Minister of Agriculture Robert Persaud says that the draft design of the East Demerara Water Conservancy relief canal at Hope/Dochfour is available for public scrutiny and comments until January 21, 2010.
According to the Government Information Agency, the document was also sent to the Guyana Association of Professional Engineers (GAPE) and other stakeholders including international experts for their input.
Persaud anticipates that these comments and suggestions will be considered by the consortium of local and international drainage experts contracted by the government.
Very shortly, aspects of the draft report will be available on the Ministry of Agriculture’s website: www.agriculture.gov.gy, GINA said.
