Abinader starts wall and works in the Yuna River to protect the community
Villa Riva, Duarte.— Flooding is no longer a concern for the safety of 800 families and 153 thousand tareas of rice planted in the Ceiba de los Pájaros community, municipality of Villa Riva, after the inauguration, by President Luis Abinader, of the gabion wall and adaptation of the bank of the Yuna River and other infrastructure works in the province of Duarte.
The gabion wall is another example of the president’s concern for the safety of Dominicans, with which the historic floods in the area and surrounding areas are left behind.
The work, 224 linear meters long and 7 meters high, executed by the National Institute of Hydraulic Resources (Indri), includes a park with an extension of 746 square meters and a children’s play area of 77.25 square meters.
Addressing those present, the president highlighted that this administration makes the investment that the Duarte province needed for a long time and was not being made.

He informed that he spoke with the head of the School Infrastructure Directorate, Roberto Herrera, regarding the rehabilitation of schools and the completion of the dining halls and roofs that need it.
He stated that he will instruct the administrator of the Dominican Hydroelectric Generation Company (Egehid), Rafael Salazar, to accelerate the works for the protection of the municipality of Arenoso and to deliver the road that connects that demarcation with Villa Riva next year.
In his speech at the event, the director of Indri, Olmedo Caba Romano, said that in that area the water covered the houses due to the floods caused by the Yuna River and that a year ago no one dreamed of seeing that work finished.
The official also cited the other works delivered simultaneously, among which he mentioned the rehabilitation of the Aglipo II Project, construction of sewers in the Aguacate community, sewerage in Arenoso, and the discharge gate of the Yuna River in Arenoso.
The Yuna River originates in the Ébano Verde scientific reserve and flows into the Samaná Bay, with a length of 210 kilometers, a basin area of 5,498 square kilometers, and an average flow of 91 cubic meters per second. The tributary is vital for agriculture, mainly rice cultivation, which receives irrigation from the tributary and is the source of drinking water for the Lower Yuna.
