Zinwa to de-silt water courses
Innocent Ruwende
The Zimbabwe National Water Authority has embarked on an exercise to de-silt water courses across the country and has acquired advanced equipment from United Kingdom for that purpose. In an Interview at ongoing Harare Agriculture Show, ZINWA public relations officer Mr Tsungirirai Shoriwa said the authority acquired four draglines to carry out the exercise which is expected to restore the normal flow of river systems.
He said ZINWA and the suppliers of the equipment has so far trained 20 workers on how to use and assemble the machines in the seven major catchment areas.
Mr Shoriwa said rampant gold panning, alluvial mining, and poor agricultural activities are the major causes of siltation.
