Flood IN GUYANA

Flood forces city to a standstill

The Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Leslie Ramsammy was caught at the crossroads. On the one hand, sections of the country were affected by yesterday’s flooding whilst farmers were demanding water for their crops.

“The pumps at the Lamaha Canal and the one within the vicinity of the Guyana Forestry Headquarters are not working and we are trying to provide as much support as we can.”
Dr. Ramsammy also disclosed to members of the media corps that during the flood there was a high tide and the two pumps which are not operating are critical to this situation.

PPP/C aint gat shame.  ::angry:: ::dead:: ::
[/quote]The 2012 budget had said that Government expended $7.1 billion on drainage and irrigation systems across the country whilst in the 2013 budget, a total of $6.5 billion was budgeted for the final payments towards the acquisition of fixed irrigation pumps, the construction and rehabilitation of pumps and pump stations in Regions Three, Four, Five and Six.

we had 5 inches of water from rainfall water  With the drainage system at its best, the coastland was never able to take off more than three inches of rainfall ...so ppp/c need to stop wasting their time on nonsense and get down to the real issue here.

yall stop throwing garbage in the canals

Minister Ramsammy said that the contractor, who was blazed for lagging behind on the $237M Patentia Pump station, is still moving slowly as the pump has not been installed as yet.
