Pilcaniyeu is committed to reusing water for forestry purposes
In an innovative project developed in Pilcaniyeu, work is being done on the reuse of treated effluents for forestry purposes
This initiative is carried out by the Provincial Department of Water (DPA), the Municipality of Pilcaniyeu, the Entity for the Development of the Southern Line and Region, the National University of Río Negro (UNRN), the National Institute of Agricultural Technology ( INTA) and Aguas Rionegrinas SA.
The water reuse process is being implemented at the local Sewer Liquid Treatment Plant. Through this project, the aim is to take advantage of the treated effluents for forestry agricultural irrigation. In the first stage, 100 trees have been planted on the property where the plant is located, thus marking the beginning of Effluent Reuse in Pilcaniyeu.
In addition to this important action, an agreement was signed between Mayor Néstor Ayuelef and the Municipal Nursery. This agreement will allow planning activities aimed at the development of new plantations during the spring.
With this initiative, Pilcaniyeu seeks to provide an innovative and sustainable solution to the water problem, promoting the use of available resources and the preservation of the environment. It is expected that this project will be a reference for other localities and regions in the implementation of responsible actions with the care of the natural environment and the sustainable use of water resources.

Missions | New illegal felling in the Piñalito Provincial Park in San Pedro reveals the silent expansion of deforestation in protected areas
The advance of deforestation on protected areas was once again evident this week in the Piñalito Sur Provincial Park, in San Pedro, where the Ministry of Ecology and Renewable Natural Resources confirmed a new case of selective illegal logging. The event occurs in a context of growing concern about the fragility of the environmental control system in rural and border areas, where the scarcity of resources, personnel and logistics limits the capacity of surveillance against criminal organizations organized to steal native woods and market them on the black market in connivance with sawmill owners.
