The HydroTimor weBlog

We are preparing an info package on the Iralalaru project, to be done by Kassius Klei Ximenes from HydroTimor (photo) and Basil Rolandsen from the Bouvet Foundation.

The info package will consist of a brochure (ref the Gariuai brochure), as well as a DVD with video and supplementary information. The brochure will be finished during October, while the DVD is scheduled for late November.

This info, together with adapted video clips, will also be posted at the web site. We look forward to inform more about Iralalaru Hydroelectric Power Project, as the plans are now being finalised before tendering. Work should start next year, to be finished in 2011.
