Dear Editor,

It is becoming overbearing to have the entire city flood so badly, including some unfortunate people’s homes, just for a half-a-day’s rain. It is obvious that current measures don’t work and have not ever worked, and this is compounded by bad management at various levels.

The time has come for Guyana to seriously consider putting in a few storm drains. This is particularly pertinent in the light of the anticipated climate change when Guyana could expect higher than normal rainfall in the wet season. Storm drains are the norm in many cities, and in our case they are long overdue. It is a worthy investment and would be welcomed by all.

Yours faithfully,
M Schanzenbaecher
