implement Pravida III which will cover, for water supply and sanitation, the construction of 356 water sources, and 70 water supply systems\u201d, said Mesquita.<\/p>\n

The same package includes the construction of 32 small dams and nine reservoirs.<\/p>\n

Mesquita also thought it urgent to draw up a strategy to deal with water losses in the urban water systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are concerned at the level of losses in the urban systems which are running, on average, at about 46 per cent\u201d, said the Minister. \u201cThis requires urgent actions to control and reduce these losses which affect the sustainability of the water supply systems. We estimate that, in an initial phase, 120 million dollars will be needed to reduce the losses to a level of between 30 and 34 per cent\u201d.<\/p>\n
