Recent heavy rainfall has seen the Abary conservancy rise to a high level, resulting in excess water being discharged over the spill weir, but officials reported on Wednesday that the dams are safe.
The officials, including Chairman of the Mahaica-Mahaicony-Abary/ Agricultural-Development/ Authority (MMA/ADA), Rudolph Gajraj; General Manager, Aubrey Charles and Region Five chairman, Harrinarine Baldeo took Minister of Agriculture Robert Persaud on a “familiarisation visit” to the conservancy.
The team visited the Daageraad spill weir, which is a 5,000 ft long concrete reinforced structure and observed water spilling over as the level reached 64 GD (Georgetown Datum).
