Irrigation infrastructure damaged after quake in northern Chile
Chile's agriculture ministry has declared a state of emergency in northern regions XV and I to speed up investments to rebuild canals and irrigation infrastructure damaged by the powerful 8.2 earthquake that shook the region earlier this week.
The tremor destroyed the main canal that supplies water to Azapa valley, which benefits some 1,200 farmers with a steady volume of 600l/s.
"Damages caused by the earthquake have diminished water flow and all crops depend on this canal," said agriculture minister Carlos Furche .
Water and sanitation company Aguas Nuevas told TV station Canal 13 that water supply was fully restored in Arica city and operating at 95% capacity in Iquique and Alto Hospicio, the two areas most affected by the quake.
