You in your own words were there RP. Did you not find a solution to help these farmers whilst you were there enjoying guyanese hospitality? You should have asked for a meeting with these ministers and Jagdeo and tell them how to help!
Why wait until you come back to Canada where it’s cold with 3 feet high snow and mushy ones on the pavement and roads and blog that these farmers need help? Bet you wish you were back there with hospitable people catering your whims, eating curry and rice with your feet cock up on the verandah. EH!
Tell us again…..how can YOU help?

I am telling you this president is nuts, not to compensate the farmers, maybe someone should drain the water in his backyard and the other ministers. I was in Mahaicony and was being hosted by a rice farmer, the guy spend 12k a day in disel to pump water with his tractor, night in and day out, works like a slave in the field, i have experience this first hand. Not recently there was a dry spell why was the preparation not done then, well do some diging and you will see some was is pocketing the cash. These farmers need help asap.

Mahaicony/Mahaica is more available and has more capacity than the links to the Demerara River. The MMA canal was intended (when completed) to assist in controlling the EDWC at safe levels. Sad to say the ‘mouths of these rivers are all silted up so the water flow is reduced hence the rising levels up river!!
A while back we used hollow tree trunks for tubes and they lasted for years. Now I guess no one is interested in that. Metal tubes are the ‘thing’ today!
They need to ‘fix’ the EDWC. That is long overdue! Last attempt at a ‘fix’ resulted in its capacity decreasing!!!

Breaking news!!! GY has more timber that they can handle… Use timber if you don’t have money for tubes. The timber can be replaced when money is ‘found’ for tubes!!!

Surprisingly we hear of only two sluices and they both drain into the same area (Mahaica/Mahaicony)??? I thought this canal ran west to the Demerara river where the Cunha canal was part of the drainage system??? Aren’t there other outlets to the Demerara river or are these the only functioning gates????
