The cattle branch of the territory, damaged over the past few years by long and severe droughts, already have 100 small rehabilitated reservoirs, commonly called "minireservoirs", and that at the current rainy station store the liquid, informed Radio Cadena Agramonte web site.

The intention is to reactivate over 2 000 of these works that restrain watercourses of the natural surface washing, done in the 80s of last century, like part of a plan of cattle development in the province, the principal one of Cuba in the production of milk and meat.

For this route the cattle went so far as to satisfy about half of the demand of the liquid that the herds drink, but the hurdles in resources for the maintenance of these constructions and the abandonment in the iciest stage of the special period of the Cuban economy make them useless.

The biggest effort is realized in facilities located to the east and southeast of Camagüey, where the biggest number of animals are concentrated.

The humid stations of last years of insufficient intensity of precipitations lead to creating particularly difficult situations in the cattle development.
