"The construction of Lambo reservoir is part of the plan to build seven reservoirs in several areas of East Nusa Tenggara," local public works department spokesman Andre Koreh remarked here on Thursday.
He noted that the seven reservoirs to be built in East Nusa Tenggara province are part of the agenda of the Public Works and Public Housing Ministry. The seven reservoirs are Lambo reservoir in Nagekeo district, Kolhua in Kupang city, Raknamo and Manikin in Kupang district, Rotiklot in Belu district, Temef in Timor Tengah Selatan (TTS) district, and Napunggete in Sikka district.
"The construction of the seven reservoirs are already included in the Ministry of Public Works plan, as East Nusa Tenggara is in dire need of reservoirs to cope with the water shortage faced by humans, animals, and plants," Andre remarked.
