Innovation in Irrigation and Drainage for Irrigated Agriculture in Guayas

The Provincial Decentralized Autonomous Government of Guayas (GADP-G) within the framework of its exclusive powers has defined as a priority the updating of the Provincial Irrigation and Drainage Plan. This priority within the framework of the exercise of the irrigation and drainage competence, requires the identification of instruments and/or concrete actions to advance in the management of the same, as a determining factor for agricultural production. This effort demands the strengthening of the capacities of the technical team of the Provincial GAD of Guayas for the planning and management of the aforementioned competence and which are part of the economic-productive system of Guayas. In this way, it is expected to contribute to the improvement in the quality of life of the farmers of the territory. The development of the aforementioned requires the identification, adjustment and implementation of specialized studies that guide institutional efforts for the short, medium and long term. This process requires dialogue and joint work between productive actors (irrigation and drainage boards, agricultural associations, communes), provincial authorities, productive organizations and/or strategic partners that allow the creation of public-private alliances for the execution of concrete actions in the economic-productive dimension of the province of Guayas.
