Infrastructure and water management in Argentina and Ecuador

Overview

In Argentina, infrastructure and water management initiatives are progressing through large-scale projects and municipal equipment acquisitions. A bidding process has opened for the Cerro Negro – Valle Hermoso aqueduct, a $110 million project under Plan Galina designed to increase water flow for approximately 450,000 residents in several regions. Concurrently, the 2026-2027 irrigation season has begun in the Alto Valle region following the opening of the Ballester Dam gates to support fruit tree flowering.

At the municipal level, Chivilcoy has received authorization to acquire heavy machinery, including a motor grader and loader, to maintain rural roads and perform climate-related preventive tasks. This acquisition is being financed through Provincia Leasing. Meanwhile, in Ecuador, local governments have invested $100,000 in a water tanker to support strawberry and blackberry producers through micro-reservoir supply.
