Country braces for intense rainy season

Jan 07, 2011 News

Guyana is currently experiencing and is being affected by La Niña weather conditions and the most recent statistical and forecast models indicate that this event is expected to sustain or increase its strength, and endure at least through the normal La Niña life cycle into the first quarter of 2011.
As such, Guyana can expect above normal rainfall during this rainy season as has been the case for the last few days.
According to the National Drainage & Irrigation Authority (NDIA), due to a concerted maintenance programme of canals and drains by NDCs, CDCs, WUAs and farmers groups, the drainage system has been coping well with the current weather phenomenon.
Works are expected to continue and intensify during the period of rains, but it is unclear at this time how much has been and will be spent.
Works are also ongoing in East Berbice, East Coast Demerara, Wakenaam, Leguan, Region 10, Essequibo Coast and Mahaica/Mahaicony riverain areas.
The NDIA says that it will continue to undertake its programme of works along with the undertaking of major projects to mitigate these conditions.
The works include the dredging of outfall channels along the coastline, deployment of personnel and equipment such as mobile pumps to vulnerable areas and clearing and excavating of critical drainage canals.
