  • Integrated Approach to Improve Irrigation Efficiencies Reservoir Repair

    This project will rehabilitate the Unión Chilena Marco N°8 canal reservoir in Curacaví, which currently operates at 30% capacity due to sedimentation. The goal is to recover 70% of the lost water storage to increase irrigation supply for 19 small farmers. Activities include improving access roads, removing sediment with machinery, repairing the reservoir weir, and replacing the valve. Annual maintenance will ensure sustained storage and functionality through sediment removal and weeding (using herbicides with a manual sprayer).
