LINAMNUTU, TTS. This project started on May 18, 2022 on dry land in Linamnutu, South Central Timor. The purpose of the water tank is to irrigate agricultural land that is not supplied with water from the dam due to its higher position.
The project was partially funded by the Wurzburg Mission, Germany through Proclade Internazionale Onlus (a social organization under the auspices of CMF Mission Solidarity). Their grant amounted to USD 3,459. The other part was funded by the Claretian Delegation Indonesia-Timor Leste.
The water tank was completed in July 2022 and blessed by Fr. Superior Major CMF Indonesia-Timor Leste Delegation on July 25, 2022. However, it is not yet practically usable because the piping and electrical systems have not been properly completed. The obstacle faced is the distance of the water source due to the shifting river flow caused by the Seroja Cyclone storm. In addition, the electrical power required to pump water from the river was insufficient. Finally, in July 2023, we changed our water intake strategy. We built a new water channel to supply water closer to the water basin location and changed the type of water pump. This way the reservoir can be filled properly.
Currently, the reservoir can be used. The direct beneficiaries of this project are 10 people, namely the Eduardo Linamnutu Farmer group.Indirect beneficiaries are 50-100 people (Reported by Selestinus Panggarra, cmf – Delegation Mission Procure Team)
