The East Demerara Water Conservancy (EDWC) has never been as “well maintained” as it is presently, according to Agriculture Minister Dr Leslie Ramsammy, who has credited ongoing works being done with the support from the Japanese government.

“This conservancy has never been in the condition it is in right now… it is well maintained and we are very proud of the works being done here with the support from the Japanese Government, the IDB and the World Bank,” Ramsammy said last Friday, during a tour of the EDWC with a team including Japan’s Vice Foreign Affairs Minister Takashi Uto
