We used to fetch water from the fountain in far distant valley after walking for an hour and half.  Water reservoirs will also intervene in the prevention of erosion,\u201d Nyirabahutu Consol\u00e9e. <\/p>\n<p>Hakizimana Tharcisse said that children have been reporting late to school due to lack of water. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are accustomed to using river water from valleys.  It takes long to reach these rivers that our children report to school late. With these water reservoirs, we are killing two birds with one stone.  It gives relief as we will be assured of access to water and prevent erosion as well,\u201d he explained. <\/p>\n<p>Rubavu district vice mayor for economic development, Nzabonimpa D\u00e9ogratias requested residents to work together for efficient use of received reservoirs.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cRiver Sebeya used to destroy properties but it will be used for touristic purposes in coming days and generate revenues due to conservation efforts and set up infrastructure.  You have built terraces on 365 hectares helping you to feed families with harvested maize and potatoes. We encourage you to make good use of these water reservoirs and use designated chemicals to purify water.  We request those who have not received reservoirs to be patient as we plan to reach all of you once funds are available,\u201d he promised.        <\/p>\n<p>Apart from water reservoirs, residents neighboring with Sebeya have also received 285 out of 475 cows to be donated to residents through the project aimed at preserving River Sebeya.  <\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-38167 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/hatewe_ibiti_bizafasha_mu_kurinda_icyogogo_cy_umugezi_wa_sebeya-3.jpg\" alt=\"Different trees have been planted to prevent Sebeya flooding.   \" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{Residents in the neighborhood of River Sebeya have received 138 water reservoirs to collect rain water to avoid damages the flowing water would cause like washing away terraces and reduce flooding.  }  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":62,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[75],"byline":[170],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-43170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-homenews","byline-igihe"],"bylines":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"contributors":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"featured_image":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43170","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/62"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43170"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43170\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43170"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43170"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=43170"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=43170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
