The Municipality of Villa Cañás has completed infrastructure interventions on the Paysandú Canal in a rural area. Conducted in coordination with the Comité de Cuenca de la Laguna La Picasa, the project involved installing ten pipes to reinforce the drainage system and improve water runoff. These preventive measures are intended to facilitate water circulation, reduce obstructions during heavy rainfall, and ensure better transitability for local residents and producers on rural roads.
