President of Peru Alan Garcia paid a visit to Sambor Huaypo's irrigation project at Anta, Cusco, and assured publicly that the South Andean Gas Pipeline will be concluded before his mandate expires, in 2011.

"Before I leave office, the great South Andean gas pipeline will bring gas to Cusco, Arequipa, Puno, Tacna and Moquegua, because I honor my promises," said the President.

On the other side, Garcia pointed out that Sambor Huaypo works wil benefite 25,000 people in rural zones and a total of S/32 million soles (approx. US $10.5 million dollars) are being invested there.

Cusco Regional President, Hugo Gonzales Sayan who went with Garcia in his visit to the works, informed: "So far, the project has made progress up to 80%."

Finally, President Garcia announced a project that will allow the construction of 100 dams and 30 big reservoirs for all over Peru, starting in December.

With "100 dams and 30 big reservoirs" planned, is the government concerned as to the environmental impact? Will there be sufficient water to fill the dams & reservoirs and still have water for the Lima area as the alpine glaciers are rapidly shrinking? 
I hope these projects have been well thought out and can be justified scientifically rather than simply being used to fulfill political promises.
