That’s just me scaling the 20-foot water reservoir of the Solar-Powered Irrigation System (SPIS) in Manubuan, Matalam, North Cotabato yesterday.
The reservoir could hold 350 cubic meters of water and irrigate 4 hectares of rice fields every day.
In 10 days, the whole 40-hectare rice farming area could be served by the SPIS which was constructed at a cost of P6.4-M and completed in just 60 days.
A total of 117 SPIS is being constructed all over the country covered by funding from the Department of Agriculture.
At an average of 40 hectares covered by each SPIS, an estimated 4,680 hectares will be irrigated this year.
