He was touring a water preservation facility in St. Catherine recently. Samuda, while touring the artificial recharge facility in St. Catherine recently, along with environmentalists, said the facility is a reflection of a strong and integrated water sector which benefits from the National Irrigation Commission NIC, along with other water suppliers.
He says the catchment facility is important as water conservation efforts in Jamaica become more prevalent. Noting that climate change has forced countries to be more cognizant of their natural resources.
