IBelize ifaka iziteshi zezulu ezintsha ukuze ithuthukise ukuqina kokushintsha kwesimo sezulu kanye nezibikezelo

I-Belize National Weather Service iyaqhubeka nokwandisa amakhono ayo ngokufaka iziteshi zezulu ezintsha kulo lonke izwe. UMnyango Wezokuphathwa Kwezingozi Zezinhlekelele wethule imishini yesimanje emgwaqweni wezindiza iCaye Caulker Village Municipal Airport namuhla ekuseni. I-Energy Resilience for Climate Adaptation Project (ERCAP) ihlose ukuthuthukisa ikhono lomkhakha lokuqoqa idatha yesimo sezulu nokuthuthukisa izibikezelo zesimo sezulu. Umnyango uzofaka iziteshi zezulu ezintsha ezingu-23 ezizenzakalelayo ezindaweni eziqondile kanye nezindawo ezazingaqashelwa ngaphambili njengeCaye Caulker. UNgqongqoshe Wezokuphathwa Kwezingozi Zezinhlekelele u-Andre Perez ukhulume ngokufakwa nokuthi iphrojekthi izozuzisa kanjani izwe.
UNgqongqoshe Wezomnotho Nokuphathwa Kwezingozi Zezinhlekelele u-Andre Perez: “Imali etshalwe yiNational Weather Service kulo msebenzi idlula u-$1.3 million. Ukuthengwa nokufakwa kweziteshi zezulu ezingama-35 ezizenzakalelayo, imvula kanye ne-hydrometeorological kubize isilinganiso esingaphezudlwana kuka-$1 million ngesiteshi ngasinye. NjengoNgqongqoshe ophethe iNational Meteorological Services, ngithanda ukubonga kakhulu iGlobal Environment Facility, iWorld Bank kanye nazo zonke ezinye izikhungo ezenze lo msebenzi waba ngokoqobo. Bengizokwazisa kakhulu iBelize National Meteorological Service uma ibingagcwalisa inethiwekhi yayo kazwelonke yeziteshi zezulu. Iziteshi zezulu ezizenzakalelayo, ama-rain gauge kanye neziteshi ze-hydrometeorological ezithengwe futhi zafakwa ngaphansi kwalo msebenzi zizosiza umnyango kanye nezinye izikhungo kanye neminyango ebambisene nabo ekuqinisekiseni lokhu. Ukunikezwa kolwazi ngesikhathi esifanele nangokuphumelelayo emphakathini. Izexwayiso mayelana nesimo sezulu esiyingozi kanye nezimo zezulu. Njengenye yamazwe asengozini kakhulu emhlabeni ngemiphumela yokushintsha kwesimo sezulu, iCay Caulker, njengoba uSihlalo ephawulile ngaphambili, iphambili ngempela. ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu, amazinga amanzi akhuphukayo, ukuguguleka kolwandle kanye nezinye izinkinga Ingqikithi yesimo sezulu esibi ukuthi sise- phakathi nesizini yeziphepho, futhi iBelize kumele isebenzise la mathuba ukwakha ukuqina kwesimo sezulu esibi kakhulu kanye nezehlakalo zesimo sezulu ezihlobene kakhulu nokushintsha kwesimo sezulu. Njengoba nonke nazi, vele. Njengoba uMnu. Leal ephawulile, imboni yamandla, njengezinye izingxenye eziningi zomnotho wethu, ibhekene nezinga eliphezulu lengozi ngenxa yesimo sezulu kanye nokungaqiniseki kwesimo sezulu.
Le phrojekthi ihlose futhi ukuthuthukisa ukuqina kohlelo lwamandla lwaseBelize ezimweni zezulu ezimbi kanye nemiphumela yesikhathi eside yokushintsha kwesimo sezulu, kusho uRyan Cobb, umqondisi we-Energy Logistics kanye ne-e-Government Division yoMnyango Wezinsiza Zomphakathi.
URyan Cobb, umqondisi wezamandla woMnyango Wezinsiza Zomphakathi, uthe: “Kungase kungabi yinto yokuqala efika engqondweni uma sicabanga ngezinto ezithonya izimakethe zamandla, kodwa isimo sezulu singathinta kakhulu izimakethe zamandla, kusukela ekukhiqizweni kwamandla kuya ekudingweni kokupholisa. Kunomehluko omkhulu phakathi kwezimo zezulu nokusetshenziswa kwamandla. Ukuqonda lobu budlelwano kubalulekile kubabambiqhaza embonini yamandla njengoba izimo zezulu zingabangela ukuguquguquka okukhulu kwesidingo samandla, okuthinta kokubili abathengi bamandla kanye nabaphakeli. Izinqubo zokukhiqiza amandla ezisetshenziswayo kusukela ezakhiweni ngazinye kuya ezinhlelweni zamandla avuselelekayo kanye namagridi okusetshenziswa zibalulekile. Izinguquko zesimo sezulu ezibangelwa yisimo sezulu kanye nezehlakalo zesimo sezulu esibi nazo zithinta ukuziphatha kokukhiqizwa kwamandla, ukudluliselwa kanye nokusetshenziswa kulezi zinhlelo. Ukusimama kokuhlinzekwa kanye nesidingo kubalulekile. Ingqikithi ephindaphindayo. Akugcini nje ngokwanele ukukhiqiza inani likagesi esilidingayo, kodwa futhi kudingeka lizinze, lithembeke futhi likwazi ukumelana nokusetshenziswa hhayi kuphela kodwa nezinhlekelele zemvelo. kuya ekuhlulekeni kwegridi, ukuntuleka kwamandla, ukwanda kwesidingo samandla kanye nomonakalo ovela ezinhlekeleleni zemvelo, kugqamisa isidingo sedatha yesimo sezulu enembile yokuhlela okusebenzayo, ukuklama, usayizi, ukwakhiwa kanye nokuphathwa kwezakhiwo. Ezinhlelweni zomzimba nezamandla, idatha yesimo sezulu emele indawo. iyadingeka ekuhlaziyeni, ekubikezeleni nasekumodeleni. Yilokho okungalethwa yile phrojekthi.”
Le phrojekthi ixhaswe ngesibonelelo esivela kwi-Global Environment Facility ngeBhange Lomhlaba.
