Calapan CIty, Oriental Mindoro - The National Irrigation Administration (NIA) MIMAROPA holds a seminar-workshop on Standard Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Plans for irrigation systems at the NIA MIMAROPA Training Center in Calapan City. This initiative equips participants with the skills to develop, implement, and assess effective O&M plans, ultimately leading to improved irrigation system efficiency.
The workshop empowers participants to create and implement efficient O&M plans, bridging competency gaps in irrigation management. This optimizes irrigation system functionality and ensures a reliable water supply for farmers.
