Pamugas said Gov. Arthur C. Yap underscored the importance of the Suhid sa Malampusong Mag-uumang Bol-anon and with that, the PGBh would award and recognize the efforts among Boholano farmers and agri-stakeholders who have helped the provincial government to sustain its title as “Food Basket” in Central Visayas.

NIA7: Cloud Seeding needs now

The Cloud Seeding Operations (CSOs) is badly needed now to save the reproductive stage of the standing crop or for the sustenance of the planted rice in the province of Bohol.
Engr. Evelyn Putong from the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) 7 said that it is too late for the reproductive stage of standing crop if the CSOs will be conducted on the mid of September because at this stage it needs enough supply of water in order to produce good grains.
Conducting CSOs beyond on the first week of this month is no longer useful for the standing crop now because the rice paddies have already cracked and the crop would already die at that time, she concluded.
Engr. Putong disclosed that the releasing of irrigation water from the Talibon Dam in barangay Zamora, Talibon to the service areas in town has already been stopped because the water elevation is now near to the critical level of which the actual level has registered at 21.89 meters (ms.), critical-21.00 ms. and at full 30.00 ms.;
The Malinao Dam in Pilar, actual-148.32ms, critical-146.5ms., at full 152ms.; Bayongan Dam in San Miguel, actual – 43.44 ms., critical – 41.00 ms., at full 52ms.; while in the Capayas Dam in Lumangog, Ubay, actual – 33.48 ms., critical-30.00 ms., at full-36.5 ms.,
As to when the CSOs to be conducted again in Bohol, the ball now is on the hands of the Department of Agriculture-Regional Field Office (DA-RFO7) as the fund in the tune of P2.5 million intended for Bohol CSOs from the Bureau of Soils and Water Management (BSWM) was already downloaded to DA-RFO7 and the project had already bidded sometimes in March this year.
Leon Parac Jr., cloud seeding focal person said that the formal letter from the El Niño Taskforce requesting to implement the operations in Bohol had already sent to DA7 Executive Director Atty. Salvador Diputado.
Parac said attached in the letter was the resolution from the Federated Irrigators Association of the Malinao Dam covered service areas seeking to implement the CSOs in Bohol the soonest possible time in order to save the reproductive stage of standing crop.
He said that the Provincial Government of Bohol (PGBH) now through the Office of the Provincial Agriculture (OPA) has kept on doing a constant follow-up.
Mary Grace Baay also from NIA 7 during the Provincial Coordinating Committee on Agri-Fishery (PCCAF) meeting last Wednesday held at the Constrell Pension House, New Calceta, Cogon, Tagbilaran City reported that of the areas covered by National Irrigation System (NIS) in the 8,701.89 hectares (has.) of irrigated areas they planned to be planted, only 3,899.23 has. have realized or at 44% because of insufficient supply of water among the dams.
